underrated show directed & written by will sharpe (the hot japanese-british guy who plays ethan in the white lotus season 2). stumbled upon it on netflix in 2019, and it immediately became one of my all-time fave shows. it's a dark comedy about a children's book author who struggles to hide his depression from his dysfunctional family. hilarious, quirky, poignant.
and what i love about UK series is that they're finite: 3-6 episodes, 2-3 seasons. that's it. they don't go on for like 10 seasons, 30 episodes each, which is a lot to keep up with, and can be painful to watch too, since most of the time the show quality fluctuates or deteriorates. so, for me, the UK format is ideal. flowers only has 2 seasons with 6 episodes each, and each episode is under 30 mins. so good. and there's olivia colman. need i say more?
