I found the early episodes of Flowers to be some of the most interesting and innovative drama and comedy I had seen in years. Olivia Colman and Julian Barratt are exceptional as you'd expect and the writing is sharp and original. Unfortunately, the story just became a complete mess as the show progressed, turning into a confused jumble of bizarre scenes and incoherent plot developments. I'm not sure what went wrong but I found it genuinely difficult to endure the second season.
