Kevin Can F**k Himself got dark in its second and final season. The finale was when it really took a dark turn, maybe for the worst for one of the lead characters.
Spoilers below, so if you missed the finale mid October, then stopping reading now. But first the trailer for season two...
Six months later after the moments of episode seven. Allison has moved to Danforth, Maine. Kevin has a new girlfriend named Molly, played by Erinn Hayes. While most of Worcester presumes that Allison is dead, after faking her own death.
Tammy visits Allison, having tailed her after she went missing, and reveals that Nick has died and that the department is dropping his case. Tammy quits her job and urges Patty to move away from Worcester with her; Patty refuses, and the two break up.
Pete, tired of Kevin's behavior, moves out to live with Lorraine in Florida, but he refuses to disclose Lorraine's address to Kevin. Kevin walks in on Neil and Diane kissing and mocks them; later at a bar, Neil retorts that he is sick of Kevin's mistreatment and tells him to leave.
Neil confesses his love to Diane, but she rebuffs him, stating it is not her job to make him a better person. Neil later moves out of Patty's house.
Allison returns to Worcester and warns Molly about Kevin's behavior. Allison then goes home and tells Kevin that she wants a divorce. Kevin is initially confused, and then reacts violently, threatening to ruin her life.
After Allison leaves, Kevin drinks heavily and begins burning Allison’s belongings; he calls Pete, Neil, and Molly to help him, but nobody answers their phones. After Kevin passes out in a drunken stupor, the fire spreads and engulfs the house, which is witnessed by the whole neighborhood, including Patty and Neil.
With Kevin dead, Patty sits on the steps of the now burned-down house and is joined by Allison; they tearfully embrace, and Allison reveals that she wants to stay in Worcester. They both watch the sunrise, ready for a new future without Kevin.
The finale was bitter sweet. It served as a good wrap up, whilst I will miss this series as this is one time creators got it right. It was a grand idea, however two seasons was long enough. Long enough for the story to be told, short enough that there could have been another season or movie length episode.
Summer Slack Streaming continues soon with the latest run of Jack Ryan episodes and UK hit comedy The Flatshare.
