Few television shows have a title as declaratively bold as Kevin Can Fuck Himself. AMC's meta dark comedy explores the other side of the coin when it comes to the disgruntled, no-nonsense sitcom wife who must suffer the ever-loathsome tirades of her hijinks-friendly husband's boorish, live studio audience-friendly lifestyle, providing an intriguing and unconventional take on this familiar template. Starring Schitt's Creek's Annie Murphy as our beleaguered, revenge-seeking protagonist, this promising new series is sure to give many well-worn situational comedies a swift (and long overdue) kick in the pants in its seething take-down of tired tropes and broadly outdated characterizations. And it has several talented actors attached, including Eric Petersen and Brian Howe. If you're wondering why this sitcom/anti-sitcom ensemble looks familiar, we can help! Here's where you've seen the Kevin Can F**k Himself cast before.
