Flaked is to be commended for really capturing its setting, shooting very clearly on location and focusing on the issues facing this community right now. Read full review

If you’re willing to go along with the show’s carefully conceived aimlessness, it has the pull of a book of inter-connected short stories. Read full 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. Read full review

Flaked offers up weak jokes and even weaker drama, as later episodes pile on contrived, overwrought plot twists. Read full 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. Read full review

It's a leaden, soggy mess, that only gets messier as it goes. Read full 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.

I dont know what all the hate is about. I absolutely enjoyed the series and watched it all in one sitting. I would even watch it again. Great show with an interesting premise.

Not as pointless as anyone here will say, better than anyone here will give it credit for. Don't listen to the reviews, this show is definitely worth watching.

Why all the hate? Flaked is a nice little piece on all the messy aspects of life as a man-child. Not everything on TV has to be revolutionary or ground-breaking. The show had some truly tangible moments of despair and aimlessness. Being 40 something and single in LA is probably a lot likeWhy all the hate?

Bad enough of a show, made worse by knowledge that Will Arnett has relapsed because of it. I hope with every fiber of my being that he comes to his senses and drops this. If not, I hope Netflix cancels it.

The wrost dramedy i have ever seen. The plot is ridicolous with useless a plot twist, the acting is awful too ( in particular the girl who plays London and that Travis Mills guy).

The plot is ridicolous with useless a plot twist, the acting is awful too ( in particular the girl who plays London and that Travis Mills guy). Its not a suprise that this show has been the wrost rated netflix original series, even Fuller house has a better rating from users! and the funny thing is that the actress who plays London and Arnett have said that has been a "success". Where? In many countries flopped, and i've read countless articles about how bad this show is. At the beginning i didn't want to believe the critic, but after watching the whole season i had to agree. After love, master of none, House of Cards and now The Ranch i cant believe that this show stand in the "Netflix original series". Its an insult to women, real recover alcholist and even venice beach ( the fact that there's just one black guy is ridicolous). its a show that just Will Arnett's fan can enjoy, 'cause if you have watched a real Dramedy you would laugh at this show too.… Expand

Its like watching a bad version of Mean Girls, Will Arnett still thinks that hes a great actor, but the funny thing its that the only ones who think it are his fans. If Netflix renewed such a show i quit with them. The way the show portrait women is horrible. Please Netflix dont follow this path.… Expand
