Kevin Can F**k Himself

I see people on here writing about the "laugh track making up for bad jokes," but that's literally the point. The "comedy" portion of the show is over the top on purpose to show the viewer the messaging women receive from society and the expectations they are demanded to abide by. It isn't supposed to be funny and if it is to you, that's the problem. The darker moments show us the outcome of unrealistic and harmful messages of media and society, and the experience that women have in the world. This is a dark show, not a comedy, so if you're expecting laughs, you've missed the point.

A truly original concept that probably won't get the love it deserves because it's hard to get into with the purposely bad sitcom aspect. I actually think one of the rare misses is not making the sitcom portion a bit funnier. I think with that in tow it could hook a lot more people in. Regardless, once the plot gets going it's like nothing else on TV. Definitely worth your time.

The show really gets its legs in episode 3. The cliche sitcom parts of the show actually become kind of endearing and the parts outside the house that don't follow the sitcom model are really good. So yah I say give it a chance through episode 3 to really feel it out.

I stumbled across this after flipping through the channels. The cold open was absolutely cringe AF and had it not been for Annie Murphy, I definitely would've kept channel surfing. However, I figured with her on the show, there must be more to it than what the cold open was presenting. Boy, I was not prepared for the turn it takes, making those cringy AF sitcom scenes make perfect sense. I'm only two episodes in, but I'm quite enjoying it. So if you bailed during the cold open of the premiere and thought "Nah", I'd say give it a second chance and let it play out a bit more!

Though it's not really that deep, this is going over the heads of some reviewers. It's a dark show. The comedy isn't supposed to be funny on its own, it's a parody of TV comedy. The acting in the TV comedy part IS over the top, The humor and plot of the sitcom part is supposed to be ridiculous. The laugh track and setting is in a stupid TV sitcom style. But that's the point. Around her husband, the world is a stupid sitcom full of idiocy. When he's out of the room, it her real life. It's dark. It's drama.

Don't be turned off by the first two minutes.
