Has anyone watched "Flowers" on Netflix (or in 2018 in the UK)?
I just finished it. It was dark, and funny, and the cast was amazing. Olivia Coleman (pretty famous now) and Julian Barrett (Mighty Boosh) are the parents in a very odd family. The story brings a human, or humane, way of using various characters mental health problems in the main storyline.
What surprised me the most was that the writer Will Sharpe, who was also in the cast, was in his late 20's when he wrote this.

It was much much better than I imagined it would be. From Wikipedia:
"Reviews for the series were positive. Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes rated it 100% "fresh" based on 10 reviews.[10] The Guardian praised the series and called it "a gloriously dark sitcom about depression and rage".[3] The New York Times also reviewed it positively saying, "Flowers isn't really about any particular story. It's a portrait – a weird, Edward Gorey-like portrait of a family with loves, suspicions and insecurities, perhaps not all that different from yours, after all."[11]
Reception of the second series was similarly positive, once again garnering a 100% "fresh" score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 9 reviews.[12] Writing for The Guardian, Sam Wollaston awarded four stars out of five, stating: "The second series of Will Sharpe’s deeply imaginative comedy-drama has been serious and sensitive in its handling of difficult issues, and hilarious to boot."[13]"
