Kevin Can F**k Himself is an American dark comedy television series created by Valerie Armstrong, who also serves as an executive producer. It follows Allison McRoberts, a sitcom wife played by Annie Murphy, who escapes her confines and becomes the lead of her own life, using a format which blends both the multiple-camera setup typical of many mainstream American sitcoms when Allison is with her husband Kevin, and the single-camera setup more common to contemporary television when she is away from him.[1]
It premiered on AMC+ on June 13, 2021, and will debut on AMC on June 20, 2021.[2]
Dead to Me
2019
7/10
I binged this series back in 2020 during the shutdown. This is one of the series in my list that’s been sitting in limbo. Going thru Netflix and saw season 3 is debuting soon.
For whatever reason, Netflix's algorithm highly recommended me this flick back in late 2019.
I mainly watched it cuz I like looking at Christina and Linda. They look like a couple of skinny MILF's you see in Costco.
It's a dark, comedy-drama and done pretty well. It's Executive Produced by Will Ferrell.
Season 1 and are 10 episodes each that run at 30 minutes each.
For you keyboard militants, Linda has a interracial relationship with a Black cop. All they show is kissing and cuddling. There is no Gay stuff in the two seasons.
And Netflix is allowing the series to officially come to a end instead of abruptly cancelling it like they normally do on their service.
Synopsis
Jen's husband recently died in a hit-and-run, and the sardonic widow is determined to solve the crime. Optimistic free spirit Judy has recently suffered a tragic loss of her own. The ladies meet at a support group and, despite their polar-opposite personalities, become unlikely friends. As the women bond over bottles of wine and a shared affinity for "The Facts of Life," Judy tries to shield Jen from a shocking secret that could destroy her life as she knows it. The dark comedy -- which explores the weirdly funny sides of grief, loss and forgiveness.

1899
7.5/10
*warning* If You Suffer From TV ADHD, Don’t Bother Reading Forward.
If you enjoyed the Netflix series “Dark”, you will definitely enjoy this cuz this series is made by the same people.
This series deals with time, space, reality, perception and the mind. That’s the best I can do to not spoil it.
I will say the first episode is a major slow burn with character introduction. The next two episodes deal with character development and story development. Towards the end of episode 3 the series picks up pace and continues with no filler or slow time until the last scene which will definitely get you hooked into this series.
I had doubts about it cuz the trailer was interesting and I am hesitant to get into any new series cuz Netflix love’s cancelling shit abruptly.
The producers have stated this will be a 3 season run, similar to “Dark” and a conclusion has already been worked out.
“1899” Creators Have A Three Season Plan

"1899" Creators Have A Three Season Plan
Last week the creators of the acclaimed Netflix series “Dark” unleashed their new project on the streamer – “1899”. The series follows the migrant passengers and crew of the Kerberos, a steamship going from Europe to New York during that year. It soon becomes clear not everything is as it seems...
The season has 8 episodes that run about 50 minutes.
Also, hardcore fans have stated to not watch the series in English. The characters are multicultural and they speak their native tongue thru-out. Fans have stated by watching it in English it takes away from the complexity and misunderstandings between the characters. They advise watching with English subtitles and play it as the way the Producers designed it.
Fans say switch off this Netflix setting if you want ‘1899’ to make sense
It makes the show less confusing, apparently

Fans say switch off this Netflix setting if you want '1899' to make sense
It stops some scenes becoming confusing
I watched the first episode with subtitles. I’m not a subtitle person so I mainly watched the first episode to get an idea of the nationalities of the characters. I watched the other 7 episodes in English and had no issues understanding what was going on or felt like I missed something from translation.
For the Militants, there is some interracial tension between a BM/WW, nothing is shown but of them holding hands.
For the Gay Agenda trackers, there is a relationship between LM/LM. Nothing is shown graphically. There is a sexual scene between a WM/LM that isn’t graphic, but it gets to the point and it definitely ain’t pushing no agenda.
The series has a kick ass soundtrack playing the right songs at the right time.
Synopsis
Immigrants on a steamship travelling from London to New York get caught up in a mysterious riddle after finding a second vessel adrift on the open sea.

Space Force
2020
6.5/10
This is a satire sitcom of the newly formed US Space Force.
The show is funny, but its not flat out funny.
The premise of the show is Steve Carell's General Naird who is promoted to 4 star general and then drafted to head the new Space Force as it's first Chief. The show is mainly about him and his interactions with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, colleagues and his personal life that affects his decisions on his job.
The show gives comedy toward the military that active duty and veterans will get. They do a decent job of doing it so folks with no experience with the military will understand, but there are inside jokes. The scenes with the Joint Chiefs are some of the best scenes.
They make fun of politics that are involved with space exploration and various social and cultural issues. They have a female politician modelled after US Rep. Alexandria Cortez. John malkovich co-stars and gives a good performance doing a slight satire of "Dr. Strangelove".
Other actors are good and are cast well for the parts they play. Fred Willard co-stars in it and passed away before the show airs. They give a tribute at the start of episode one. Not sure how they will handle his character in season 2.
The show is laced with jokes against Trump and his wife done in a subtle way on showing how ignorant he is.
For the keyboard militants, Malkovich character is gay, nothing is shown. And there is some growing interracial tension between the black female helicopter pilot and the asian male scientist.
There is no eye candy on the show.
It's a good show to watch, not sure if you want to binge it like I did. It's no better or worse than other sitcom's out there.
There are 10 episodes at 30 minutes each.
If you are a big fan of Steve Carell's work from SNL, The Daily Show and The Office, you will enjoy this.
Synopsis
Space Force is a workplace comedy series that centers on a group of people tasked with establishing the sixth branch of the United States Armed Forces, the United States Space Force. Carell's character, Mark Naird, is the general in charge of the effort and the series follows his collaboration to get "boots on the moon" per the orders of the President.

Sweet Home
2020
6.5/10
This is a horror series that plays out more like a character drama.
It debuted around December of last year and I been watching about a episode a week.
This is a slow series. It's why I been watching about a episode a week.
It does have action and suspense in each episode, but it's not enough to hold you. This is not a series if you suffer from TV ADHD, if you suffer from it, you will not make it past episode one for sure.
The SFX and VFX is done well with the monsters and violence. The series looks godd and clean visually. The premise is interesting and it does play out well.
For the Thirsty, there are a couple of cuties in the series. No nudity or sexy outfits are worn, so don't get yourself excited.
If you looking for something to watch to stretch out over some time, this should do. There are 10 episodes that run for about 45min.
The series is from Korea and Netflix has it dubbed in English. Subtitles are used when signage is shown.
Synopsis
As humans turn into savage monsters, one troubled teenager and his neighbours fight to survive and to hold onto their humanity.

To the Lake
2020
8/10
This is a good thriller series from Russia. The series was developed and created back in 2019 long before anybody was thinking of Covid-19.
If you are a conspiracy theorist thinking the Govt is somehow involved with the virus. This is your show.
The premise is nothing new and nothing spectacular. But the series puts a new spin on the subject.
The series is mainly character based and deals with character development thru-out unlike other series like it where they do it in the first episode. Not much is given on the virus and its very rarely dealt with thru-out the series. The premise is mainly on how folks react to the event.
There is a lot of predictable moments thru-out the series, but when they happen there usually is a twist or different way it ends. There are a large number of "I Was Not Expecting That" moments thru-out. Whoever created, directed and wrote for the series plays on that thru-out which makes it interesting.
The series is very slow placed, but each episode has its moments of suspense that will keep you interested. If you suffer from TV ADHD, you will have to deal with it as the show plays out. Episode 6 gives you insight on the main characters past which will explain their behavior and relationships that happened in earlier episodes.
If you want to watch it with your girl. There is a interesting sub-plot with the main male character and the 2 women who are part of his life and he has a child with each one. Their story and how it plays out will definitely interest your girl and you.
Violence is minimal but graphic. There is female nudity with good shots of boobs, booty's and some groin area, not much for male nudity, just butt shots. There are a few sex scenes, nothing graphic or exciting.
There are 8 episodes running about 50 minutes each. Being this is a very slow paced show, I would not recommend binge watching it. It took me the past 3 weeks to view all the episodes to allow me to watch and soak them in. I usually watched 1 or 2 episodes a sitting.
Netflix has it dubbed in English. When you start watching it, the voices don't seem to match up with the characters look. It kind of has the feel of those 1970s era Kung-Fu flick. You get over it by the end of episode 2.
If you looking for something interesting to watch being not much new is coming out on network TV, theaters or anywhere else, this should hold you over.
And with the last scene and some other events in the season finale, it looks like season 2 is gonna kick it into full gear with action.
Synopsis
Faced with a terrifying virus that turns Moscow into a city of the dead, survivors set off on a long, dangerous journey north to find an isolated hunting lodge on a deserted island.
