Honestly the one star reviews are from people who haven't actually watched the show or more then likely watch tv while multitasking. This is actually rather clever. Even the laugh track in Kevin's idealized sitcom world laughs mostly for him and might give his put upon wife a few chuckles. But this bright and shiny world belongs to Kevin. Its a world where he gets to be a man-child with no repercussions.
Then it switches to what Allison sees. A world of shadows and darkness where she wonders why she put up with Kevin for so long. But to her the marriage is still salvagable until she finds out that Kevin spent all their savings on sports crap and didn't tell her. The first two episodes are Allison starting to see the cracks in her marriage and her coming up with a general plan to kill Kevin because it is easier then divorcing him. But also looking for someone to listen to her while she rants even though most of the people she talks to try to give her advice (good and bad) that she does not want to hear.
This is the story of what happens to that sitcom wife when she gets tired of playing the "boring one" in her husband's fantasy life. Kevin may be the star but the story is about Allison. Everyone giving it one star is either being overly harsh or watched until the first laugh track and then shut it off thinking the show was stupid.
