Les Fleurs sauvages

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
