So much happens in Flowers that it’s hard to believe it comprises only six half-hour episodes. More to the point, though, is that the show is so completely hilarious for a very long time. Sharpe’s writing is on point at every moment, with a wondrous attention to detail.
Flowers is an extremely weird, if often very funny, comedy bouquet. [6 May 2016, p.51]

I absolutely love this show. I've never seen anything like it. It made me laugh and it made me cry. I love all of the quirk-ie characters. It's just perfect.

SEASON 1
The aspect about this glorious black comedy meets french connection is it's capacity to make you ignore your own life completely for the 6X30 minutes it lasts. It's over the top enough to make you cringe , yet down to earth enough to feel you have a real connection with some characters.

SEASON 1
If your own family is anything like the clan in this delightfully demented show, seek help immediately.
Distinctive, but not necessarily unique, Flowers feels like a mixture of Franny and Zooey and Harold and Maude by way of Roald Dahl (or a mixture of The Royal Tenenbaums and Arrested Development by way of Lemony Snicket, if you prefer your references more second-generation).
Seeso’s first original scripted comedy, written and directed by BAFTA-nominated Will Sharpe, is a head-scratcher. It does have Olivia Colman going for it.
The show attempts to strike a fine balancing act between black humor and touching emotional content--and is generally more successful at executing the latter.
I think Coleman's the best & really wanted to like this show but halfway through the first episode, I bailed out. The characters were simply too out there to the point that I didn't find any of them the least bit amusing, just weird & annoying.
