The Flowers family is incredibly dysfunctional. Parents Deborah and Maurice are no longer happy together, but have not yet decided to divorce.

San Francisco Chronicle by David Wiegand

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.

Entertainment Weekly by Clark Collis

Flowers is an extremely weird, if often very funny, comedy bouquet. [6 May 2016, p.51]

The New York Times by Neil Genzlinger

If your own family is anything like the clan in this delightfully demented show, seek help immediately.

The Hollywood Reporter by Daniel Fienberg

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).

Denver Post by Joanne Ostrow

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.

We Got This Covered by Stephen Puddicombe

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.
