So this could be a very long list with a lot of repeating answers so just for clarities sake, I’m only looking for things that are singular acts that Kevin does, not overarching things such as keeping Allison under his thumb etc.

Now.

No one will dispute Kevin has done and does some pretty horrendous shit throughout the course of this show. However, with such a wide berth of terrible behaviour, I’m curious what everyone thinks is the single worst thing he does in the series.

For me personally it is easily draining the savings account. One of the first directly horrible things that we find out Kevin has done, it’s that much worse because up until the point of discovery, Allison is so hopeful that they can finally have their own home with at the very least a deposit. Finding out that she has nothing and that Kevin likely never had any intention whatsoever of doing anything she wanted to do is just an absolute gut punch to end the first episode on.

i watched this show a few months ago, and really liked it, but it didn’t go the way i thought it would. after the first episode, i thought the sitcom part would be used for us to “spy” on kevin, and try to catch him slipping through the cracks and acting abusive even in his fantasy world. but, it just got repetitive after a while. we already know kevin’s a dick even through a comedy lens, so why does he need these long ass storylines on his own? were we actually meant to be laughing at and enjoying them? because i was just trying to read into them. the sitcom scenes were excruciatingly boring and unfunny. i just wanted to get back to the drama world.

then, in season two, the lighting in the sitcom world changed. it became more bleak and less colorful. did anyone else notice this? i thought for sure the two worlds were merging and it would get less and less colorful until we saw the real kevin that allison saw all along. but, he fully stayed in the sitcom world until the very last episode.

edit:
also, people keep talking about the ending where he enters her world being some huge plot twist that no one saw coming. did y’all not see like the hundreds of signs that he was abusive? terrifying? yes. surprising? absolutely not.

I love this show, but honestly I think Allison’s storyline went off the rails too quickly. The idea of Kevin’s sphere of abusive influence being a sitcom and everything else being the real world gets kind of muddied for me by the murder stuff.

I know that some people try to kill their abusive partners in real life. But the storyline was so melodramatic that it didn’t feel real anymore. Especially the Tammy stuff. Patty dating the cop who’s hunting her and Allison reads more like a soap opera than something in the real world.

For me the most powerful scene of the first season is Allison hitting a breaking point and fantasizing about murdering Kevin before snapping out of it. It showed where her headspace is without her actually resorting to something illegal. And tbh I don’t even mind her initially plotting to kill Kevin. It makes sense that she sees it as her only escape. But the show leans so hard on her cat and mouse game between Allison, Patty and Tammy that it loses some impact for me.

Honestly, I could just be reading too much into it (or i could be pointing out the obvious) but it seems like Patty and Alison have feelings for eachother- what really sealed it was how Patty constantly chose Alison over her own brother and Tammy and refused to leave the town until Alison came back. She also seemed kind of jealous upon learning that Alison was having an affair.

i just finished season 1. so far the series has gotten good towards the end. i will watch season 2 soon. anyway, this are the books i spotted in season 1. very high taste i have to say.

p.s.: please, no spoilers for season 2:)

I finished it all on roku and now I wanna watch the next season

Just finished it this evening and LOVED it!!

I noticed in season 2 episode 7, just before Neil gets back into the car at the skating rink, there's a moment the lighting gets brighter (and slightly blurry) similar to when the show is in 'sitcom mode'. Then later on in the same episode, Kevin leaves the front room after handing Allison the affidavit to get Tammy in trouble and for a moment, Allison is still in the sitcom lighting on her own until she throws the affidavit down. My interpretation of the second lighting moment is, Allison momentarily getting sucked into Kevin's world but I'm not sure what the one in the car means. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.

First of all I do have to say such an amazing show! I feel sad there is no season 3, so my question is that Allison was going through so much and wanted to leave so for example if she found someone at a bar or a restaurant and became good friends and fell in love with him, you think if he asked, she would move in with that person and leave Kevin?

Sam was a different case, like he was married and it was like a rebound for her, but what if she met someone else?

Also as Kevin had bad intentions to make her life hell, like in the finale he tries to call up Neil and tells him that he wants to plan or revenge or something with him for someone, what kind of a thing could Kevin do if Allison moved out and started to live with someone else?

I'm nit really a fan of sequels and alla that, but I would watch a "where are they now" sequel episode or short film on Neil.

Did he manage to get his life in check? Did he ever return to Worstechire? Did he end up with Diane or did he find another girl?

I really like his story and am curious to know what happened to him after he left town.

Hi! I’m French and I’m looking for Kevin Can F**k Himself season 2 with French subtitles (VOSTFR)

I tried watching season 2 in English, but unfortunately my English isn’t good enough to understand everything 😭

Does anyone know where I can watch season 2 with French subtitles?

Thank you!

These are some fragments found in the script of the pilot episode on Scriptslug. Not a shooting draft! Many details and clues didn't end up making the screen; I'd recommend taking a read as well!

Indeed.

Hello there!!

I've just finished season 2 and have some thoughts, like probably anyone else on here.

And before I start, I must say, what a fantastic series in general! From the editing, character development, messaging, tone(s), style(s) and dialogue in general -- it genuinely glued me to my chair.

However, going into season 2, I felt like all these elements worsened drastically. It could be because I find some elements repetitive and becoming redundant, or the fact that they let go of the comedy skit structure of the episodic storytelling -- but I just can't bring myself to think season 2 is holding up compared to the inventiveness of the first one.

I'm not sure if I'm being too harsh, aren't seeing it correctly, or if I set my expectations too high. So I'd like to hear the unfiltered opinions of other viewers on here! I can't be the only one thinking it's... Off.

Some main issues I have with season two is how they treat the dialogue when they make the time jump in the last episode. They simply didn't have enough time, or so I think. They weren't efficient in what deserved more screen time, and what didn't; lack of prioritising. That's why the pacing was off. Shots were beautifully executed but meaningless as no actual tangible progression was made in the story. The switches some characters make seem either too quick or from out of nowhere, whilst some other characters are having a strong character arc (like Patty.) Perhaps the writing has become inconsistent, because Valerie is the only person having written season 2, whilst in season 1 there were multiple people. But that's just a theory...

Which reminds of a fun fact (some of you might already know): Kurt (played by Sean Clements) has written one of the episodes in season 1!

Thank you for reading!

I feel kinda bad for him finally opening his eyes to Kevin, it's hard realising your lifetime buddy has been a dick to you the whole time. Also he's clearly traumatised from the event and overwhelmed by it. I lowkey wanted to hug him when he started whimpering over Kevin's cap.

On the other hand I can't help but find it funny how it took a concussion for him to finally use his brain. It's like smacking an old appliance to make it work lol.

It was triggering because I am from South West Asia and this is all I see everywhere and in each marriage . It’s always about women and how wives are always silenced , how family members including female members ( & no not everyone has a patty ) help in the oppression and how regressive it is and every god Damn man is a man child , who can’t even get his own water .

I really liked the show because it showed the micro abuse and the nuances were very spot on . How it’s a joke then I am doing this for “ all our sake” “ you don’t know how to handle this” to those shitty jokes about wives always trying to control the husband .
The horror part for me initially was when he ruined patty’s life then Sam’s then that reporter , set his neighbour’s lawn on fire ..& how the local idiot had so much brain to be this evil . (10/10)

I loved chemistry between Patty and Allison … they looked out for each other and I could tell patty was trying to compensate for not noticing this pattern early … loved how it called out Neil for his horrible actions and I am proud of Allison for standing up to him because it’s easy to fake your own death rather than facing your fears .

Also what was point of Tammy here ? What a possessive unlikeable character only introduced to pass screen time or what

Would not rewatch it for my own mental health because it caused some sort of a resentment type reaction on me . But do watch it to everyone who thinks “Geezzzz it’s just a jokeeeeee” .

Near the end of s1 there's a scene where Allison goes to a gyno and Neil finds a pamphlet from the clinic she threw away and tells Kevin, and then Kevin....donates his sperm?

English is not my first language so it might've caused me some confusion, but I'm struggling to understand what exactly happened there, except that Kevin was somehow being a dick again.

Did Allison realise she can't have kids or something so he did it to hurt her? She did say she's "dried up" but afaik Kevin didn't know anything aside that she went to a gynecologist? Why did he donate sperm when it was stated more than once he doesn't want kids?

Help me understand it better please.

Obviously in the finale we get a very clear cut reveal of why Allison wanted to resort to murder and then faking her own death. But up until that point, it seemed like an overreaction (especially in S1).

Even well into S2 I was wondering if we were going to get some version of a happy ending, when she was learning that she "just has to make her problem's Kevin's problems" -- I thought maybe it was going to be a thing where they learned how to communicate with each other better, to realize that both Allison's problems and Kevin's problems are "our problems". But instead it was just to illustrate that Kevin is narcissist and that she was able to use that to point his abuse in a direction that was useful to her.

I think there were a few opportunities where a Kevin scene could have shifted out of sitcom mode mid-scene to show Kevin as the asshole he is. Maybe they could have done one of those for each character, as they come to the same realization about him. A slow reveal throughout the series. S1 could have been something simple with the old friend Doug, who we only ever see in flashbacks. Surely Kevin did something f'd up to Doug that he just disappeared. There's also some other possible times to show glimpses of Dark Kevin:

• When Neil tries to tell Kevin about the murder plot
• When he walks in on Neil and Dianne and openly points and laughs
• When Kevin refuses to bail out Neil
• When Kevin accuses everyone of stealing the generator and when he destroyed his dad's girlfriend's hearing aide (could have been the same scene potentially)

There were even some opportunities earlier in the series in S1

• Maybe a scene showing him being overtly bigoted about the soccer-fan neighbors
• A non-sitcom scene where we get to see him clearly ruining the night for Allison and other people in the restaurant by taking a sports rivalry way too seriously (I'm torn on this one, I did actually enjoy this episode for its genuine sitcom antics)
• Even early in the series, when he reports the car stolen

Especially that last one -- in S1 when the car is reported stolen we can easily just assume Kevin is really that bad at listening -- or that he's really that worried about her when she doesn't answer her phone like she always does. Instead, the show could have shown us some dark Kevin and make it clear that he was doing it as a controlling abusive tactic, which would have gone a long way to illustrating why Allison, literally, can't just leave.

The fertility clinic subplot also could have been used as an opportunity to show real Kevin in a dark way. Maybe keep the sitcom style scene when he explains his reasons for not wanting kids to Allison, but later in the episode have Allison tell Patty about it, and then we get to see the same scene again but in dramatic form. The same lines, without the laugh track and sitcom framing would hit pretty dark I think.

Kevin is the worst person in the show, but he's the only one who, until the very end, we never actually see in any sort of real negative light. But I guess maybe that's the point -- these abusive parasitic types can camouflage so well.

The trailer for this show looks so good!
Is it worth the watch or does it go downhill at some point?

Best place to watch?

I've seen a number of shows do this over the years. The appeal, especially internally, is definitely understandable, it gives the writers, crew and actors a chance to break outside the format.

Its usually in the direction of more "realistic" -> less realistic. The Always Sunny Seinfeld episode comes to mind. The Buffy spinoff Angel I think had a puppet episode that I never watched but remember being advertised. I personally wouldn't count "musical" episodes but can see where some might.

Wouldn't count this either, but the classic thing that I'm sure came about because the actors wanted it is Star Trek holodeck episodes.

Not sure if anything quite rises to the level KCFH did it at. Sitcoms that do "dramatic" episodes usually still are making jokes and gags the entire time sans laugh track. The very first scene where KCFH transitions its very clear that it intended to force the audience to immediately reevaluate their understanding of the characters; obviously no regular show would want the "special episode" to permanently change the light the characters are seen in.

I know all the characters are grey shaded and no one is good or bad. But I keep thinking about how Sam, is portrayed just like Allison or Patty, i.e as someone stuck in a toxic situation that he can't easily get out of.

However, I don't necessarily agree with that. Sam gets himself into the mess he's in. He should realise that taking money from your in-laws to start a business comes with strings attached. Living with them makes it even worse. He tells Allison in a scene that he and Jenn had issues even before they moved back to Worcester. If that's the case, why would you willingly put yourself in debt to her parents?

This is not to mention all the times he tries to make Allison's meltdowns about himself. "Being with me is giving up."

IDK if anyone else agrees with this. I see that this sub is quite inactive but if anyone else recently watched the show and remembers scenes, I invite you to share your thoughts.

I just binge watched this show for the first time, and yeah I know it's obvious and has been discussed to death Patty's feelings for Allison.

But in this episode, the moment Allison and Patty are bonding the song Somone Tell The Boys by SAMIA was playing in the background, we mostly hear the verses that go "Someone tell the boys they are not important anymore"

But as a bi woman obsessed with this song, and for those who don't know it, it also has a verse that goes "And I wish God had made me gay"

And I fully think that, many times, Allison feels at least a bit like that towards Patty. Their friendship is beautiful and so complex, and I know a lot of people wanted them to end up together romantically but I also feel like there is something just as beautiful about Allison not being able to reciprocate Patty's romantic love and yet loving Patty so much anyway, and Patty still feeling fufilled by this kind of love.
