    The writer’s achievement here is to have provided us with the video equivalent of a good summer read — Golden Years is entertaining and substantial at the same time.

    There's a lot to like about the show, even for those who've somehow missed reading his books or attending his movies...It helps, though, that "Years" is good story-telling, unlike "Twin Peaks," which corkscrewed itself into a Nielsen grave with a plethora of space cadets from the Northwest but no fixed address for plot.
