There are parts I liked, and parts that made NO sense from a character perspective (as in, “why is this character okay with this super weird and creepy development that just happened? Wouldn’t a reasonable person run like hell?” but also sorry, I don’t believe in the 4th quarter arc of the main character). Now, I’m not even going to review the plot. This miniseries takes two prequel books and turns it into one continuous story. The story is a prequel to the famous book Flowers in the Attic, which has been adapted twice I believe. I’m not sure what exactly got me to watch this, except hey, I like trash! Color me shocked to discover some quality costume designs, from both a historical and character perspective. If you were like me, you read many of them before you realized they were awful - depressing stories about abused girls in LUDICROUS plots. Andrews wrote a ton of super trashy, usually incest-focused young adult novels written in the 1970s-80s. Flowers in the Attic: The Origin (2022) has surprisingly great costumes! No, not surprising because of talented costume designer Nic Ede, but because this is a V.C.
