_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.[1][2] The first season consisted of eight
episodes and was released on Netflix on March 11, 2016.[3] In July 2016, the
series was renewed for a six-episode second season,[4] which premiered on June
2, 2017.[5]
The show is in-part inspired by Arnett's own struggles with alcoholism. He
relapsed while _Flaked_ was in production,[6] and has attested that Alcoholics
Anonymous has played a role in reclaiming sobriety.[7]

** Reception
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."[11] On Metacritic, the season has a weighted average score of 43
out of 100, based on 16 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[12]
The show was criticized by Emily VanDerWerff of _Vox_ for "stupid plot twists"
and devolving into melodrama.<ref name=vox>[url=
