I’d agree that the very last episode is gold, but I think the general consensus is that after the reveal and Lynch’s departure, the quality took a nose-dive and only pulled up for the finale.

Huh, i had no idea Lynch had left by that point. Maybe I'm in the minority who really enjoyed that season 2 arc then. It was a little cheesy at times with the beauty pagent and all, but i found Earle to be a sinister villain topping Frank Booth from Lynch's Blue Velvet. Far stranger and creepy with his overall plans.

It’s not that theyre definitively bad, but they lose all the meta-narrative because David didnt like to explain it to anyone, and he was the only one on the staff at the time that understood how everything fit together. Without him the dream falls apart

He seems like a fantastic visionary that's equally fantastically difficult to work with
