  1. I love this show! You are literally the first person I have come across that knows about it lol. It was so striking and moving, I wish they had made loads of series.

  2. Season One was some of the most underrated programming I’ve seen. Lost my patience at times in Season Two, but still thought it was brilliant.

  3. I was cutting wills hair for a while when they were in east London, it’s the first thing I said, I loved it, he’s such a nice guy aswell

  4. Yes, it was weird – funny, painful eccentric and brilliant. I loved it, but the ending was almost too heartbreaking to watch. It has stayed with me.

  5. I started watching it because I remember Julian Barratt from Boosh, kept watching it because it was so good.

    It’s a very raw and real portrayal of strained families and mental health, I did cry a lot in between the humour.

    11/10

  6. I’ve never heard of it, but it’s got Howard moon in so I’ll probably like it, thanks! 

  7. It’s the best show I’ll tell people not to watch! Some great depictions of mental health in there – Will Sharpe (I believe?), the writer, worked closely with Mind to write it!

  8. Beautiful and heartbreaking show, it really stayed with me. My heart just bled and bled for Shun

  9. Flowers was wonderful. I have bipolar disorder and I was struggling a lot at the time it was aired. I thought it was a brilliant depiction of mental illness and I sobbed for Shun and Maurice, and for Amy as she became increasingly manic. I liked how unapologetically dark and brutal it was in the places that other series often gloss over. I actually considered writing to Will Sharpe about how much it had moved me but in the end I felt a bit silly.

  10. Yeee it’s fuckin great. Watched it for Julian, stayed for the “life is like a giant poo” analogies

  11. Is Olivia Colman the most prolific British actress of all time? She was in two cult national-psyche-defining sit coms (Peep Show and Green Wing), a long running detective show, played Queen Elizabeth on TV and queen Anne in an oscar winning film, was in that insane film about the nudists – and that’s just what I can name off the top of my head.

     Now it turns out she was in another underappreciated hit with half of the Boosh? Insane
