	Author	Review
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"The series gets more substantive and quicker starting in Episode 6, but over all the pieces (...) fit together uncomfortably."	NEU
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"'Flaked' is such a flavorless affair that there’s scant suspense about the ongoing story,."	NEG
United States	Liz Shannon Miller IndieWire	"'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."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"Arnett’s personal appeal does help the pointless series from time to time, but it just as often exacerbates the hollowness of it. The whole man-child thing is getting old."	NEG
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"There are very good reasons why Will Arnett would have wanted to make 'Flaked' and why Netflix would have made it possible. The reasons for viewers to watch are less compelling."	NEG
United States	Kyle Fowle AV Club	"'Flaked' does try to subvert some of the more familiar aspects of the sadsack male narrative that’s dominated TV for years (...) The ultimate result is that 'Flaked' adheres to a typical story, and one that’s not particularly well told"	NEG
United States	Willa Paskin Slate	"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."	NEU
