Wellllll

Twin Peaks is a TV series so you're not going to see a lot of the abject weirdness of, say, Eraserhead. There's an actual mystery plot to it and some supernatural stuff in a similar sort of vein to the X-Files at parts. The main reason to watch it is for the extremely eccentric characters and the awesome direction. It influenced a whole lot of shows that came after it and if you like the Simpsons you'll see a lot of stuff they referenced throughout the series.

The first 10 episodes or so basically play out like a soap opera before things go completely batshit in the second season so there's that.
