Flowers speaks to me like no other show ever. Dark, relatable, funny, charming and awkward. I absolutely love it and have watched the first series about 8 times now. Adore everything about it.

Flowers is a delicate and darkly moving family drama that's also entertaining, imaginative, and, of course, funny.
