After a whirlwind romance, Olivia finds herself as the mistress of the imposing Foxworth Hall, where she soon discovers that the fairy tale life she expected has quickly become a nightmare.
**Not since Texas Chainsaw have I been so disturbed.**
It's a nightmarish glimpse into what life was like for women in the early 1900s. Jemima Rooper's performance connects you to fear. “It was 1919 a time when husbands could legally do as they wished with their wives' bodies." I watch horror movies all the time and have never been so scared for the victim. Max Irons is scary as Malcolm Foxworth, a dressed-to-kill predator capable of creepily deluding his victim into a false sense of security. The talented ensemble created a jaw-dropping atmosphere that feels scary and mysterious. After watching this first episode, I'm not sure how to feel about future Olivia and what she eventually will do to her grandchildren. What she did was unforgivable, but will I be more empathetic towards who she will become? Flowers In The Attic: Origins is a well-told story that only requires you to sit back and listen.
As always, if you made it this far, thanks for reading, and if you watch this series, let me know what you think.

Watching this first episode, I have learned that people who are hurt will hurt people, making it a vicious circle with this family.
