Flaked is an American comedy drama television series created by Will Arnett and Mark Chappell. It stars Arnett as Chip, a self-appointed "guru" who falls in love while he and many other members of the ensemble cast struggle with alcoholism and Alcoholics Anonymous. The first season consisted of eight episodes and was released on Netflix on March 11, 2016. In July 2016, the series was renewed for a six-episode second season, which premiered on June 2, 2017.
The show is in-part inspired by Arnett's own struggles with alcoholism. He relapsed while Flaked was in production, and has attested that Alcoholics Anonymous has played a role in reclaiming sobriety.
The first season received poor reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, the season has an approval rating of 35% based on 31 reviews, with an average rating of 5.12/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "Dull and pointless, Flaked makes it uncomfortably clear that the man-child persona is no longer compelling." On Metacritic, the season has a weighted average score of 43 out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".
The show was criticized by Emily VanDerWerff of Vox for "stupid plot twists" and devolving into melodrama.
