Kevin Can F**k Himself

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 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!

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.

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.

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.
