bill-51117 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.

Khun Kru Mark 'Flowers' is based on the premise that dysfunctional British behavior, however far-fetched and bizarre, equals comedy. So much so that EVERYONE in this series is over-the-top weird. There's not a single character for the viewer to get on board with and root for... and therein is where it fails.The cast is capable - especially the phenomenal (and always busy) Olivia Coleman. Actually, her turn was the main attraction keeping me focused on the screen.It has a lot in common with the 1999 comedy series, "The league of gentlemen." Everyone is relentlessly eccentric and loud. If you got on with that popular program, then you'll most probably find something to keep you tuned into this series, too. British eccentricity provides a rich vein of content for writers to use. But the success of this appeal is based on the surroundings and how other people react to this behavior. It's simply not enough for everyone to act silly.Also - this series borrows too heavily from the much better 1985 Tom Sharpe comedy, "Blott on the Landscape." That, at least, seemed to have a purpose.Not terrible... but neither is it funny or entertaining.

Will Bowie 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.

prosper1 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.
