description Lasting eighteen hours and featuring umpteen locations, Twin Peaks: The Return spreads out across time and space in a manner rarely seen in David Lynch’s work. In short, it sprawls. This article explores how sprawl might be a useful term through which to assess the series and how Lynch positions sprawl as a productive mode of thinking, despite the negative associations the term usually evokes.
