Many audiences want to see more television series starring women and stories that subvert the conventions of their genres. Kevin Can F**k Himself is a TV show that does both of these things as it subverts the elements of the sitcom genre and tells a female-driven story, showing what life is like for Allison (played by Annie Murphy) when she's not playing the role of the stereotypical sitcom wife.

As fans watch the second and final season of Kevin Can F**k Himself, there are other series that they can also watch and enjoy. These other series are similar in their focus on complex and female-driven stories, how they cleverly manipulate the conventions of their respective genres, or the inclusion of Annie Murphy.

WandaVision

On the surface, sitcoms offer light, funny, feel-good stories. WandaVision and Kevin Can F**k Himself dig below that surface, using the tropes of the genre in an eerie and powerful way. The stereotypical sitcom wife becomes the center of both stories instead of just being the butt of many sexist jokes.

The two shows have different reasons for manipulating what audiences expect from the sitcom genre, but both of them subvert the genre in fascinating ways that are unsettling, thought-provoking, surprising, and at times genuinely funny.

Dead To Me

Those who enjoy the friendship of Allison and Patty in Kevin Can F**k Himself will also enjoy the friendship of Jen and Judy in Dead To Me. Both series feature women who have been mistreated, manipulated, and taken for granted by the men in their life.

Through the unlikely friendships they form with each other, these women refuse to further compromise their dreams and their identities for the men in their lives. Both series are dark comedies that deal with murder and sometimes have absurd moments, but both are ultimately grounded by the heart and development of the female friendships driving the story.

Killing Eve

Killing Eve Season 2 Finale Sandra Oh Jodie Comer

There are parallels between the unlikely, complex, and sometimes volatile relationships of Allison and Patty and the relationship of Eve and Villanelle in Killing Eve. In many ways, Allison is also a combination of Eve and Villanelle. Like Eve, she is dissatisfied with her life and her marriage--albeit for different reasons--and craves a more exciting, daring, and free existence.

As they break away from the lives they've known, Eve and Allison discover a ruthlessness and audacity they never knew they had in them. Allison is also like Villanelle through the value she places on her relationship with another woman (Eve for Villanelle and Patty for Allison) and the emotional dependency placed on this relationship, not to mention the sometimes playful, yet fierce nature of Villanelle and Allison's personalities.

Schitt's Creek

Those who want to see more of Annie Murphy's acting after watching her captivating performance as Allison should check out Schitt's Creek. Murphy is best known for playing the role of Alexis Rose throughout the show's 6 seasons.

The many differences between Allison and Alexis demonstrates Murphy's talent and her range as an actor. She brings distinct comedic chops to both roles that fit the tone of each series. It is through her stellar acting that audiences can buy into the rich character development of both Allison and Alexis.

The Flight Attendant

Just as most audiences associated Annie Murphy with the comedy Schitt's Creek before seeing her in Kevin Can F**k Himself, most audiences associated Kaley Cuoco with the comedy The Big Bang Theory before seeing her in The Flight Attendant. Cuoco imbues the character of Cassie with some comedy while also delivering a nuanced performance.

The Flight Attendant and Kevin Can F**k Himself are unafraid to explore women who are "messy" and who don't fit the archetypes of leading female characters in television. Allison and Cassie are flawed in ways that make them feel like authentic and relatable characters. They find themselves in worlds where they feel like they don't belong, yet they manage to navigate through it, all while growing as characters.

Russian Doll

Russian Doll tells the story of Nadia, a character stuck in a loop of living the same events over and over again, which always culminates in her dying and waking up to relive the same events over again. Allison may not be literally experiencing a loop like this in Kevin Can F**k Himself, but it certainly feels like it as every day is the same joyless existence where she is made to feel like Kevin is the only one that matters.

Just as Nadia must break out of the loop in Russian Doll, Allison realizes she must break out of the loop she is living. As if this parallel isn't enough reason to watch, the mysterious second season of Russian Doll also features Annie Murphy.

Hacks

Like Kevin Can F**k Himself, Hacks is able to perfectly balance its humor and its exploration of more serious topics. In addition to this tonal similarity, there is the relationship at the core of each show.

The dark mentorship that legendary comedian Deborah Vance forms with comedy writer Ava Daniels mirrors the relationship between Allison and Patty in certain ways. The women in each of these relationships help each other grow, but there is also an undeniable level of toxicity in these relationships as well.

Black Mirror

Many of the best Black Mirror episodes challenge the expectations of the audience and reveal that everything is not what it seems. This is also the case in Kevin Can F**k Himself through the contrast of the sitcom starring Kevin and the reality that Allison is living. A Black Mirror episode somewhat akin to this is "USS Callister" through the contrast of Robert Daly's real life and the world he's created aboard the fictional USS Callister.

However, the Black Mirror episode that will most strongly resonate with fans of Kevin Can F**k Himself is "Nosedive." The episode deals with impossible societal expectations and pressures through the lens of Bryce Dallas Howard's character Lacie. No matter how perfect Lacie tries to be and no matter what she does, it is never good enough, which is very similar to what Allison goes through in Kevin Can F**k Himself, ultimately pushing both Lacie and Allison to liberating breaking points.

BoJack Horseman

BoJack Horseman and Kevin Can F**k Himself are both dark comedies that examine uncomfortable truths about the sitcom genre. Kevin Can F**k Himself does this by confronting the inherent sexism and misogyny in most sitcoms. BoJack Horseman does this by exploring what life is like years later for sitcom stars after their days of glory and fame are long gone.

Most people don't want to think about the problematic humor of many sitcoms and the dark path that many sitcoms stars go down offscreen, but both these shows fearlessly explore these topics in ways that are thoughtful, heartfelt, and surprisingly funny.

The Boys

The Boys Queen Maeve and Starlight

Despite being called The Boys, this series features many complex female characters whose stories explore how women are unfairly and shallowly portrayed in media, especially when it comes to the superhero genre. In this way and many others, The Boys constantly subverts the tropes of the superhero genre in equally shocking, powerful, and hilarious fashion.

Fans of Allison and Patty will also love the characters of Starlight/Annie, Maeve, and Kimiko. There are a number of parallels in the development of Patty and Allison's relationship to the relationship of Annie and Maeve. Patty initially pities Allison and Mave initially pities Annie, yet Patty and Maeve are ultimately inspired by these women, and they develop a friendship where they empower each other.
