Oh man, if you've never seen the show, then do yourself a favor and make some room in your schedule.
Lynch himself only directs a few episodes, but for the majority of the series he and co-creator Mark Frost hand-picked the creative staff, so the vision remains true to Lynch and Frost's original. Up until about halfway through the second season, it's completely brilliant. Then, due to network pressure and such, Lynch and Frost lost quite a bit of creative control, and for about 7 or 8 episodes the show gets pretty silly and unfocused. The real tragedy is that it starts to get great again right at the end (Lynch and Frost began to regain control), but right then it's over since it was canceled.
As a whole, though, it's truly a groundbreaking work of art. It's completely genre-less; at times absolutely horrifying, sometimes hilarious, and always engrossing. Personally, one of my top 5 favorite TV shows.
