Is how I think of this series. It was actually very engaging and mostly well written. Does anyone know why they chose to only do one season?
shareFlowers in the Attic? Anyone who can compare a Lifetime channel piece of s^it movie to F&B probably should not be watching this artistically complex creation. It's out of your league.
Black Swan? You must be obtusely referring to the simple fact that both movies are about ballerinas.
You may want to check out "The Real Housewives of Anywhere".

I actually prefer the Real Husbands of Hollywood but thanks!
Also, just a little bit of information FiA was a book decades before it was made into a movie. And you obviously didn't watch Black Swan.
It's nice to know that Lifetime cam up with Flowers in the Attic on its own and not VC Andrews decades earlier.

that is a very relevant reply.

It's on television, of course it didn't exist prior to that!

Maybe you should read the book instead of thinking you know the story simply because you saw a movie that was haphazard and rushed. This show while great, is not a masterpiece it's full of cliches and over used themes. The dancing was mesmerizing but the actual plot, not so much.
shareAnd I'm sure you represent the consensus.

Not at all, you obviously have a different opinion and that's totally fine. I don't take things personally nor do I insult others whose opinions differ from mine. Have a great day.
shareI agree. I greatly enjoy participating on a message board where everyone can exchange different points of view. Others will see things from a different perspective, which its always interesting. It's peculiar when the people that look down on certain shows (Real Housewives of blank) are the ones that act like those starring in them.
shareI love reading all the different opinions, sometimes you can learn so much from the opposite view point that while it may not change your mind it can enhance your own thoughts. Thank you for this response.
shareYes, the book is (of course) wayyyyy more detailed and complex and intriguing than either or the "Flowers in the Attic" movies.
The OP was referring to the incestuous relationship from the book and the ballet in Black Swan. The book did contain ballet, but it didn't focus on that so much as the relationships within the family
Yes, exactly what I meant! I was very disappointed when the movie came out (and the subsequent ones) because I felt that they strayed too far from the complexities in the novel and instead created a caricature of each character. In the books they were more nuanced and real.
shareMaybe the poster was referring to the novel, Flowers in the Attic, not the crappy Lifetime interpretation of it. This show, IMO, did give a few nods to the Flowers story line. My daughter said the same thing.
