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 ?

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.

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.
