Will Arnett on "Flaked."

Will Arnett's new Netflix comedy, "Flaked," is getting a big thumbs-down from television critics.

So far, it's earned a 39/100 score on review-aggregation site Metacritic. That's the second-worst score ever for a Netflix original comedy, though it did beat "Fuller House." The spin-off got a 35 score (but it still got renewed for a second season).

For context, Netflix's highest-scoring comedy show on the site is Aziz Ansari's "Master of None," with a 91. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" comes in at a far second with a 78 score.
