In Twin Peaks, everything comes together - before breaking apart anew.
Both halves are perfect: the fairy tale ending that ties the main story line knots (even, as we shall see, TOO perfectly); and the "wicked witch" dark twist at the end, which spirals everything into darkness.
The cinematography is top notch here, from the flashy final showdown and the subsequent interdimensional encounters between Dale Cooper, the One-Armed Man and Philip Jeffries to the wholly unexpected, tonally perfect revisiting of Fire Walk with Me and Season 1 Pilot scenes. Visual and audio design is both pleasing and experimental.
The story surprises are so huge that it is better not to spoil them.
On the downside, we are left hanging on multiple minor story threads, but my hope is that those will be revisited in possible future seasons. The last episode that follows, episode 18, continues the story, but episode 17 serves as a stand-alone ending to the entire saga. And it is so good that the whole show culminates there.
