I Will Die A Free Man On My Feet Before I Become A Commie On My Knees Shirt, hoodie, tank top

Note: “Live Free or Die” is currently available to stream on AMC+; its broadcast premiere on AMC is July 4, 2021.

Three episodes in, Kevin Can F**k Himself has been intentional about the distinct boundaries between its sitcom and drama halves. The number of cameras is different, the lighting is different, the writing tone and content are different, Annie Murphy’s performance is different. The Kevin Can F**k Himself that cues up a laugh track for every terrible joke Kevin and Neil make about the New England Patriots or Good Will Hunting is not the same show that follows Allison to Sam’s AA meeting and puts her through the agony of meeting his seemingly perfect wife while Allison emphatically bites into the one food item we’ve seen her enjoy so far: the humble powdered-sugar doughnut. The former scene is defined by irritation, the latter by low-key tragedy, and how the former causes the latter is what creator Valerie Armstrong and showrunner Craig DiGregorio have been emphasizing and exploring with all this single-cam versus multi-cam experimentation.
