Flaked joins HBO’s Togetherness, Netflix’s Love, FXX’s You’re the Worst, Amazon’s Transparent and Hulu’s Casual in seemingly being about the same thing. "In each of these shows,” says Hank Stuever, "there are moments and situations that are meant to seem authentic and relatable, but instead come across as an off-putting and insular display of creative-class kvetching. Sending mixed signals about the distance between possibly rich and technically poor, these shows all ask their viewers to accept and understand the most exquisite kind of West Coast suffering, as experienced by a very certain stripe of creative, nerdy Los Angeles-area residents.”
