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

    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 so different than the “comedy” part.

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

    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

    The conceit – a happy facade in front of friends and family, bleak realism when she’s “off” – is a good one. ... The problem comes as the series unfolds. ... We end up watching two increasingly unrelated narratives – the better of which keeps getting interrupted by a clunking 90s sitcom, complete with dull storylines about get-rich-quick schemes or the boss coming to dinner that neither illuminate nor complicate Allison’s story, nor create any thematic symbiosis.

    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.

    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.
