There was a small explosion of great American television around this period with Twin Peaks, Dark Skies, Gothic, Nowhere Man, X-Files and of course Oliver Stone and Bruce Wagner’s Wild Palms.
This was a period when the concept of Virtual Reality was just surfacing out of the margins and into the mainstream via films like Lawnmower Man etc (though writers like PK Dick and obscure German films like Fassbinder’s World On A Wire had been exploring these concepts for years).
I’ve always thought Wild Palms was visionary television at its best and one of Oliver Stone’s most under-rated projects - its definitely not mainstream viewing but if you enjoy series Twin Peaks then this is for you.
