Bottom line MB, is if you've ONLY seen the old show, and nothing else Lynch has done; those people definitely won't like this new version... It's really much closer to Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive than it is to the 90's TP show.
Very slow, inexplicable and surreal most of the time so far, but this is an 18hr Lynch-fest that is just getting started. I am very intrigued as to where it's going to go. The path is slowly forming.
One comment I saw said that he has created his own new (wholly other) version of "quirkiness" for 2017.
