Kevin Can F**k Himself

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.

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.

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.

I looked at my wife and said "this sucks"the first episode. She made me watch it again and the second episode we took a week to watch. Same until the third and then we were hooked. Very good show that is artistic and smart. I really enjoyed it. Good call.

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.
