"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.

Critics Consensus

Kevin Can F**K Himself's ambitious blend of genres don't always gel, but searing social commentary and a stellar performance from Annie Murphy make for an engaging watch.

Kevin Can F**k Himself doesn't just reference sitcom tropes, it weaponises them.

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas

ABC Radio (Australia)

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.

Rated: 4/5

The Age (Australia)

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.

Rated: 3.5/5

The show is an interesting commentary on comedy and storytelling, but the plot is also just plain good.

Petersen's Kevin is howlingly offensive... That helps viewers root for Allison, but tilts the table a bit too far to one side.

There's never been a series on TV quite like Kevin Can F**k Himself... one of the best new shows of 2021.

This is a fantastic dark comedy that uses a very specific way of showing the story to the viewers. The use of Sitcom style scenes in some parts and not in others is a fantastic idea that I have not seen before and it works really well. This season is great from start to finish.

I started watching, and I am enjoying it. The one thing that bothers me is the irritating laugh track. Must we endure a track?

Started out well. Interesting cinematography between comedy and drama but storyline drops off drastically and ends watcher unsatisfied with ending. Would not recommend.
