Note: this is a mostly spoiler-free review of the second season of Flaked, which is available to stream on Netflix now.
Flaked is essentially the story of a pair of recovering alcoholics trying to overcome their perpetually self-sabotaging behavior and make a fresh start in life. I don't know that it was ever clear just how personal that story is to star/co-creator Will Arnett until he revealed in a Hollywood Reporter interview that he actually fell off the wagon while filming Season 1. That experience seems to have colored the development of the show's sophomore season. Flaked was always more absurdist dramedy than actual comedy, and if anything, the show has an even darker and bleaker tone in Season 2. But that shift in tone, as well as the leaner structure, wind up working in the show's favor. Season 2 winds up clicking in a way the first never really managed.
