"Kevin Can F... Himself" is a dark comedy that alternates between traditional multi-camera sitcom and single-camera drama. Set in Worcester, Mass., the series follows the journey of Allison McRoberts, a stereotypically smart and beautiful sitcom wife, who is married to Kevin, a husky, self-centered man-child who is clearly punching above his weight. After making a dark discovery, Allison teams up with neighbor Patty O'Connor as she attempts to escape the confines of her life and take control of her fate.

Kevin Can F**k Himself doesn't just reference sitcom tropes, it weaponises them. Go to Full Review Alexandra Heller-Nicholas ABC Radio (Australia) Sep 10, 2021
4/5
Murphy's performance as Allison hits exactly the right notes at exactly the right time, and - straddling as it does the fluffiness of the orthodox sitcom with something a little more complex - Kevin Can F**k Himself gets the balance just right.

3.5/5
What does intrigue is the way certain elements of this Janus-faced show bleed from one side to the other. The evolution of Patty, and of the relationship between the two women, is fascinating too. Go to Full Review Bree Fowler CNET Mar 30, 2023
The show is an interesting commentary on comedy and storytelling, but the plot is also just plain good. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv Oct 4, 2022
Petersen's Kevin is howlingly offensive... That helps viewers root for Allison, but tilts the table a bit too far to one side. Go to Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground Jun 25, 2022

Kimberly H @RT35764915 9 hrs ago Five episodes in, and I haven't laughed once. You can't call it a "dark comedy"... It has an interesting premise... to bad they didn't use it the right way. See more a P @Ammurca Aug 17, 2026 I wouldn't expect the average, explosion-seeking American to understand this show (which bears out, judging by the audience ratings)--but this show is a brilliant satire of our culture. It is one of the best serials of all time, in my view. Too bad it only went for two seasons. See more Viol8r T @Viol8r Feb 8, 2025 Divorce seems like the easy option in this dark comedy. The switch from sitcom to drama is extremely brilliant and unique, something I would argue is groundbreaking. The show is a slow burn however, with lots of pointless scenes that make you wonder at times, is Kevin even the bad guy? See more Ben N @Bneffer Dec 22, 2024 This creative show is a great satire on sitcoms and the male/female POV across media. The characters are easy to identify with, while also being nuanced. The 'light' show elements are unrealistic and silly, while the 'dark' are gritty and dressing. I think real life is somewhere in between and I'd venture to say the creators are commenting on that. It's up to us to choose what to do with our perceptions. As for the plot - the show progresses fairly quickly. It's a very different and pokes at the tropes we take for granted about average shows and movies. I enjoyed the ending, and kind of hope it marks the beginning of the end for a genre that is better off dead. See more Bria L @RT35653413 Nov 21, 2024 Watched two episodes. Felt sorry for Kevin. The wife is psycho. See more Erica P @RT09792245 Oct 30, 2024 Wow. I am so impressed with ths show. At first i was confused. i had no idea what i was getting into. i turned it off for a few days after about 5 mins into the first ep. i didnt want to watch a sitcom.... then i seen it pop up on tiktok and decided to continue. im so glad i did!!!! annie is an amazing actress my goodness!!! it really is a must-see. i hope they continue it into a 3rd season.
