It does lack the melodrama of the earlier series, but there's still a warmth to many of the characters, you are just less guided by music and tight plotting. loose ends, unresolved plots, ambiguity and odd pacing are understandably annoying for many. You'll be frustrated by scenes which suggest the story is kicking into high gear in traditional Hollywood ways, only to then be presented with a five minute shot of a man cleaning a floor. If you're after a fully-resolved, tightly-plotted, didactic storytelling, you won't get it.
I'd understand why many fans would despise its new form. I appreciated its slow rhythms, found the pacing hypnotic. Good on him I say! That creative control means many of the aspects which came from others in the original show are missing. In his old age, an artist had a chance to throw a kitchen sink's worth of ideas on screen, under the banner of his old show, with complete creative control.
I adored this new Twin Peaks, and I understand why it's divisive. It's condescending to tell people they don't 'get it', and it's narrow-minded to claim anyone who loves it is pretentious.
