* When planning Kevin's murder via bungled robbery with Nick, Allison says she will go stay with her mother out of town to get out of the house while it happens, and mentions that she often visits her around that time every year. It makes you wonder why Allison doesn't just divorce Kevin and stay with her mom, since having no place to go was one of the factors trapping her in her marriage. Season two's "Ghost" answers this: Allison's mother Donna appears in a flashback and is revealed to have her own sitcom filter just like Kevin, and spends her brief scene verbally tearing down Allison's self-esteem. Allison would just be trading one abusive situation for another.

* The one glimpse we have of Kevin in the real world is very ''terrifying''. He's not just an insensitive idiot who accidentally harms others, but a knowing abuser who physically and financially threatens his wife for defying him. It makes you wonder what those sitcom scenes ''really'' looked like ...

* Why did it take until Allison asking for a divorce for Kevin to get out of the sitcom framing as opposed to anyone else cutting ties? Sitcoms typically require an ensemble cast, which is referenced in Kevin becoming disturbed when he’s the only person in the room. As long as he had someone else to engage with, the sitcom framing would stay up, but as soon as he becomes alone for good, his life can no longer be a sitcom.

* It’s extremely fitting that Kevin died as soon as he got out of his sitcom framing by his own hand. Similar to how there was no profanity in the sitcom setup, there was also no death (Even Nick was put into a coma and didn’t die until the final episode), and once he was taken into the show’s larger framing, that plot armor was gone, and with the kind of stuff he does, he was going to eventually do something fatal.
