Stunning depiction of the howling darkness.
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.
