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.

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 ?

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.

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.
