GeniusTo conceive and create this crazy story as such an enthralling drama is incredible. Performances seem beyond acting. Very insightful into mental illness without ramming it down your throat. And thankfully, a happy ending. As good as TV gets but I suspect not for everyone.

I'm not sure if this was written specifically with Olivia Colman and Julian Barratt in mind - but they are utterly brilliant and perfect for their roles. Dealing with dark themes throughout but in an uplifting way that I can't begin to explain, there are crazy surreal moments, tones of infinite sadness, rhythms of tragedy, but also creepy awkwardness and plenty of laughs as well.The whole story is brilliantly written and directed, and Will Sharpe is an inspiration. I'm speechless at how good this is. Drop whatever you are doing and what the whole thing in one go.

It's hard to describe what is truly sublime about this comedy drama without appearing gushy and incoherent. Depression is a condition that is rarely talked out and often misunderstood - even by the people who suffer from it.Flowers tackles the subject head-on and the results are a gloriously confused, achingly beautiful depiction of a torment that's all so difficult to describe.The dark humour lays perfectly amongst the bleak photography and surreal imagery. There have been negative critiques given of the absurdity of certain situations within the shows own universe. The reality that exists in the heads of the Flowers family and friends is heightened. No real clue is given to their location. It almost exists as a construct of the main character's mind. Every main character gets proper development and emotional impact, especially towards the end.From personal experience, it's impossible not to relate to this on a deeply personal level. It way stay with me for a very long time.Will Sharpe. Thank you.

This is peepshow meet Tamara Drew with a splash of Cohen brother and Time Burton to boot. A grand cast of bizarre characters all spiraling out of control in a grim situation comedy. Julian Barrett is on top form and the interactions are subtle and don't pander to archetypes instead allowing itself to be a little obscure. Between the suicidal children's book writer, the neurotic trombone instructor, the art hour psychopathic sister and the inventor wannabe brother; there is enough in the just the flowers family alone for a great shower never mind the auxiliary characters that also seem to have had the same level of care put into them. This screams cult classic even if the general British public don't adopt it right away, it will find a very loving home with film/TV/comedy fans everywhere much like "Nighty night" or "Monkeydust".
