The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart (TV Series) Part 4: River Lily (2023) User Reviews

An anoying episode

[ikanboy · 6/10 · 11 August 2023]

It feels like they jumped an episode and landed us 15 years in the future without any explanations. The explanations eventually come out in a dribble of information, which doesn't really explain much. Adult Alice leaves, angry at June, and eventually we find out why. Then we see an Alice that isn't particularly nice and almost as controlling and with a personality disorder similar to her father and grandmother.

Clem's son Charlie has apparently been adopted by the woman who fought for Alice, but June treats him with indifference. Is this show all about how personality disorders get passed down through the generations? Tune in!

This is a dark show

Alice appears to be cursed. She was born into chaos and her horrible grandmother is determined to keep her there.

This was one of the hardest episodes of this series I have watched and to be honest I don't know if I could watch anymore.

Alice cannot catch a break. Everything in her life has been taken from her - her parents, her brother and the love of her life.

I feel like the Oggi situation was hard to watch and accept. Out of all the men in the world, I would have thought June would accept him. But clearly she had other ideas.

To be honest, I think June is far more sinister than Clem ever was. The apple clearly didn't fall far from the tree.

June's form of abuse is psychological and it really shows in episode 4. She seems to really hate men for whatever reason or she simply uses men as an excuse for her cruel actions and unusual behaviour.

I am not sure if I can continue with this show if there isn't even a glimmer of happiness for Alice in the end.
