What I’m Watching: Kevin Can F**k Himself

Kevin Can F**k Himself: Season 2, Episode 5 “The Unreliable Narrator” (B+)

It’s always interesting to me when other characters get to interact with Kevin and see him for who he truly is, and it’s seeming like more and more people understand just how awful he is and how, at best, he always has to make everything about himself. Thinking that he somehow knew how to help Sam with his marriage was absurd, though he does seem to have an idea of the things he shouldn’t be doing even though he does them all the time. Accusing everyone of taking the generator after he was the one who took out the power was typically self-involved and delusional, and it was no surprise that Neil found comfort once again in Diane. Like Allison, she’s also in an unhappy marriage that she’s trying to get out of but realizes may not be possible, though Allison fortunately has help from both Sam and Patty, who care for her and are starting to see that this really might be the best option. Patty did seem to appreciate that Allison noticed her haircut and was being generally more tuned-in to her own needs, and the way that they both noted that they wouldn’t live next to each other anymore, because Allison wouldn’t live there either, made it all feel very finite. Patty moving in with Tammy probably isn’t a great idea, but we’ll see if those cops end up mentioning their mid-blackout run-in with her and Allison, which could make things hard for her to explain to her new roommate.
