Viewers praise ‘f*****g brilliant’ dark series with perfect Rotten Tomatoes score that you can binge in a day

The ambitious series is now available to watch on Netflix

Fans of a critically acclaimed TV sitcom that flew under the radar for a lot of viewers are calling for more people to get stuck in now that it's been picked up by a major streaming platform.

The black comedy is a two-season strong series that originally premiered on AMC in 2021, with the second and final season premiering in 2022.

Critics were hugely impressed with the show, with the second season scoring a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The show, Kevin Can F*** Himself, was also loved by viewers who are now overjoyed that it's available to watch on Netflix.

The premise of Kevin Can F*** Himself is something many viewers will be able to relate to.

Annie Murphy portrays Allison Devine McRoberts, a housewife who regrets all of her decisions and is married to a giant manchild, Kevin McRoberts (Eric Petersen), who is insensitive and unattentive.

The show balances two ambitious formats - a stereotypical sitcom complete with canned laughter when Allison is at home with Kevin, and a single camera set-up with muted tones when she's alone and attempting to forge her own path.

Allison's world gets split into two when she leaves the room where she's at the end of all of Kevin's jokes, and serves as nothing more than a trophy wife who gives him and his friends beers.

Back in the kitchen, she breaks Kevin's glass mug, then fantasises about stabbing her husband in the neck with it.

James Poniewozik wrote for The New York Times: "[Kevin Can F*** Himself] is like that bottle; it will make us see the horror in what we've been trained to see as harmless, even if it has to smack us upside the head. It may be as subtle as a blow to the skull, but it's an inventive meta-critique of TV."

Viewers all over social media have lauded the brilliant show.

One person wrote on X: "Netflix added Kevin Can F Himself, which means time for a re-watch. This show was ahead of its time. The way they use lighting and comedy to portray an abusive marriage is fucking brilliant.

"I felt exactly like that whenever people were around him and I. One big charade."

Another said: "Now that it’s on Netflix I’m desperately hoping Kevin Can F Himself is gonna find the wider audience it deserves, truly such an achievement of TV."

A third added: "just finished Kevin Can F Himself and let me be SO real that was genuinely the best thing ive ever watched. The format of the show, the ending, the deeper meanings behind the choices…

"I could speak about this for the rest of my life."
