On the first season of “Flaked,” we met a self-help guru named Chip (Will Arnett) who desperately needed to turn his talents inward. But struggling with your demons isn’t easy and as the show progressed, it was clear that the wall of lies he had built was going to come crashing down, leaving Chip with some rather messy cleaning up to do.

All signs point to the protagonist having an even tougher time in season two of the Netflix dramedy created by Arnett and Mark Chappell. Can Chip get his life back on track? Or will he sink even deeper under the fallout of his mistakes? Here’s the official synopsis:
Chip returns to Venice after a short exile and finds that he is no longer welcome. People have not forgotten that he sold out the local community. And for what…? Chip’s lost everything: his store, his friends, his reputation, his bicycle… he doesn’t even have a guest house to live in. All he’s got left is London, and she’s beginning to look elsewhere — spiritually, if not physically.
Chip starts to claw his way back into the affections of the community, first asking Dennis to be his sponsor, then helping his friend in a new business venture, and even doing an honest day’s work… But the lies are never too far behind, and just when it looks as though he’s won back his friend and stabilized his relationship, everything splinters again and he slips back into the bottle…
It becomes clear that he needs to make a choice: his best friend or the love of his life. Lies or sobriety.
“Flaked” returns to Netflix on June 2nd.
