Basically, there's an important plot thread that wraps up midway through season 2, and then the quality of the show drops off a cliff immediately. I'd say all the red and yellow episodes are very skippable for casual viewing (technically there's new elements in those episodes that get referenced later, but I would argue that they are very minor, and the boring sitcom/soap opera shenanigans will just prevent you from getting to the better stuff later on). Lynch came back for the finale of season 2 which is one of the best episodes, so watch that, followed by the movie Fire Walk With Me, and then season 3.

Season 3 is pure gold and a much more cohesive vision than the first two (all 18 episodes written and directed by Frost and Lynch), so it's very much worth navigating the prior unevenness.
