The Big Flower Fight - Season 1

The challenges are so overwrought and specific they deny the contestants the chance to do what is most satisfying, for them and us: make something truly inventive from a simple prompt

Look, if giant flower installations are your dream - have at it. I hope there are many more of you out there than I ever suspected, and that all the gerberas made into butterfly wings did not suffer in vain. But it smells off to me.

With a premise this absurdly delightful and so well calibrated to viewers who are looking to decompress, hopefully The Big Flower Fight will get a few more bingeable seasons.

SKIP IT, unless you have a serious itch for some foliage-porn.

What We Do in the Shadows star Demetriou is quietly hilarious, wording her queries and commentary in a perfectly slanted style, as when she asks one guest judge, "What do your eyeballs dream of seeing when they finish the challenge?"

The lights in the greenhouse are dimmed and the creations take centre stage, in a room filled with ambience, smoke and dramatic camera work. It really is awesome, in the truest sense of the fashion.

The Big Flower Fight is the latest entry in Netflix's attempt to wow the world with mediocre versions of popular reality TV shows
