"Arrested Development" alum Will Arnett stars as Chip, a resident of the insular world of Venice Beach, California. Chip presents himself to the world as the go-to guy for personal insights, but secretly he is a recovering alcoholic who struggles with his own baggage, and has a difficult time keeping track of his own deceptions. When a new waitress named London starts working at a local eatery, Chip and his best friend, Dennis, both fall for her. As Chip's tangled web of half-truths starts to unravel, his all-important image -- and sobriety -- are put at risk.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dull and pointless, Flaked makes it uncomfortably clear that the man-child persona is no longer compelling.

I don't want this guy to win. I don't want him to have a victory. He deserves what he gets. And I don't want to watch that. Go to Full Review Inkoo Kang MTV 04/12/2016
The end result isn't entirely insufferable - but it's pretty close to it. Go to Full Review Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times 03/14/2016
Flaked... is just another exasperating exploration of stunted white male adulthood. Go to Full Review Randy Dankievitch TV Over Mind 02/11/2020
2.5/5
[I]t weaves and zags without much reason except to keep itself upright, without a lot of support elsewhere to define its path, or even the necessity of its existence beyond pure creative exercise. Go to Full Review Jay Slayton-Joslin Cultured Vultures 10/04/2019
Instead of having a strong current that pulls the viewer in any direction, Flaked just sits there, being passive, and quickly grows stagnant. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 12/07/2018
It's uncomfortably dull, paced like molasses flowing through a stirrer straw, and completely pointless. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jim A @RT90598979 Jul 27 "Flaked" is an authentic slice of beach life. Yes, it's haphazard and meandering. Yes, the plot threads do not neatly tie together. But that's what real life does. As a former resident of two different beach towns, I immediately resonated with "Flaked's" vibe. That's the way it really is: oddball characters with mixed motivations just thrown together. Bravo! Will Arnett for telling a true story that's occasionally humorous, occasionally tragic, and always bewildering.

The writing is superb. See more iyar 2 @RT82021180 05/11/2023 Will Arnett is too narcissistic of a character. its not a comedy just some glourification of a 40 years old boring dude . See more 07/31/2022 Really enjoyed this season, and most of the next one. Really fascinated by the ups and downs of addiction, the comparison of characters and how they changed throughout. Would recommend. See more Kate M @Hiddencitykate 10/21/2020 Wanted to like this because of the cast, setting and glimpse into 12-step life but storytelling was all over the place, inconsistent, and the ride was not fun. See more 07/09/2020 Interesting concept and characters - extremely poor writing. Watch season 1 and then forget it. The writers just phoned it in after season 1. See more Read all reviews
