What happens

Flaked is an American comedy-drama television series created by Will Arnett and Mark Chappell. It stars Arnett as Chip, a self-appointed "guru" who falls in love while he and many other members of the ensemble cast struggle with alcoholism and Alcoholics Anonymous. The first season consisted of eight episodes and was released on Netflix on March 11, 2016. In July 2016, the series was renewed for a six-episode second season, which premiered on June 2, 2017. The show is in-part inspired by Arnett's own struggles with alcoholism. He relapsed while Flaked was in production, and has attested that Alcoholics Anonymous has played a role in reclaiming sobriety. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
