Kevin Can F Himself: Exploring Themes of Frustration and Escape in the World of Classic Sitcoms

Netflix just got a bunch of AMC original series
and I would highly recommend checking out Kevin Can F himself
because it’s pretty much an entire TV show
dedicated to the ethos of Homer’s enemy.
Kevin Can F himself
is about a woman who lives an unfulfilling life with her husband,
the titillator Kevin,
and the show goes back and forth between a traditional sitcom format,
which pretty much only occurs when Kevin is in a scene,
and then a tense drama
which is where she begins to explore options to escape this life.
Allison is so fed up
because her husband just lives the perfect sitcom existence.
Nothing bad can ever permanently happen to him,
and all of his problems get solved by the end of the episode.
That’s Homer’s enemy to a T,
where Frank Grimes is the only normal person in Springfield
who wants everyone to realize that
Homer doesn’t deserve any of the success he has.
He doesn’t deserve to have a nice house or to have, like,
kids who just get into, like,
wacky adventures. He doesn’t deserve to go to space.
But everything always works out for Homer,
and it drives old grimy mad.
Kevin Can F himself deals with a lot of themes,
and at its core
it’s about how maddening it would be to live with someone who just is
completely uncaring, uh, idiotic,
can’t do anything for himself,
a lot like Homer most of the time.
