Seán D @RT20852650 04/07/2024 Fun entertainment mostly. Plot drags a little and feels repetitive. Arnett is impressive, but lacks enough character development to make him a long term interesting character. some funny stuff between Dennis and Co, worth a watch.

The writing is smart enough and the show's clearly ambitious, but it was the little edge of tension inherent in the perilous lifestyles of the leads, each of them living hand-to-mouth, that kept me returning. The plot twists were large enough that a couple of them changed my understanding of and therefore my emotional interest in the protagonists. The end of the first season ended with my curiosity waning: the Will Arnett character was less and less charming. I was curious about how the writers would write him back into my good graces, and they largely succeeded by pointing out how quickly his hand-to-mouth peers would drop their moral pretenses as well. It worked for me, and it seemed true. Overall, I liked this collection of characters and thought the actors portraying them did a terrific job. There's no violence here, and very little sex. Instead there's thoughtful dialogue and tension created by the rearranging, reflecting and reassessing of friendships. Thought it was good. See more 05/13/2020 I absolutely love this show. The characters are great! I hope this show is not cancelled!! Netflix-bring on season 3!!! See more 01/07/2020 The lack of renewal for season three leaves me disappointed with season two as a whole, given the abrupt ending. So many character arcs were just haphazardly packed up and tied up with a bow. The daughter who'd been traumatized by her alcoholic father for most of her teenage life suddenly forgives that alcoholic father and extending that forgiveness to her current alcoholic boyfriend, just doesn't feel like there was enough shown to reach that conclusion. Then Chip, who'd spent the entire show constructing a web of lies to only get tangled in them and somehow come untangled with no real punishment only forgiveness from those closest to him of which he'd spent all his time lying to the previous and current season. Cooler is amazing and I hope he and Alex live a wonderful life, any and all interaction between both was what saved season two for me. I hope for another season as it'd answer a lot more questions and clean up the ending, but I doubt it's coming as Arnett is busy with Bojack. See more 07/15/2018 FLaked is GENIOusly taking a slow-tv approach to the SUBJECT of manhood, friendship and love. It has AN almost HIDDEn but UNDENIABLY spiritual undercurrent on the edge between death and sexuality. Most critics have it all wrong! Please make season 3!! See more 05/30/2018 I feel like the writers on this show have never had an actual conversation with another human, Maybe they are bots...oh no, maybe its an old boy scenario where they are all being held captive in a makeshift hotel. the only way to escape is to bang out all these scripts and their captors don't speak english so they cant incentives for quality. Now I'm worried about them. See more Read all reviews
