Kevin Can F—k Himself is ambitious and experimental, and it’s far more than satire. Read full review

I would hesitate to deem “Kevin” a triumph or a disappointment on the basis of what’s been made available for review, but it’s conceptually ambitious and never dull. Certainly it has been intelligently conceived and acted with commitment and spirit. Taken individually, the drama might feel too familiarly dreary, the comedy too drearily familiar, but their juxtaposition and synthesis does produce something original, and definitely worth a look. And Murphy is terrific. Read full review

“Kevin Can F Himself” has already earned our attention. Now we wait to see what the show has to say beyond its explicit, primary message. Read full review

When it works, the jarring tonal discordance is “Gone Girl” levels of darkly humorous. ... But at a certain point, the show’s experimentation might end up as a distraction rather than a creative expression. ... “Kevin Can F*** Himself” would be better off if it eventually focused on their lives and the overlaps between them instead of focusing primarily on the sitcom gimmick.

The execution doesn’t always match up to the ambition, but in its best moments Kevin Can F**k Himself walks a brilliantly uneasy line between comedy and drama. Read full review

Petersen's Kevin is an outstanding living cartoon of a man, but has no redeeming qualities. You won't wonder why Allison wants him out of her life – you'll want him gone too. If only the gray-toned dramatic side of her existence offered respite. No such luck. ... Murphy's strong performance and the solid enough premise hold the possibility of some kind of turnaround.

The overarching problem is inertness. The show spends so much time vacillating between styles that it neglects to move what should be a thrilling plot forward. By episode 3 (Kevin and Neil go to war over who can make a better chili), Kevin is spinning its wheels. Read full review

It doesn't all work, but it's a brilliant concept.

Die Mischung aus Sitcom und Realität ist ein gutes Konzept. Nur mehr gibts es nicht anderes was diese Serie hervorherbt und nach 20 Minuten hat man fast alles gesehen. Es ist eine dünne Story mit einer guten Hauptdarstellerin. Die kann aber nicht alles retten.

The mix of sitcom and reality is a good concept. Only there is nothing else that makes this series stand out and after 20 minutes you have seen almost everything. It's a thin story with a good leading actress. But it cannot save everything.… Expand

Great concept that just doesn’t work. The comedy part is truly unfunny. It looks like Everybody Loves Raymond without his wife giving as good as she’s taking. She just takes when she is in the “comedy” portion of the show. Then you see her true feelings of a trapped life; which is soGreat concept that just doesn’t work. The comedy part is truly unfunny. It looks like Everybody Loves Raymond without his wife giving as good as she’s taking. She just takes when she is in the “comedy” portion of the show. Then you see her true feelings of a trapped life; which is so different than the “comedy” part. This actually could work in a British setting with a less weird over the top comedy style. Both parts of the show just don’t work. It may evolve, but I can’t imagine people sticking with it. I see cancellation coming quickly.… Expand
