A Disappointing Continuation

How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Season 2 was an unmitigated disaster. I'm typically a fan of dark comedies, but season 2 felt as if they were improvising it on the fly, and then ended the story at episode 5, then suddenly realized they had a contract for a sixth episode and did a flashback to the beginning with some filler. This series was awful. I wish I had my time back.

Good comedy often depends on a mixture of almost-sympathetic semi-heroes and an accompanying cast of grotesques. Will Sharpe's 'Flowers' doesn't quite get the balance right: almost every character is grotesque, and often in ways that seem bizarrely untrue to life. Yes, most of us can seem pretty weird if you catch us on a bad day, but children's' illustrators with a penchant for drawing superheroes with erect phalluses? Good sitcom cleverly sets up situations that makes the absurd seem possible; with 'Flowers', it's the premise. What makes this even stranger is that the writer is apparently trying to tell us a serious story about depression at the same time as revelling in this strange constructed universe. For me, the show brought little in the way of either laughter or tears.

Yep. If not the best. It's been so long since a TV show has had all of the right components and combines them perfectly to create this masterpiece; The show revolves around an over-arching theme of mental illness which makes for uncomfortable yet gripping viewing. From attempted suicide to death, Flowers guarantees laughter even when you know you shouldn't.Flowers also has a tiny cast of characters which works as an incredible advantage. All of the characters appear to be very one dimensional such as (Shun the comedy relief) but as the series progresses we see each and every character develop at a remarkable pace yet non seems rushed. The strong character development is matched by pristine casting choices; Olivia Colman, Julian Barrat and Sophia Di Martino all preform perfectly in their respective roles to create a constant atmosphere of unease and tension.Aiding the atmosphere is the choice of music for the show. Screeching sounds throughout reflect the tone of the show and never let you forget that this is not a normal family.Despite all of the gloom. (I think) Flowers is a wonderful comedy that mixes humble, horrifying and hilarious moments to craft one of the best TV shows.

how did this get commissioned? total rubbish. not funny, not engaging, sophomoric. A terrible waste of money and talent. At some point there needs to be an actor's union that allows members not to appear in career killing shows like flowers. it is difficult to review something this bad when one word, "crap" sums it up. I often think that bad drugs make bad television and this confirms this. The only excuse I can come up with for this series is bad drugs and blackmail. Stay away from this, it is a total waste of time, unless, unless, you are a fan of bad independent theater, which is where this series belongs.... like a three day run in a rainy February in a church basement in Dundee.
