A young girl is terrified by her abusive father, so she takes fatal action. As a result, she’s moved to live with her estranged grandmother (Sigourney Weaver), who runs a flower farm and uses the plants to send messages of encouragement and hope. This is obviously taken from a novel, because there’s lots of expressive imagery and lingering looks. The pacing reads slowly as the mild surprises are meted out, one per episode. Weaver strains and struggles, as does the rest of the cast with the melodrama that’s trapped their characters. While there is some beauty and occasional emotion, the self-reflective nature on top of the statements about abuse and empowerment make it wilt more than blossom.
