Very Impressive !
We just 'binged' the first three episodes and honestly can't wait for next week's instalment. Great story with lots of interesting twists. Our fingers are crossed that the same high standard is maintained right through the 7 episodes. Very impressive so far.
Alyla Browne does a magnificent job of playing the part of a young Alice Hart. A great talent at such a young age. I'm certain we will see a lot more of her into the future.
The senior actors set a standard that would make any director proud and collectively raise the bar for all Aussie productions into the future.
The scenery is beautiful and the cinematography is as good as it gets.
Well done everyone, you have a lot to be proud of.

Slow burner that hooks you in with Sigourney Weaver leading the way.
This is an excellent series. Some may find it slow moving, but I think the pacing was just right. Sigourney Weaver is, in many ways, odd casting, yet she is the best thing about it. In all logic, the part should have gone to an Australian actress - after all, June is supposed to be an Australian matriarch. The wonderful Judy Davis comes to mind, and I'm sure she would have done a wonderful job, Yet Weaver is exceptional, even if her accent is unclear. The rest of the cast is also excellent, Alice young and old and especially Twig. And it is a great story, one that delivers a series of surprises and twists but is always true to itself. Well worth watching and one of the best series ever made in Australia.

Aussies showing up and showing out.
Usually i'll wait until the end of a season or a show before I write a review but I decided to go ahead and write one about this and I will adjust as needed. This was a very strong start with the first three episodes! Doesn't take long before they pull you in that's for sure. I am very ready for all of the secrets to be revealed... I have a sneaky suspicion we are in for a lot. I'm enjoying the characters so far and I have no doubt they will flesh them out and we will see more of the past and into the future. I don't pretend to know if this will be an ongoing thing or just a limited series. If it's going to be something that continues for another season, I already think they will need to pick up the pace a little bit. Not that I'm not completely involved and I will certainly watch each episode as it comes out but they are dragging a little bit. That's the reason I didn't give 10 stars I believe there were a few things they could have pushed forward a little faster. But I'm not mad at it at all! Or bored. Great characters really good actors I'm excited to see where it goes. Oh, and I am loving Oggi and hope he's in for the entirety. We haven't seen a whole lot of him but everything I've seen of him I love!

Wow! One of the best series I've watched in years.
This series has me crying like a baby for almost every episode, but honestly, it's a really good cry. So beautifully acted and the cinematography is stunning.
Life is messy. People are messy and flawed and this series hits on life and people in a way that not many can. Yes it does center around some things that some people don't want to acknowledge but, this is a part of many peoples lives.
If anyone has ever experienced abuse before, especially as a child you will find a little bit of your story in this series. I don't find it to be bad or "triggering" though. It's done so realistically & beautifully that it really kind of reaches out to that inner child inside of you and really just makes you feel a kinship with the characters. At least it does for me. I absolutely love this series.
It's tragic and beautiful at the same time, a lot like life is.

Have Patience; This One Grows With and Within You
Despite oddly choppy accents and some slower moments than a slow-burning story needs, this is a wonder. It is a story that should be seen and heard. If you haven't know violence, it is crucial; if you have, it is utterly respectful, familiar, perhaps healing.
What the slow burning plot does well is the inching towards reveals and epiphanies that happen as patiently crafted as the scenes surrounding them. No tricks of twists, no Hollywood quick turns.
The journey all these characters take, especially Alice, happens as life happens. One moment at a time.
Characters are complex and dynamic in rare realness; you'll find no heroes where it seems you will and no pure villains.
Flowers grow slowly from seed yet bloom quickly, like this beautiful piece of acting, courage, and community.

Intriguing Blend of Mystery and Emotion
Sigourney Weaver was able to display a vulnerable and empathetic June Hart, while at the same time giving off some serious Olivia Foxworth vibes with her commanding presence. Alyla Browne's performance breathes life into young Alice, amidst an enchanting backdrop. Director Glendyn Ivin masterfully unveils a tapestry of fantasy and farm life. Subtle dialogues and concealed emotions raise questions, adding layers of intrigue. A talented ensemble, led by Sigourney Weaver, crafts exciting, mysterious characters.
I can't wait to make my way back to Thornfield. There's so much to uncover about each character's history, and I'm eager to see how they all develop throughout the series.

Long live the flowers!
I loved the series, it filled me with different emotions, good and bad, and also it filled me with an unexpected tranquility within the storm of emotions. Finally a story we can all learn from!
It is a drama, with tense and exciting moments that take you to the end of the story quite quickly, I was not bored at any time.
It also has very unexpected and epic moments.
All the actors are very good, and I've always loved S. Weaver. In this series she is wonderful, realistic, stupendous, magnificent, everything one asks for from a good actor, here you have it!
The series maintains the emotion and tension until the very end, I was sorry that it ended, that's the truth. Everything makes sense from beginning to end and the way of life of these women is something that touches my soul. The photography, the stories and meanings of the flowers, simply fascinating. Australia and its wonderful landscapes! And the fantastic houses! Wow!
The theme of the series is very important and treated with a lot of energy and respect. Best thing I've seen on the subject of abused women so far.
If you only like action series, without a theme, don't watch this one.
You see, my enthusiasm is endless. I recommend it without a doubt.

Better than the Book
The show is better than the book. That's something I say rarely, but it's my honest opinion. The beginning of both book and show are breathtaking, but fall apart mid way through. After fumbling a time-jump so badly it nearly lead me to quit watching, the show writers take the pig's ear that is the 2nd half of the novel and make it look like a silk purse.
While the show's transition from young child to young adult Alice isn't particularly well done, it's far better than the book's. After the abrupt book transition to Alice as a young woman the story goes to pieces. I understand that both show and book are character-driven (if you're looking for a fast-moving suspense or action drama, don't bother with this show) but in the book the characters stop developing in any way after the time jump. The show stumbles for an episode or so then picks up the threads the book author dropped and do their best to weave both the character and plot arcs into a coherent and compelling narrative.
The soundtrack is fantastic if you like otherworldly modern indie music. The acting and scenery are very good. If you enjoy a bleak, slow-burning character study that blossoms in sparse sunlight, then this Australian drama is worth a look.

Incredible
A little slow in a few places, which gets an 8 from me, but one can almost overlook that when the good stuff starts happening.
A word of warning. There are 7 episodes. As of tonight August 25, only 6 have played on Amazon Prime. Prime doesn't tell you there are 7.. If you haven't started yet I suggest you wait until the 31st and binge all 7 because number 6 is a real cliffhanger.
I was looking for something that wasn't cookie cutter detective mysteries and was hooked by Prime's description: "After losing her parents to a mysterious fire, nine-year-old Alice Hart is raised by her grandmother June on a flower farm where she learns there are secrets within secrets. But years on, an unearthed betrayal sees Alice forced to face her past."
Sounded like one of those gothic mysteries in the tradition of Du Maurier's Rebecca and Bronte's Jane Eyre. Well, it sorta is, but with modern issues.
The acting is great, the cast superb, the scenery gorgeous, and the story line disturbing, but necessary.
Sigourney Weaver plays against type in her character June Hart, a manipulative, controlling matriarch, who unsympathetically tries to hold her "family" together, often to their detriment.
I'm writing generalities. Others have been more specific.
See it.

Beautiful but slow
The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart was an international best seller that has been made into a 7 part mini series, me thinks possibly about 5 episodes too many
The acting is top notch, and the scenery is stunning, but there are way too many moody shots, pauses, musical interludes, knowing looks between people, all those little elements that essentially pad out a series needlessly
Sigourney Weaver is great, as expected, Asher Keddie surprisingly good in a dramatic role, Leah Purcell brilliant, and the great delight is young Alyla Browne
Overwhelmingly my accolades go to the set hairdresser: there are some seriously stunning coiffures on this show.

It draws one in.
The strength is the acting of Sigourney Weaver as June, the head of Thornfield. Her transformation from Episode 1 to Episode 7 is truly amazing. She runs Thornfield, and it is a haven for abused women, yet misunderstood by the locals. It is a flower heaven, and in it the flowers tell a story. They are one with nature. Clem is June's son, and he married Agnes, and Alice is their daughter. After a fire, Alice comes to live at Thornfield. But June knows some terrible secrets, yet keeps them from Alice which does not serve either of them well. Alice leaves and cuts off all contact. Yet, the loss of Alice leaves a hole in the heart of June, and her stubbornness eats away at her. Episode 7 is very powerful, and ties a lot of loose ends and some of those loose ends make some of what happened earlier even more potent. Alice thinks she has found happiness far away, but that is only a mirage and she finds out how powerless she really is. There is a lot of complexity in the whole series, and in many ways that is good, as those problems may be solved in one TV episode, but in real life rarely wrapped up neatly. And both the flowers at Thornfield and the scenery throughout the episodes are truly wonderful.
so many bad men
Alice Hart and her mother are being abused by her father. She sets her house on fire after reading about the phoenix. Her estranged grandmother June Hart (Sigourney Weaver) takes over guardianship and brings her home. She operates a flower farm to shelter abused women she rescued. They develop a language of their own based on the flowers. It's 14 years later and Alice (Alycia Debnam-Carey) runs away.
It's a seven episode miniseries. The first three episodes are with the kid Alice. The last four episodes have the older Alice. The show probably functions better if it's split into two seasons. There is enough to expand the material. The ratio of bad men to good men gets rather high. Sure, that's the point of the premise, but there seems to be some kind of special magnet operating here. This does have the great Sigourney Weaver and Alycia is pretty good as a damaged soul.

Ugh. Wonderful start, then utter collapse
This show has been so frustrating.
I jumped in and really enjoyed the start. I mean, the first 3 eps were A+. Intriguing, unusual, great performances, tight scripting. Young Alice was astonishing. She reminded me of the Judith character and young actress from ThevWalking Dead series. The next 3 eps, however, were dreadful. Warranting an F grade. Characters betrayed by story, maudlin, repetitive loops in each ep, story stagnated, didn't move forward, became typical and uninteresting. So, great takeoff, then a crash landing. So disappointing. I'm not even looking forward to the ending. Still, must give credit to an unusual Sigourney role and she was great. I saw this right after binging Black Snow, an incredible and triumphant Australian series with a similar feel but with a very different story and fantastic execution. Just my humble opinion.

Flowers Secret Language
Enthralled from get go, plus love Sigourney. Pain and recovery always make the best stories, with a romance interwoven. Hated to see to the end...look forward to next episodes. The growth and progress of Alice are beautiful defined, and this part of Australia I never ventured into on my one month visit there. The heart-rending abuse is tastefully written and acted. I especially enjoyed the idea of the farm being a safe place for misfits of a special genre, like me. I want to sometimes rage against God for their (my) plight, yet know the only way is through. I researched the author and plan to read her other book.

Stunning show
This powerful show is stunning. Both landscape and characters, are filled with beauty, strength and grit. Characters all so fabulously complex (like all proper humans are), and you really feel each one of them carries a bristly & mysterious backstory that informs their behaviours and reactions. Particularly to each other - and boy - don't you want to find out what those stories are. The music and photography are magnificent. Sigourney Weaver heads a faultless cast. Such great writing from Sarah Lambert. Beautiful sets, art & sound design. Brings Holly Ringlands book to life with passion, fire, and power. 2 eps in, and I can't wait for the rest.

So impressed, best show of 2023 for me
Now that I have watched 6 of the series' 7 eps and I am so impressed. I started to watch the Lost flowers of Alice Hart because of Sigourney Weaver. She is such a formidable actress and her in the main role and producing the series is a quality sign.
What made me continue to watch is the excellent way the series transports you to another world and culture, a feeling like getting enthralled by a great book. The production value, the script, the actors - everything is perfect and couldn't be better. The direction, camera, music, everything together creates this masterpiece, where each part contributes to a wonderful and very fulfilling work of art. I watch a lot of films and series and this series has left such a deep impression on me - do yourself a favor and get swept away by the lost flowers of Alice Hart like I did.

It's decent
The pacing is reallllllly slow. There is a good bit of domesric violence that might be upsetting. The grandma is intentionally lying which I'm sure is to keep a mystery in the story but it is exceedingly frustrating and she does things that really dont make a lot of sense, even to drive the plot. I'm still watching to see what happens. The little girl is a good actress. It don't find the lighting too dark (that is corrected by tour tv settings!) Someone needs to tell Signourney Weaver to either use an Accent coach or just stop trying to speak with an Australian accent because she will drop it in the middle of a sentence. I thought her character was an American who picked up a bit after living in Australia a while but then she says her family has been there for generations.

Last episode had me sobbing
I had originally rated this an 8 and went back and changed it to a 10 at the end. The show was beautifully written, wonderfully acted, and well produced. There are definitely some tough subjects to deal with, so people that a lot of trauma or who've experienced domestic violence in their life, may have a difficult time with this watch. But it's honestly so worth it, that needs to be told since so many women deal with this during their lifetime. The show unfolds mysteriously, keeping you wanting more each week, and It's a tearjerker for sure, so that's not your cup of tea I wouldn't recommend. But if that doesn't scare you, this is a must watch.
Atmospheric, but shallow
Before I review, I need to provide some context, since I will be going against general perception of the series. I am a man, but I come from abusive family: mother abused me mentally and physically, while father abused me only mentally (with physical abuse delegated to mother). It took me years to even realize that I was living in an abusive family (and society), let alone try escape it. I know first hand how important the topic of domestic abuse is and how difficult it can be for the victims to come forward.
Now for the actual review.
As you may know from series description or from the paragraph above, domestic abuse is THE main topic of the series. The way it is being depicted here is quite atmospheric. The respective scenes may not be the most gut-wrenching I've seen on TV or in movies, but they can make you uncomfortable, and since that's the whole point of them, it means, that creators succeeded in the task.
The quality of the atmosphere does not stay only with the domestic violence, though, it spreads to other aspects of the series. The (somewhat) slow pacing throughout the series, the camera work, the lighting (and its contrasts) - all work toward creating an atmosphere of gloom and mystery. But if you stop for a second to think about things happening on screen... It kind of falls apart.
Now, I came into the show hoping that there will actually be some magic. The description and the trailer (and the whole 1st episode) wrapped things in such a way, that something magical or paranormal has happened, and there is this "antient secret" lurking on that farm or something like that. I was totally fine, when I realized, that it is not the case, it could still be a good psychological story, right? Well, not really.
The story is actually quite shallow in that regard. The domestic abuse episodes, while having a logical background, do not go deep enough. They cover everything with cliches like "women hide the facts of abuse", "women continue to endure", etc. The scenes that deliver these cliches are "just there". They do not even try to explain WHY these things happen. There is no thought process behind the women's decisions, like "If I tell on him, he might kill me for real". And don't get me started with the obvious message of "only men are abusers".
Interestingly most problems described in the series are caused... By people not using their mouths properly. And I am not talking only about lying, but also about generally not talking (besides cases when loss of voice is caused by trauma). That and not working through your trauma.
I get it, this happens a lot in real life, sadly. But I would expect a series very focused on this problem to send a message through its narrative, that it's not a good idea, and that if you do talk, it can help you grow, and can help you find help, and happiness... And that it may also be talking about acceptance and maybe level of forgiveness (not of the abusers), but the show does not do that.
In the end, the whole series is about not sharing important information for no real reason, about not talking things through, about making your own past literally destroy lives of other people, because you won't talk about it, and won't listen to what others are saying... And the moral? Don't really do anything, you will still get a farm and "a sacred mission to help others get their voices". Like, really, the ending is soooo forced, and feels worse than endings of the worst Disney movies or shows of the past years. Yes, including super-hero movies and shows, where you can expect such an ending.
Good intriguing start, great atmosphere, but extremely underdelivered narrative, done not so much to actually explore the theme and potentially help people, but to show that the creators of the show "care" about the topic, while actually aiming for the money and nothing else.

At times heart wrenching, but beautiful and mysterious
The scenery is NOT dark and dim. Someone's TV settings need adjusting. No, this was never meant to be a plot driven "action" movie so if that's want you want, skip watching it. Otherwise if a mystery down under interests you, watch this series. It's beautifully filmed. The acting is top notch. Most people who aren't Aussies won't notice Sigourney's wavering accent.
I will admit that episodes 1-3 out the 4 available at the moment were more interesting. The actress who plays young Alice is appealing and believable. Kudos to Alyla! I am unable, however to warm to the older Alice at this point and I hope that changes. All the flower designs and flowers themselves are beautiful. As wells as the beach scenes.

A great series!!
So great to see all the Australian actors from awhile ago as well. Their facial expressions - their acting - their general demeanours. Wow. Am so impressed!!!
So so so well acted. A credit to Australia. Better acted than most international imports. Want to see more of them!!!!
To be honest, the inclusion of Sigourney Weaver, no offence, was totally unnecessary.
The winning combination of "loss, love, and redemption" is beautifully shown here. It spanned two decades, the series follows Alice's unforgettable journey, as her love for books, shows her that the most powerful story she will ever know is her own.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'm sure it will appeal to young and older as well.
And NOT SLOW AT ALL!!!! You just need to be appreciative of good direction, production, music, acting and overall cinematic experience.
So rare. So beautiful. 💜
