Weinberg and Jordskott are two European series that have been discussed by critics in the feuilletons in connection with Twin Peaks. Based on the assumption that there is a direct reference between the hypotext Twin Peaks and the hypertexts Weinberg and Jordskott, this article examines to what extent Twin Peaks establishes a specific series genre. In doing so, seven content-related and formal aspects of the respective narratives are comparatively focused on: cinematic staging, plot time and location, narrative structure, rationally inexplicable elements, the grotesque, intra- and intermediality, and the lack of restoration of order.
