The farthest a flow basic will go is show you which packets are coming into and which are leaving your firewall (and what is done to them in between)

If you set your filters properly you should see both directions of the flow so if communication is functioning properly, you sill see client to server and server to client packets coming in and going out

but if you don't see server to client packets, and you're sure your c2s are leaving the firewall, you'll need good oldfashioned troubleshooting skills to find where packets may be getting dropped or misdirected
