Keegan-Michael Key’s incredible ability to pronounce words in hilarious ways has turned him into an internet sensation. He’s already changed how people say things like “New York City” and “YES!” We’ve jokingly suggested he should host reality TV shows, commentate on the Olympics, and even be the face of Ocean Spray.

Okay, so I started watching Prime Video’s Scarpetta, and right away, I got a serious Twin Peaks vibe. It’s like the show is giving a little wink to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s masterpiece.
