Explore the secret life of a woman we all grew up watching: the sitcom wife. The series looks to break television convention and ask what the world looks like through her eyes. Alternating between single-camera realism and multi-camera zaniness, the formats will inform one another as we imagine what happens when the sitcom wife escapes her confines, and takes the lead in her own life.
Eh, sorta? An abused woman treats those around her poorly sometimes, she uses and manipulates them, roping them into potentially dangerous situation, mostly out of sheer desperation to be free from her abuser.
Premise of the show revolves around an abusive relationship: The typical self-absorbed sitcom husband and his beleaguered wife, who he frequently emotionally abuses. Gaslighting is a *huge* part of that dynamic.
no, only obviously fake props. an obviously plushie/toy horse head is left on a car with fake blood, skip forward about 30 seconds when Kevin says, "Justice, Dad." or after the reporter/interviewer leaves the Worcester Chronicle
S1 E1 - cockroach seen and squashed after 03:00 minute mark, cleaning up over by 04:04. And another cockroach seen at 27:27 squashed quickly and clean up over by 28:07.
I’m marking no but there is arguable mental torture. A character is emotionally abused by her husband and his friends. She feels trapped in the situation.
Kinda but they don’t die. (SPOILERS) They fake their death to protect others, but it means they have to sacrifice their friends, their home, everything they own, etc.
(Warning: Spoilers) In the series finale, a major character dies. (Warning: More Specific Spoilers) They’re not a particularly likeable character. (Warning: Explicit Spoilers) It’s Kevin. (/Spoilers)
final episode! i'm pretty sensitive to vomit scenes in media and i don't recall seeing any of those actual scenes, just some characters getting close and some jokes about it. i believe people only voted yes because of the scene where a character looks like she will get carsick and that one time Kevin swallowed a key and kept gagging on it.
Eh, sort of. Sports memorabilia (a sweatshirt worn but a beloved famous athlete, for example) is destroyed. Prized possessions are destroyed a few times in the series.
A character drives drunk, crashes into a tree, and later has a conversation with another character about how out of control things felt and how they were stuck in their situation until they died. Not necessarily a direct attempt but can definitely be seen as one.
Yes but not canonically, if that makes sense. The series cycles between two sort of “realities.” One is a sitcom-like reality with a laugh track and the other is a darker, more realistic reality.
No, but a recurring joke is when kevin has a “stroke of genius” he shouts “stroke!” which some characters misunderstand, and assume he is having a stroke.
[SPOILERS] one character shoots another during a home invasion, seen off-screen but heard. the consequences of this are talked about throughout parts of the show
