Full Bloom
What's the Story?
On FULL BLOOM, 10 budding professional florists compete for a grand prize of $100,000. In each episode, the florists compete in an individual competition that highlights a specific flower or structure. The top two in that competition become team leaders, and their teams go head-to-head on a large-scale challenge. The judges then decide on one member of the losing team to send home, and then donate the beautiful floral creations to non-profit organizations that will appreciate them.
Is It Any Good?
Thanks to the popularity of programs like The Great British Baking Show, reality competition shows have trended away from high drama and toward simple craftsmanship. Full Bloom is exciting because it features an art that doesn't get a lot of attention, but looks stunning on camera. No matter how good food looks on cooking shows, for instance, viewers can never fully appreciate chefs' work because they can't immediately taste it. But here, you can appreciate flowers and botanical arrangements as they're meant to be seen. Full Bloom lets the florists' personalities emerge through their work and processes, and their unique personalities do end up ultimately shining through. The result is a compelling look at a unique vocation that also manages to delight and entertain.
