Eastbound & Down Audience Reviews

Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Geeky Randy HBO comedy following the adventures and misadventures of has-been pitcher Kenny Powers (McBride) trying to squeeze every last hope of ever returning to professional baseball before having to concede to a normal life. The first season immediately launches to an excellent start, with Powers being forced to return to his hometown of Shelby to be a substitute middle-school PE teacher; but about halfway through the season, the story begins to go from raunchy and crude to just downright cheap and trashy, especially when anti-hero Powers begins to get everything he wants without deserving any of it. After a very disappointing first-half of Season 2, the show begins to pick up again, but it never reaches the satisfaction found in the first three episodes of the series. Another downfall is too many funny and/or likable characters coming and going, with every co-star being a mere recurring character (except for Steve Little, who doesn't really earn his keep until the end of Season 2). Still, despite its flaws, you can almost always count on a laugh; there are even some surprisingly emotional moments during the season finales, which is not easy to do with this type of comedy. McBride's humor fits the role perfectly.*** (out of four)
joelleronny Just to tell my story.I am not a guy who watches much series, but after coming home from new 5 day party roll suddenly, I found myself in a position where sleeping was no option. Suddenly out of nowhere this strange series came to me in the middle of the night.Oh my god! How I can relate to this life, strangely enough! More funnier, real, and more down to the real earth you will never find! This is who we all want to be, not Justin Bieber!Be real, men!It doesn't get cooler than this!
Kobe Bryant If you're over sensitive or think your poop doesn't smell, you will not like this show.Outrageous, brilliant acting, extremely well written storyline.You will feel that Kenny Powers is a real person and not some great actor playing him. Bravo Danny. And the entire cast bravo.Final episode leaves an opening for another season or 2 and I pray they give it to us.I watch this show when I want to laugh and forget bad days.Will Farrell is hilarious as always.April is beautiful.Stevie is creepy as heck but lovable.Danny McBride should win some awards for his brilliant acting.Great settings.Will be sad if show is finishedLOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE IT
jfgibson73 I don't know how I will feel about this show a year from now, but after having watched all six episodes several times over, I consider it to be one of my favorite series of all time. This was just exactly my sense of humor. In the vein of Bad Santa and its anti-hero Willie, Kenny Powers is an uncompromising mess of a character that seems to say and do the most amusing thing possible in every situation. Not since Owen Wilson broke out with "Bottle Rocket" has there been a performer who can make me laugh by doing so little--it's more about his delivery than the actual material. I am deliberately not discussing any details of the show in case someone wants to discover it for themselves, but if you enjoy either of the two movies I mentioned, or other profanity-laced HBO offerings, such as Entourage (with the equally foul-mouthed Ari Gold), then try some. I think it's worth noting that both Kenny Powers and Ari Gold are both the most quotable TV characters of the decade, and certainly my two favorites.
