Podcast: Netflix’s ‘Flaked’ and the Curse of TV Ennui

Podcast

Episode 68: On this week’s podcast, we deep dive into Netflix’s Flaked and discuss what gives us TV ennui

On today’s Water Cooler Podcast, the Cooler gang takes a look at the concept of TV ennui. What shows – even those that are critically acclaimed – have we lost steam in barreling through? Is it us? Are these shows really not as good as pop culture would have you believe? Can you jump back into a show once you’ve gotten bored with it? Before that podcast segment, we take a slightly spoilery look at Netflix’s latest comedy, Flaked. This series stars Will Arnett as, according to Netflix, a self-help guru. Does this description fit? What did the Water Cooler Podcast gang think of Arnett’s stab at legitimacy?

Also, at the end of this week’s podcast, be on the lookout for a Very Special Announcement regarding an upcoming show!

Remember to prep for our Flashback episode, dropping next week, centering around Starz’s cult hit Party Down, starring Adam Scott and Jane Lynch. We’ll be discussing that series in detail plus the legacy it leaves behind.

Thanks, as always, for listening and being such loyal followers!
