Almost as bad as Carnivale in the respect of ambiguous endings, though. (It's an amazing show--one of the best things I've ever seen on TV--that was meant to have 6 seasons but only lasted two and most certainly does not end properly.)

Frost's role is indeed great, but Lynch was the director of the last episode. I guess that's what made it interesting again. Resolving who killed Laura Palmer in the first season was a real shame though. The producers always ruin everything. They just forced Lynch and Frost to resolve it, still don't know why.
The whole problem was with the shows irregular showings, during the Gulf war I think. Nobody knew when was the show running, so they just assumed it was still as ****ty as it was in middle of the second season.
The special features in the box-set discuss all this period's problems, if you never got it.
