This is peepshow meet Tamara Drew with a splash of Cohen brother and Time Burton to boot. A grand cast of bizarre characters all spiraling out of control in a grim situation comedy. Julian Barrett is on top form and the interactions are subtle and don't pander to archetypes instead allowing itself to be a little obscure. Between the suicidal children's book writer, the neurotic trombone instructor, the art hour psychopathic sister and the inventor wannabe brother; there is enough in the just the flowers family alone for a great shower never mind the auxiliary characters that also seem to have had the same level of care put into them. This screams cult classic even if the general British public don't adopt it right away, it will find a very loving home with film/TV/comedy fans everywhere much like "Nighty night" or "Monkeydust".
score 10/10
