It apparently involved a stern religious grandmother who locks her grandchildren in the attic. There is incest and rape in that drama. This shows how the grandma got to that point. Both are based on novels. &#8220;Flowers in the Attic&#8221; came out in 1979 from the pen of V.C. Andrews. She wrote many sequels, but only the first book was filmed (twice). This new miniseries is based on \u201cGarden of Shadows\u201d by Andrew Neiderman, who is now taking over V.C. Andrews&#8217; characters.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve only seen the first part so far, but I enjoyed it. I&#8217;m not a big fan of prequels because we know how the characters are going to end up (and it&#8217;s usually not good). There are many great actors in this. Most of them, such as Kelsey Grammar and Harry Hamlin, play small parts and aren&#8217;t on screen very long. Kate Mulgrew (&#8220;Star Trek: Prodigy&#8221;) and Paul Wesley (&#8220;Star Trek: Strange New Worlds&#8221;) also play small roles. I wasn&#8217;t familiar with any of the main stars of the miniseries, but Max Irons, who plays the husband, is the son of Jeremy Irons. He does a good job.<\/p>\n<p>The main star of the show is Jemima Rooper, who plays Olivia (the aforementioned Grandma). She is excellent as the woman who starts out as the bookish maiden but becomes first a victim of horrible circumstances and then gets steely and strong (but ultimately, not very nice, I&#8217;m afraid).<\/p>\n<p>You should check it out whether or not you like the &#8220;Flowers in the Attic&#8221; books or movies as it&#8217;s compelling drama (if a bit lurid at times).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2022\/07\/09\/flowers\/\">Interview with Jemima Rooper, Max Irons, T\u2019Shan Williams, Alana Boden and Paul Sciarrotta of \u201cFlowers in the Attic: The Origin\u201d on Lifetime<\/a> 6\/22\/22<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<div id=\"text-component-item-e93b8e32-ffc4-11ec-ab10-2f7cff33aeb2\" class=\"text-component-item body-copy sanitize-html\" role=\"region\">\n<p><strong><em>Flowers in the Attic: The Origin<\/em><\/strong><strong><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>tells the story of the headstrong and determined Olivia Winfield (Rooper) who is working alongside her beloved father (Hamlin) when she finds herself unexpectedly wooed by one of the nation\u2019s most eligible bachelors, Malcom Foxworth (Irons).
