Kevin Can F**k Himself

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.

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.

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.

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 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.
