Another week in the bag! Well done all. Today’s game is simple… summarise a tv show in one sentence and other people guess it. Have fun!

Haha fair enough, it felt like it could have been a dark twist.
Kevin Can Go F**k Himself is really interesting though, and I definitely recommend it. In many ways a dark satire and criticism of King of Queens specifically, but also all of those “goofy” sitcoms with a lead who’s an incompetent funny guy.
I don’t want to reveal too much though because I think it’s best to experience it without prep, but please be warned it can be jarring.
Do you need to know King of Queens before watching the other one?
If you’re passingly familiar with the tropes present in any husband-and-wife sitcom and enjoy dark comedies, I think you’ll appreciate the genre deconstruction without any confusion.
That being said, the show bears a strong resemblance to King of Queens, its spiritual successor Kevin Can Wait, and to a lesser extent Roseanne, containing a handful of references to those shows. Having watched all those made me enjoy this show even more.
Kevin Can F**k Himself* is like King of Queens meets Death Note and I love it.

Basically Carrie and Roseanne teaming up to become a crime duo is something I never knew I needed.
