Once the Laura Palmer mystery is solved in S2:E7, it's all downhill. ABC forced Lynch and Mark Frost to wrap up the mystery in Season 2 -- Lynch wanted to keep it going for the life of the series. The resolution spelled the series' doom (and it was briefly a huge pop culture phenomenon) -- though sustaining the mystery throughout Season 2 and beyond might've have been fraught with peril as well.
I watched the series when it first aired and I was obsessed -- I was already a huge fan of Blue Velvet. But other than the pilot, S1:E3 and S2:E7, I don't think it's held up all that well -- it really is a quirky soap opera to a large extent. Hugely influential and some great, offbeat casting, though.
I'd have to agree
