kevin can f--- himself (2021)

Season 1 is out on AMC+ which isn't a full platform but a service you can access through Apple TV, Amazon Prime, or I think if you have cable you automatically get access. The promotional material basically covers the premise -- Allison (Annie Murphy, Alexis on Schitts' Creek) is the longsuffering wife of a typical sitcom buffoon, Kevin. The show is split between sitcom (when Kevin is onsite) and dark drama (when Annie, and later, other characters, are away from him).

Everyone, including Kevin most times, is layered and given depth. If you look on tumblr-esque spots, I'm sure you'll be spoiled for one of the biggest reasons for my recommendation, but I almost suggest that you go in blind. That said, if you want to know, I'm happy to share.
