It was only "solved" because the network suits forced this to happen. They did not understand Lynch's vision and it started to sag in the ratings.

Yes, I watched it when it first aired and lived somewhat close to where the interiors were filmed. A friend of mine once missed an episode so he went to the studio and asked to watch the previous week's episode. They actually let him watch it there.

Also, Lynch left the show because they made them ‘solve’ the murder. That’s why s2 isn’t as good as s1 until the last couple episodes when Lynch came back

Why do all of my favorite shows have to be "ruined" by networks? TP, Lost, DBZA, Heroes, dammit people just let the creative types do what they want!

Literally the last episode. Not even last couple episodes.

It's solved in the middle of Season 2 in such a shocking way he's basically trying to middle finger the TV suits. It's amazing that that murder was shown on network television in 1991. After that, the plot devolves mostly into campy nonsense, then Lynch shows up in the last episode, blows the daylights out of the camp plots, does a crazy twist, and then it's canceled. Pretty legendary TV moment from 30 years ago.

Just couldn’t remember if the finale was a two parter or not

Everything from the moment when the killer is revealed, to the Tibetan Book of the Dead/flooding prison cell scene, is some of the series’s strongest and darkest moments. Making the reveal the way they did turned out to be a good choice, it’s just that the aftermath floundered.
