Various – Wild Palms (1993)

A multi-national corporation attempts to take over America while small pockets of resistance hold out against rampant technology.

Quote:
Rarely has a series so purely distilled its essence into a single image as Wild Palms does. In the semi-infamous opening scene of the first episode of this overstuffed five-hour event series, hotshot patent attorney Harry Wyckoff (Jim Belushi) suddenly awakes and walks outside in his underwear to discover a rhinoceros standing in his empty in-ground swimming pool. Upon seeing the animal, Wyckoff solemnly intones, “So this is how it begins.” With this deeply goofy yet oddly haunting image, Wild Palms announces itself as a work of grand-operatic camp, a clumsy yet entertaining attempt to cram as many weird and wacky ideas into one series as the constraints of early-’90s network television will possibly allow.

Wild Palms first aired a couple years after the cancellation of Twin Peaks, and it was an obvious attempt by ABC to recapture some of the off-beat magic of David Lynch and Mark Frosts’s series. The opening credits, with those slowly swaying palm trees set to Ryuichi Sakamoto’s ominous synth theme, practically announce the series as Twin Peaks: Los Angeles, but the atmosphere here is far loonier and the plotting much denser than in Twin Peaks. Wild Palms was widely promoted on the basis of Oliver Stone’s involvement as executive producer, and its narrative reflects the controversial filmmaker’s penchant for vast conspiracies that resolve themselves in almost Shakespearean fashion.
