    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]

    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.
