Annie Murphy starrer "Kevin Can F**k Himself" will be back for a second season. AMC has renewed the series from creator Valerie Armstrong and executive producers Rashida Jones and Will McCormack (Claws). The eight-episode second season is slated to premiere on AMC+ and AMC next year.

The renewal follows a strong first season. It was the most watched series on AMC+ and top acquisition driver for the premium streaming bundle across all major distribution platforms.

This show is absolutely bizarre. It is sort of a season of a Black Mirror episode. I don’t know if I like the show or not, I think “creepy” might be the best term. It does show how unrealistic and silly the modern network sitcom is. But the wife lives in both Worlds of a sitcom and reality. I basically skip over most of the sitcom part and just watch the drama.

I am sort of surprised that Chuck Lorre hasn’t sued the show, since the set is exactly like Everybody Loves Raymond, even though the inspiration was “Kevin Can Wait” which I never saw.

Also, to people of New England in general and Massachusetts in particular, is your area just dreary and depressing? I have seen shows from there and the people seem miserable. Adding to the wife’s misery besides being married to a immature idiot is living in some town in Massachusetts at the age where it would be difficult to pick up and leave. But the couple doesn’t have any children so she could easily do that. But again, I think the sitcom part is a delusion on her part.

Anyone else watching this?

i got about halfway through the first season, but the show really drags on and the sitcom scenes are so completely annoying that you are REALLY rooting for Annie to kill that stupid husband - but it seemed like she's just too incompetent to actually get the job done and I was tired of waiting.

I LOVE this dark comedy! Granted, the first three episodes are sluggish as hell, but it really takes off after that. I love the way they are destroying all of the sitcom tropes and focusing on how awful it would be to be married to one of these guys in real life. Allison's breakdown is darkly hilarious in it's own right when she decides that homicide is the only way out of her situation.

I love the latent friendship between Allison and her neighbor, Patty. I am so curious as where they are going to take things after the season finale's cliffhanger.

Yes, Worchester, MA is that depressing.
