Interestingly though, Matthew also draws quite a bit on, not another ''Twin Peaks'' character, but a character from another prominent David Lynch work, namely Jeffrey Beaumont of ''Film/BlueVelvet''; much like Jeffrey, Matthew's attempt at playing an AmateurSleuth leads him to discover a criminal conspiracy in his home town, which involves a drug trade, a local crime lord, and an attractive, but troubled nightclub singer.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Unlike ''Twin Peaks'', which had explicitly supernatural events overlaying the entire ordeal, ''Mizzurna Falls'' is more ambiguous as to whether or not the events involve actual supernatural phenomena, or whether they're simply myths that certain people believe in which influences their actions. In that sense it has more in common with the 1st season of ''Series/TrueDetective''.
