Mulholland Drive is easily his best work.
Twin Peaks was an excellent show, but a mere footnote to the towering TV achievement of Peyton Place.
Although the cast is obviously mostly excellent and any returning players are welcome, I think it reveals Lynch's worst traits that he has (apparently) REFUSED to hire Lara Flynn Boyle as payback for her not returning for Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This, in spite of her pleas. She was central to the success of the show (the great montage of grieving that opens the series--and especially her role in it--is the series high-point). Boyle was a daring artist--as proven by Twin Peaks and the MAGNIFICENT films Equinox and Afterglow. She was also cursed with a particular kind of youthful beauty and has disfigured herself trying to maintain that beauty through really unfortunate plastic surgery. If Lynch weren't so spiteful, he might have provided the opportunity to redeem her ravaged humanity in Twin Peaks Season 3.
