We were the same Shooms- but as people kept going on about it we ended up watching it as we were worried we were missing something mega. It is ace, though we were late watching the second half of season 2, so subsequently have yet to do 3 (still with me lol).
Its deffo worth watching, we got toally addicted, as most do and watched it hour after hour.
We have the full first, and first half of the second seasons if you would like to borrow it. Real ones an all, none of your pikey copy shit in chez Johnson. You can watch it on the proper telly and everything.
As for twin peaks, i am just watching that for the first time. I am up to episode 2 second series. I loved the first
