This is a nice Flowers review. I still haven’t watched it.

I get emails letting me know what’s coming to Netflix each month, and yesterday’s email had a link to an article about Flowers. Since it isn’t new to Netflix here in Canada, I’m wondering if that article is meant for countries where Netflix is now going to show it for the first time. It seems odd for them to be pushing a series that they’ve already been showing here.

I have noticed that sometimes shows or movies disappear during a short period of time and then they announce them as something new coming to the streaming service. A few times I am surprised by they announcing something that I recently watched there!
I doubt they would announce something from another country in Canada but I’m certainly will be alert here!

This made me laugh!
But still, good publicity for the film! 😉
I just watched the second episode and I’m actually thinking the characters are slightly more sympathetic than the first season. I mean they are still mostly horrible people but nothing is so morally bankrupt like the teenagers from the early season! Lol Those two girls were monsters! I think Mike White REALLY hates young privileged woke Gen Z girls! Like he REALLY HATES them!
I actually think that Jennifer Coolidge is probably the nastier character now when despise her flaws, she was one of the most sympathetic last season. Probably because she was very pathetic but now she is still very pathetic but also more openly abusing to people working for her when in the first one, her shallowness towards others was slowly revealed. The Will Sharpe’s character friend isn’t very sympathetic neither, Michael Imperioli’s father is extremely amoral and Audrey Plaza’s character isn’t very nice neither (another nasty frivolous “progressive” like the girls but still not so bad like them. She clearly has a lot of insecurities and self-doubt when the girls were just nasty bitches!) but I think they are far away of the horrible people in the first excellent season. I mean the two young Americans are actually very cute and innocent! At least until now, they are extremely nice kids! It’s more a classical narrative with young people being innocent and the old ones corrupted when again, young people last season, with the exception of the boy(s)humiliated and/or destroyed by a “female centric Western culture”, were the worst!
Also the “easy” girl and her slightly but not too much more innocent girlfriend remind me to the characters of Rebecca Zlotowski‘s An Easy Girl.

Apparently there are some jokes in the new episode at the expense of the this time "nice" kids generation! Lol
I agreed that Mike White has always being great with satires about everything and everyone. He isn't about black and whites and that complexity was what made the first season great.

The disrespect!
Theo James is repulsive. I hope the bodies aren't the girls'. As always I'm expecting the worst from Tom Hollander.

I'm not sure that person even watches the show. Maybe they've got it mixed up with another series they are watching?
Because their impression of the characters is nothing like what I've seen so far (and we've watched right up to the current episode!).
I think season 2 is even better than the first season (which I thought the first episode was a bit weak but picked up remarkably strong after that).
I like that the show has continued with the intense and TENSE atmosphere of the first but doesn't feel like a retread if season one. All the cast is top drawer. It's a lovely anchor to have continued a couple from the first season but put an entirely different spin on their relationship.
Hard to believe that Jennifer Coolidge is the same actor I saw all those years ago in an episode of Fraiser! And Theo James was Mr. Pamuk from Downton Abbey! Great casting!
Can't wait to see what happens!!
