This is a new fascinating take on sitcoms.
It's interesting how they flip from multiple camera setups when Kevin is around to Single camera setups when Kevin isn't around.
Fairly dark comedy so far.
I'm only half an episode in but uts pretty solid.
Anyone watching this?

watched 10 minutes and tapped out. Hackey jokes. The producers must know how bad it is because they turned the laugh track to 11

My wife was watching it yesterday so I gave it a longer view.

This show is either a brilliant and innovative piece or art or hacky and boring. I'll have to do a little research on the creator's intentions.

in my opinion this is both a comedy AND a drama occuring simultaneously in the same show. When they are in the living room together, it is an exaggeration of standard sitcom, with the laugh track and the characters purposely written to portray comedic stereotypes rather than to be actual people. The creators are taking parts of great sit coms of the past and grotesquely exaggerating them: the living room is nearly identical to Archie Bunker's house; Allison is a reference to Alice Kramden from the Honeymoners; the fat, stupid husband with the ridiculously unattainable hot wife is a reference to any number of sit coms. The exaggeration is a commentary on how cliched and tired all of these sit com tropes have become, even as they continue to appear in some form, season after season.

The (possibly) brilliant part is when Kevin leaves the scene. It is shot entirely differently, darker and grainy. It seems like the creators are identifying what that beautiful wife who married the stupid slob in the sit com would think and do in real life if she were presented with a scenario that is accepted as comedic in the sit com universe. This part of the show has edge. It deals with all of the emotions and hurt one would expect if the comedy were reality.

Don't be fooled, this is a drama dressed in a comedy's clothing.

A lot of words and yet no mention of an attractive Asian man.

I find this show fascinating.

And I’m still not sure if I like it. But I can’t stop now.

Plus I find this chick oddly fascinating. I would watch her read the Bible. Even thru all the begats.

I like her.

I hate the sitcom parts but you have to see it to setup the other stuff. I’m wondering if at some point, maybe next season, we switch to Kevin’s perspective for drama.

It takes some pretty strong acting to pull off Allison's role. I'm not sure the guy playing Kevin has that ability. Chicago guy though, so he can probably do anything.

I sought this series out last night on the above recommendations, but, sadly, one must have the Starz to see it on Netflix now.

It should be available on AMC.

I watch it through AMC+ on Xfinity.

I can't tell what I get for free and what I pay for any longer. I just talk into the remote and see what comes on.

AMC has it and while it doesn't pique my interest, exactly why can Kevin go fuck himself is my question?

I thought (from previews/commercials) that it was a show where she was a jilted ex who hated Kevin and she murdered him or something.

It's a laugh-track King of Queens until every time the hot wife leaves the room and Kevin is not around it turns into Breaking Bad because she despises how Kevin treats her in the sitcom world portion of the show.

Essentially what if the premise of typical sitcoms actually had real-world repercussions.

Watched the first 3 episodes and the format of the show is brilliant. I dont know of any other show that's attempted this before.

Episode 3 seemed to start including the sister(?)/neighbor in the drama part so I wonder if more and more people will be included in that part.

I think I hate this show and, yet, I need to know what happens next.

This last episode I was about 3 seconds from writing it off and then they do something interesting.

This show can Fuck itself.

I'm still in.

Yeah, the last 5 minutes was pretty good. That's the end of season 1. Nice little cliffhanger. I hope it gets renewed for another season.
