abedthedude Will Arnett at his best... well, kinda 2nd best after Bojack Horseman.

James Osborne There are no Vikings, gangsters, pyhcopath policemen or cowboys, but that's what I like about Flaked. To me it's something different, it isn't a treacle dripped love story or a woe is me story about alcoholics, it's a story about annoying friends who are alcoholics, and irritating people who arn't. Dennis is very annoying but you have to give it to him, he always trys to punch above his weight when it comes to women. London is just a bit of a dullard and Chip, terrible name, well he's just a cool guy that the ladies love, which makes him irritating. The best things about him are his Adidas Rod Lavers ( I had the same ones years ago)and his Elesse swim shorts. Compelling, yet irksome viewing.

mr_big17 Will Arnett stars in this beautiful comedy/drama Netflix Original. The whole show is about change: Chip (Arnett) refuses to change anything about his life. He rides a bike, does not have a cellphone, sells the same stool since 2008. When his friends, entourage and town try to move on from the way things are, he will do whatever is in his power to prevent that. Also, the past is literally chasing Chip. Great writing, great acting and directed in such a comfortable manner that really illustrates how the characters perceive their life in this city that is stuck on hold. The soundtrack is amazing and fits perfectly with the tone and the colours of the show. I strongly feel that it is the most underrated show on Netflix.

mharah I'm guessing that Will Arnett fans probably find this rewarding. For the rest of us, not so much. It moves very slowly and very little happens. And even that which does happen only sort of happens. I assume that all of these folks did something productive once upon a time. But now they populate Venice - not the one in Italy, of course - the one in Los Angeles - the tourist-hippie-chic beach town. Venice does have its ultra-wealthy citizens, of course. They either enjoy the Bohemian ambiance, or they enjoy the beach but do their other activities somewhere else. The rest of the folks in Venice, at least those in Flaked, seem to be just drifting, looking for lives they either once had or for which they are still hoping. The cast is well up to the assignment but that doesn't help much. The characters are the story, so saying anymore would give things away. Netflix streams the eight episodes in the first season, and suffice to say it must have satisfied its expectations because it has been renewed for season 2.
