Kevin (Probably) Saves the World

I am watching the first episode right now and let me tell ya this is a uplifting and fun show the joy here and the lessons on redemption here alone are a good enough to make you want to watch but they add hilarious humor and heartfelt moments into the mix then you have a terrific show and I cant wait to see where this one goes its just pure joy to enjoy

Here is a show that IMHO deserved a better fate. The first couple of episodes the show was finding its footing with an unusual premise.

Kevin (Jason Ritter) started out an unlikable character but that would change. I'm not giving anything away as it's already in the synopsis and trailer. Let's face it, Jason Ritter seems to function at his best as a charismatic, likeable character....very much like his dad.

Speaking of his dad it's good to see Jason has some very good physical comedy chops. Not in the same league as his dad who was IMHO the best of his generation...but very good just the same.

I enjoyed Jason Ritter in "Another Period". JoAnna Garcia Swishser hasn't played a role that I haven't enjoyed.

No spoilers. Just 16 episodes that were quite enjoyable. JMHO.

Here's another show that was axed that I personally enjoyed. I guess it simply didn't reach a large enough audience to renew it for a second season.

The episodes were smart, funny, entertaining, etc.. Well written and well executed by the company of actors and directors. Certainly a neat pseudo sci-fi show to be sure.

There wasn't a single episode I would call weak. It's been a while since ABC have had a show with consistent high quality IMHO. I personally can't think of one today. Plenty of hits and misses.

Well maybe Kevin didn't save the world but gave fans 16 enjoyable episodes.

Just my two cents.

You can't not like Jason Ritter (who is also the spitting image of his late and talented father). There is simply nothing to not like. In this show, he is funny, vulnerable, kind and all too human. However, I find the female characters rather b*tchy - this comes from a female reviewer. Even his angelic mentor can be rather obnoxious. But nasty females aside, this is an engaging show. It is a dramady - not fully comedic, and not fully dramatic, it does deal with real issues and the characters he encounters will warm your heart. The scene in the airport with the pencil seller is not to be missed. It is a refreshing change from the violence and filth that seem to be dominating the airwaves. I highly recommend it.

OK so I am supposed to be finishing of a design for a client. While I do my design work late at night I like to put on a TV show in the background. Tonight it happened to be 'KPSW' normally the show is on in the background and I just pick up a few things as I work. This time I stopped and watched it. Sure its not the next big thing but I tell you what it is pretty close. I can see me watching this with my kids on a Sunday evening. The characters so far are intriguing don't ask me the names as I am useless with names. I especially like the young girl and I bet plenty of young girls can relate to her in different ways and that is just from the first episode. I am not going to go into details of the show but I will say this if like me middle aged man with kids and who likes to think he has a heart and that the world is not all bad you will enjoy this show and I cant wait to see the next episode.
