Twin Peaks -- a show written by David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, etc.) about an FBI agent investigating the murder of a teenage girl, but after he shows up in town, things start to get a little strange...only 2 seasons long, but has a movie that serves as a prequel to the show

Along with MIAMI VICE, CRIME STORY and THE SOPRANOS, these would be my all-time favorite shows.
