Personally, I actually enjoyed it. It had that 90s nostalgic vibe, and I liked it.
However, the renewed 25 years later season felt like Lynch was mocking the audience (or was high on something). The season was boring as fck, story was bad and made no sense. None of the loose ends from the original show were resolved. The acting was so bad, I actually wanted to give it up after the first episode. And he didn't even give us what we wanted to see more of... Detective Cooper. Instead we got braindead cooper and evil doppleganger cooper for all but the last few minutes of the season. And for some weird reason, every episode ended on some bad recording of a live song that had nothing to do with the show.
I am a big fan of the original show, despite its many shortcomings, and rewatch it still periodically for nostalgia.
The Return however is IMO absolute pinnacle of television as an art form, I am not sure it will be equalled in my lifetime, if ever. I am really glad Lynch got to make it, and didn't pull any punches and created a singular uncompromising masterpiece that spoke directly to the core of my being.
I totally get that it isn't for everyone, but that's ok - it's a minor miracle people who do appreciate that kind of TV got a show for us.
