Season 1 Review:
When the plot finally kicks in in the back half of the season, the unexpected shift in tone is intended to show how Chip’s apparently pointless life is the result of outside forces, but the series of twists (one clumsily telegraphed, the other a bit less so) don’t so much fill out the character as underscore how thin he was in the first place.

Season 1 Review:
Quality-wise, Flaked slots right in the middle of the pack. It is not as original, lacerating, or self-aware as Louie and Girls, the progenitors of this trend, or as good as Transparent, the perfector of it, but it contains a deep and precise character sketch.... Flaked is irritating exactly to the extent that it takes Chip’s plight too seriously.

Season 1 Review:
[Netflix's Love] at least felt fresh and directed in the way it surgically examined the tropes of the romantic comedy. It was a character study that had a purpose, explaining through its run why we were watching these characters to begin with. Flaked never answers that question.

Season 1 Review:
There are a couple of love triangles at work, but the characters have been written only in terms of metaphor and irony, so nobody has any chemistry, which is probably also an irony, though it's less likely to be intentional. Or maybe it is intentional? Flaked feels primarily like a writing exercise for Arnett and Chappell.

Season 1 Review:
The premium TV world is a magnet for vanity projects, but few are as pointless--or unnecessary--as this one.... Flaked is such a flavorless affair that there’s scant suspense about the ongoing story, leaving little over which to get excited other than a series of guest-star-punctuated interludes.
