This dark, imaginative comedy follows the eccentric and dysfunctional members of the Flowers family. Maurice, author of a children's book series, and his wife, Deborah, a music teacher, have a troubled relationship. Maurice struggles with inner demons and dark secrets, while Deborah becomes increasingly suspicious that Maurice is in a secret relationship with Shun, the man who illustrates Maurice's books. The couple are parents to 25-year-old maladjusted twins, who are both competing for the attention of a neighbor.

Richard T @Manpuppy Apr 27 Hilariously tragic. And for once, Olivia Colman hasn't the only perfectly restrained performance in a show. Everyone is splendid, and whoever cast Sophia DiMartino as Colman's daughter deserves an award, if there are in fact awards for brilliant casting. See more PoppyJacqueline W @Popyj Jan 31 Cringey, racists and depressing. Can't understand why it's revered. Literally every episode is offensive towards Asians. Particularly the fake stereotypical "Japanese" accent. Could not enjoy the grating of how badly the acting is. It's basically blackface. See more Laura R @RT75571826 Oct 3 It is perfect. One of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen. Shun’s scene seeing his family was just phenomenal. An extremely rare gem. I hope he writes again. See more L S. @Leelee Jul 15 A beautiful, realistic depiction of depression, creativity and family dysfunction. A true work of art. hoping there are more. See more Nel M @RT92397128 05/28/2025 This is the realest, most relatable portrayal of how depression is huge, dark, heavy and infectious. How it affects generations. I’d warn anyone from a creative, neurodiverse family with a patriarch figure suffering depression to make sure you’re in a good place before watching. See more 01/27/2022 Bizarre, Hilarious, Sad, and Dramatic all at one time. you are not totally sure what is happening or if any of what is going on in this show is normal but you keep wanting more! I Laughed really hard and also felt this deep unmatched sadness when watching this show! You are not sure to turn it off or to just keep your eyes glued. since I watched it all must mean its worth watching! Olivia Colman!!! See more Read all reviews
