It takes a couple episodes to get use to the intentionally drastic tonal shifts and to get a feel for the conflict. Once I understood the show grew more and more compelling. So compelling that by the end I wanted season 2 immediately! Give this 2-3 episodes because it is definitely a different way of telling a story. Also, Annie Murphy does a great job acting.

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.

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.

This show understands its subject matter and explains it well .

It works on so many levels .

Working as a sitcom and drama switching between the two demonstrates the world we pretend we live in and the world we actually do live in .

How many of us enter a room full of friends and family etc and realize it sounds like a sitcom . Silly banter and name calling nothing serious discussed .

I think this show has promise but only 2 episodes so far .

Annie Murphy is fantastic switching between fake sitcom banter and dark material .

Watch it with an open mind it's about many things . What does it mean to you ?

Or at least not in the way sit coms are meant to be. This is not a sit com. Its a parody of the dumpy guy with a hot wife who he treats like an annoyance trope. For once the hot wife is the protagonist and it follows her around instead of the bumbling husband and through that you understand why she such a stick in the mud because she is married to a child. It's smart, clever and dark in the best way. I'm amazed at the 1 star reviews and that many people had this fly over their heads.

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.

This reminds me of the segment in the movie 'Natural Born Killers' in which Mallory's history is explained through a flashback presented as a 50s/'Married with Children' comedic TV episode starring Rodney Dangerfield as Mal's abusive father. The difference is 'Kevin' under-serves the irony and is heavy on the...well, heaviness. I get it, but I'm not sure I'm up to a weekly dose of 'Kevin' as entertainment.

So many people watch a few minutes of the opening scenes and assume its just a cheesy sitcom, without watching through to realize that the sitcom part is supposed to be over the top along with the laughtrack. Its such a unique and intreguing show. Despite the sitcom part being cheesy on purpose, a lot of it is actually funny and i find myself laughing anyways. The dark part of the show when it gets real is even funny sometimes. The show pokes fun at other sitcoms such as king of queens. If you notice, the husband is always some heavy, non attractive men with hot wives and shows how unrealistic that part is, while showing how sitcoms make women on these shows seem just dumb irrelevant servants. I think women can actually relate to this more than men becuase its relatable. I originally gave this show a 9 but changed my rating after watching more episodes. I'm picky with tv shows so if a series makes me go through withdrawals waiting on the next episode, I can't give it less than a 10.

I was excited to watch the 2 hour premiere of this show and it didn't disappoint. It definitely gets better in the second-half of the two-hour debut particularly in the more serious portions of the show. The multi perspective format is unique and it really is something watching a scene cut from a bright laugh tracked sitcom to a dark drama. You're watching two very different shows at once. While that gives KCFH some uniqueness it feels like the sitcom parts are a bit overused or perhaps overdone? I know Kevin is supposed to be portrayed as a moron but its obvious by the time the first sitcom scene ends. We get it, The King of Queens was corny. I'd be fine seeing a little less of the sitcom portion of the show because I think the gritty drama is the series' strongpoint. I would even go as far as saying that this is better classified as a drama than dark comedy. Still, after just 2 episodes I've seen enough to warrant tuning into the remainder of the season.

Its definitely better than the previews and not what I thought. Its dark, its insane, its funny, and i love every bit of it. Its nothing like I've ever seen. It took about 3 episodes to really get the feel of it. The back and forth between sitcom mode and reality mode was done wonderfully. Here's to hoping for a season 2.

After seeing promos for months, I was really looking forward to this. I didn't understand if it was going to be a sitcom or a drama until I watched the first episode, then realized what the writers were doing. The concept is original, but the execution falls flat. I don't really care for any of the characters (nothing against the actors; everyone seems well cast) and the pacing seems very slow. After 2-3 episodes, I wanted Allison to either divorce or kill him and be done with it. Maybe I should have given it a few more episodes, but I've already lost interest.

Annie Murphy is fantastic. This is NOT a comedy. It is a dark drama about an unhappy wife trapped in a dysfunctional relationship and her effort to break free. The director's/writer's decision to contrast the colour and lighting from her 'family life' to her 'real' life planning an escape is unique and brilliant. This is a new and noteworthy series. Highly recommended.

Very unique idea. The sitcom moments are very throwback to the 80s. Annie Murphy moves from the sitcom to drama scenes with ease. I will be honest that I didn't get it in the beginning but it came together.

It is a bit like Wenda, a show i didnt like,but i prefer this one.

I found the reality world parts can have been writen betterbut that would complicate the connections with the parts that are old bad funny sitcom style.

Give it a try, i found it ok and hope it will not get stale before i finish the whole season....

I get the concept, but .... this would have been much better had the sit-com portion not be so obviously over the top.

An effort to write it within the constraints of a "good" sit-com rather than making it an obviously bad sit-com would have made the point more clearly. "Everybody Loves Raymond," for example, may have been playing some really hurtful stereotypes but it was at least funny within its form ... this is not.

Conversely, the drama portion is just too funny. It should have been written (and acted) more within the genre of serious drama. I can't help but realize I am watching comedy actors play stereotypical "Worchesterians," bad accents and all.

But, the concept is interesting. Forget the twist of playing off sit-com TV, how do abused and ignored housewives really live in our male-dominated society?

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!

Allison views her marriage as a sub par situation comedy. Her husband Kevin is a shlubby , self involved under achiever, his family and buddies are simpletons and her life is totally unfulfilling. All the scenes with Kevin and his pals are filmed with two cameras and a ludicrous laugh track exclusively on one set.

Once Allison exits, the lighting and camera work abruptly shift to something far more dramatic.

She only ever interacts with two of the female characters outside of the sitcom setting, neither of which understands her angst and growing dissatisfaction with her marriage.

The other characters in the dramatic portion of the show, a high school sweetheart who has returned after a decade to open a restaurant and a lecherous mechanic she confides in are never mentioned in the sitcom portion.

Annie Murphy (Allison) is a fine actor, the problem is the sitcom marriage scenes are so one dimensional, uninspired and unfunny you never really believe she was ever attracted to Kevin or would have any problem walking out the door.

Where as her plan to change her fortune and the situations she finds herself in the dramatic parts of the show are totally unrealistic, illogical and unbelievable. On top of this, Allison is the only sympathetic and interesting character in the show. No one else has a single redeeming quality.

However previews of future episodes seem to promise an alliance with one of the main characters. Hopefully this makes for an interesting and immediate plot development, because as of now the series is totally underwhelming.

This is pretty much the question you'll have to answer for yourself. There is some potential here ... but you have to live through some pain ... actually quite a bit if pain... to get there. The sitcom portion is mostly... well... horrendous. And I know that's the point. But there is so much sitcom and most of it is so bad. There were a few chuckles but it took some time to get there... and only maybe half of them were within the sitcom portion. Anyone watching this without an idea of the premise ... what they were shooting for ... likely moved on by the 10 minute mark. I almost did myself and I did know. It was just taking too long to get there.

I wanted to LOVE this show. I love the concept, the duality of writing is actually tackled fairly well given how difficult it must be to switch styles beteeen dark comedy and sitcom on a whim.

This show has a bit of everything for anyone who loves comedy, but doesn't do much of anything superbly outside of the transitions.

The performances are pretty darn good, forgiving a couple pretty poor Boston accents and the over-arching plot is followed through well, but just about everything in between is super sloppy. You're asked to forgive a lot as a viewer and, at first, it's totally fine. Plot holes are forgivable to a degree. But episode after episode small incontinuities start to add up and become annoying and unforgivable and frustrating.

Then you have the characters. You think you're walking into a show where Kevin is the worst and it's built for you to hate him. And you are. What you don't know until you're in it is how generally despicable just about every single person in this series is. There is some growth and redemption you'll be rewarded with for sticking with it, but decision after decision being made that blatantly hurts people that are supposed to care about each other becomes emotionally taxing and made me not want really push forward halfway through the second season.

Thankfully, KCFH tied a neat bow on everything after just two season. Probably the perfect length because this show wears out its welcome incredibly fast. I loved the ending and the last two episodes were refreshingly well-paced and laid out compared to most of the rest of the content.

Overall, I'd say to definitely say to give this show a shot because it's incredibly fresh and fun to start and such a short jaunt into this concept that even with the true annoyances can be powered through to a stellar ending.
