''Kevin Can F*** Himself' has shaped up into one of the great missed opportunities of recent TV history,' DPD_ writes. 'It’s a show that has surprisingly little to say about anything other than the particulars of its situation'
this weekend and already streaming the finale on its streaming service, is a television show about television. As its title makes thuddingly clear, the series is intended to deconstruct a genre of sitcom that reached an apex with CBS’ “Kevin Can Wait,” on which lead Kevin James’ wife was so disposable as a comic element that the production literally disposed of her, killing her off between seasons.
It’s easy enough to understand Kevin’s half of the equation. This fellow, when he walks into the room, defines his own reality and insists upon playing center of attention. He understands his life as a comedy in which his own bad behavior only cements his role as protagonist: So far, so simple.
The uncertain sense of scale here suggests that the writers of “Kevin Can F*** Himself” aren’t deeply comfortable in the world they’re satirizing. The show’s sitcom landscape comes to feel stilted and strange as the show goes on, and not merely because Allison’s developed a consciousness: More and more, it feels apparent that “Kevin Can F*** Himself” is a satire intended for an audience with only a broad general idea of what’s being satirized.
