Kenny Powers

Eastbound & Down is easily one of the most underrated comedies of all-time! It follows an ex baseball player named Kenny Powers (Danny McBride) who is a substance abuser and self destructive a-hole. He's now a physical education teacher in his hometown of North Carolina and gets another chance a the big leagues. He has to go to Mexico where he gets his major league abilities back. He comes back a changed man, or not. Danny McBride doesn't get enough credit for how funny he is. He's one of the funniest comedians working today. The executive producers in this are Will Ferrell and Adam McKay so if you like that kind of comedy then give this a try because you'll love it.

Eastbound & Down is absolutely hilarious! It's one of the funnier shows you'll ever see and will literally make you laugh out loud. Danny McBride is so underrated as a comedian and he is perfect in this!

Just for kicks I started rewatching this series. Literally forgot how hilarious Danny McBride is. His delivery of lines is so on point - comic genius. The whole cast rocks.

Maybe it was the first two episodes - but, I wasn't really hooked by them. I came back to the series - and it turned into one of the funniest series I have ever seen. There are some cameo performances by the likes of Don Johnson, Matthew MaConaughey and Sacha Baron-Cohen. It is ironic that SBC was in this series - as he appeared to do something similar with Brothers Grimsby in a British context, but fell so short, sadly, of the standards achieved in E&D.

Stick with E&D - it is remarkable - crass, but laugh-out-loud funny and still manages to be endearing. Kenny Powers' utterings are so politically incorrect it is more of a lens on the kind of folk who genuinely come out with such cringe-making observations.

This series deserves much wider appreciation as it is a stand-out piece of work that amazingly gets better and better./

One of the funniest shows ever produced by HBO. Danny Mcbride at his best. You have to be a fan of his comedy to like the show as it's all about him. Any fans of Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill etc will enjoy it. It's hilarious, weird and sometimes messed up but it's funny as hell and you should love it.
