FWIW, I don't find that much of the show cold. There is the typical Lynch distancing and hyperfocus on emotionalism and awkward moments, and there are certainly a number of sequences meant to be deliberately remote, alienating or disturbing (the doppelganger's interrogation or the various Vegas bigwig scenes, to name two), but I generally feel that when the show is in Twin Peaks or in scenes with "Dougie" that it's very warm and humanistic in its way. I thought the little scene with Jeremy Lindholm's character (he used to lurk here - hi!) and Carl in the car just chatting and going about their day was sweet. I love those slices of workaday life, even when both men are clearly a bit more down on their luck than a lot of known TP residents.
I also don't know how much we can say Twin Peaks as a town has gone downhill. So far I think it seems to be existing largely in the kind of uneasy balance it did in the past - there are places full of warmth, light and happiness or music mixed with a dark underside coming from the woods that no one has ever fully conquered or tamed, or come to terms with. In the past that involved One Eyed Jack's, Leo, etc.; here we have Richard Horne and Red lurking on the outskirts of town or in the logging factories. And it trickles down to the kids and the young people, like "little Denny Craig" or Becky and Steven.
What I do think has changed a bit is the increasing modernity moving in - certain North Bend/Snoqualamie? streets used for the town look very banal, like the brief shot outside Mike Nelson's dealership. Or Jacoby out in the woods like a hermit, podcasting. The new breed of cops, isolated from the old guard in their backroom nerve center. Even Nadine has a nice PC rig.
