Without doubt one of the most singularly unusual television shows in the history of the medium, Wild Palms (obliquely referencing the Faulkner novel from which its title is taken) is an ultra-paranoid political thriller that takes place in  world clearly reminiscent of David Lynch, whose own unique foray into television, Twin Peaks, concluded its broadcast two years before this was aired in 1993 and was an obvious inspiration for the dream like ambience on display here.  It is important to keep Lynch in mind when watching this series, the 6-episode entirety of which is available on this low priced two-disc DVD, to fully appreciate and enjoy it.  Like Lynch's work, Wild Palms is not overly worried about verisimilitude.  That the action is supposed to take place in the year 2007 adds to the fun of watching it today.  To read our full length review, click on the image at left.
