A standout dark comedy series of the recent decade is set to depart from Netflix in the near future.
The acclaimed TV show "Kevin Can F*ck Himself" is set to leave Netflix on August 19, providing viewers with one last chance to witness its unique blend of comedy and drama. The series, which concluded with its second season in 2022, has been praised for its innovative approach to deconstructing the classic sitcom genre.
"Kevin Can F*ck Himself" follows the story of Allison McRoberts, a woman trapped in a stereotypical sitcom marriage with her husband Kevin. The series presents Allison's life with Kevin through the lens of a classic American sitcom, but the darker, single-camera drama reveals her true feelings and struggles behind the scenes.
Annie Murphy delivers an award-caliber performance as Allison, bringing an intense, quiet fury to the character. You can feel her bubbling resentment in almost every scene as she grapples with her desire to escape her toxic marriage and reclaim her independence.
The show's mix of TV genres was praised by critics, though some felt the mix of tones didn't always gel well. However, the gripping scheme afoot in the "real world" and the show's exploration of the darker side of familiar and comforting TV comedy kept viewers engaged.
The first season of "Kevin Can F*ck Himself" scored 82% on Rotten Tomatoes, with the second season holding a perfect 100% score. The show is currently ranked as one of the most critically acclaimed shows of the past several years.
In "Kevin Can F*ck Himself", Allison breaks free of her "happy" life with Kevin and attempts to strike out on her own and literally strike back against him. The show's satisfying ending provides no cliffhanger or unresolved plot points, leaving viewers with a sense of closure.
Whether you're a fan of comedy, drama, or both, "Kevin Can F*ck Himself" offers a unique viewing experience that challenges the norms of traditional television. Catch it before it leaves Netflix on August 19.
