What I like about it: comes from a good place with sincere effort, Patty
What I don’t like about it: format doesn’t have legs, unlikeable characters, never a good idea to give your show an unbroadcastable title
Review:
It probably wasn’t the best idea to create a television series solely to shitpost about the quickly cancelled and forgotten 2019 sitcom Kevin Can Wait but that’s what we have here. Fuelled by a righteous hatred of Kevin James, this show follows the “long-suffering” wife character in all of his sitcoms as she breaks away from his multicamera antics and into her own single-camera crime drama as she plans to murder him. The formats never mesh and the show proves to be a bad example of both, though it does make some good points about the sitcom character type of the pushy buffoon – “He’s not incapable, he just wants you to believe he is so you’ll pay his rent and bail him out for 30 years.”, along with “The world is made for men like Kevin.”
