The series tells the story of a celebrated, self-appointed 'guru' named Chip who takes advantage of every person he meets and occasionally feels bad about it. But Chip's life is turned upside down after he falls for a waitress named London, who is also the object of his best friend's fascination.
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.
...Flaked is not nearly as deep or profound as it desperately wants to be, but there's just enough of a decent blend in humor and drama to make it a satisfactory diversion.
Flaked almost succeeds in tricking you into thinking it's a love story, but it's not. It's really a story about male friendship - insecure, immature and loyal.
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.
