Created and hosted by florist Maurice Harris, this very short, 8 minute episode, series has Harris sit down with celebrity guests as they open up about their lives and give inspiration for a centerpiece finale, created by Harris himself and presented to the guests. I've now gone through multiple lists of "best roku / quibi" shows and this series seems consistently missed, and man, is that a shame, its so good. His questions (while few) are thoughtful, he honestly seems to care about each guest, making them the centerpiece truly, and then ending each on an absolutely gorgeous display of flowers unique to each episode. The amount of effort that went into each 8 minute episode is astounding. The editing and aesthetics were of course on point, and the guests themselves were very well chosen. Would highly recommend, I want more, someone give Maurice Harris another show asap.

Beautiful stories, quirky - I'm going to miss this show

Centerpiece is a special show. It combines quirky elements with powerful stories and a beautiful, nostalgic aesthetic. The guests are amazing black artists, and there's a lot of interesting discussion about their personal experiences and creative growth. I can't think of another show quite like it.
I love this show!

It's simple, not over scripted just genuine, that's my favorite thing about it. The only addition I would do is just little more lengthy interviews, they start off great but are very quick and while I know the point of the quick sit down I feel like it could be extended a little more in a way that still portrays the overall vibe of the show. I adore the whole surprise party of the centerpieces created in coordination with Maurice interpretation of the guests he has on. I need more seasons of this show, and if a network doesn't keep it going, he should make it a YouTube show for sure.
