Product Description
Homecoming Queen Laura Palmer is found dead, washed up on a riverbank, wrapped in plastic sheeting. FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper is called in to investigate the murder of this young woman in the small, Northwestern town of Twin Peaks. What he doesn't know is that in Twin Peaks, no one is innocent.
Twin Peaks was created by TV veteran Mark Frost (Hill Street Blues) and edgy filmmaker David Lynch, Academy Award nominated director of The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Dr. It aired on ABC from 1990 - 1991. The series, with a few exceptions, followed the interesting convention that one episode equaled one day in the town of Twin Peaks. This means that after 30 episodes, the series covers just slightly more than one month.
After Twin Peaks was canceled by ABC, David Lynch went on to make the prequel film, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, the story of the last seven days of Laura Palmer.

If you live in the UK and want to get Twin Peaks Season 2 Region 2, I'd recommend that you get this.
Like some of the other reviewers here, I was getting pretty sick of waiting for a UK release of Season 2 Region 2, which looked ever more unlikely as time went on.
This boxed set is a perfectly adequate alternative, as only the packaging is in Dutch, and the most set-up you need to do is pick "English" upon playing the DVD.
It's nicely presented in a similar manner to the Season 1 boxed set as well.

DELICIOUSLY WEIRD!

Sure, everyone has his/hers favorite TV shows, and preferences shift with seasonal mood, age and experiences. However, THIS IS TELEVISION AT HER BEST!
Atmospheric, mysterious, intriguing, smart,...Words are just not capable to describe this prematurely terminated series! Every time I watch it I discover another moment, another gem I treasure. Too bad it got treated as filler material resulting in its eventual cancellation.
The quality of the second season set is not exactly at par with the first: much less extra material (I was hoping for the spin-off commercials, especially the Japanese ones!). Yet the episodes are beautifully treated: image and sound do them justice.
After all, it is the episodes we bought it for.
Buy it and make weekends out of it. Once in a blue moon a certain magic manifests amongst us. One that never fades.
And there is always music in the air.
How do I know? A gentle giant told me.
PS:
There is now a GOLD EDITION release of both seasons - with all the extras one could desire! My advice: opt for that one.
Finally...

I would reccommend this to anyone who, like me, has been waiting for EVER for a UK release of Season 2. Apart from a little bit of writing on the box, the disks are just the same as if it had been a UK release. The default on the disks is for English with no subtitles, and they contain all the extras of the US release. In fact, I prefer this to the Region 1 as the box art ties in better with that of the Season 1 release. So don't hang around for them to eventually release it in the UK in two seperate parts, grab this one! :)
life is now complete ;-p

With no set UK release date for season 2 your only way to make life complete would be to buy the separate volume 1 & 2 mainland european release but why do that when the Dutch have season 2 available as one complete boxset.
For the obsessive like me:
The six disc set is nicely presented, the two volumes are packaged gatefold style.
The front cover of the boxset is in English as are the front covers of volumes one & two, the writing on the DVDs is also in English.
Only the backs' of the boxset, volumes one & two are in Dutch.
Once you insert the DVD, you are asked to choose your language, the menu loads up in your respective language & then finally you get to watch season 2 in all its digitally restored glory.
