Indeed... Sometimes I think a 'Twin Peaks' comparison can actually be counter-productive when trying to establish a large viewing audience. I was speaking to some work colleagues about Twin Peaks the other week and they all commented that it turned into a 'really weird' show very quickly and they all stopped watching it when it was first broadcasted. Those same people may very well enjoy Wayward Pines but could be put off watching it by the Twin Peaks 'weird and quirky marketing machine' comparison.
However, I'd be lying if I said that the Twin Peaks comparison hadn't increased my personal interest in checking out Wayward Pines despite the fact that they're not at all alike.
