all the bad reviews on here are only based on the FIRST episode! That's not enough to review a show, they clearly have an issue with the actors or writers. When i first heard about the show i was very exited, being a fan of will Ferrell and Adam McKay and being newly introduced to Danny McBride in pineapple express, i was thrilled from the start. i watched the first episode premiere and although i was somewhat disappointed i gave it another chance because well, it was the first episode! after the second episode i watched the show every week till it ended, yet i kept playing the images in my head and the quotes and it was even more hilarious. This show really grows on you and you cant help but say one of Kenny Powers' ridiculous quotes to someone even tho they have no idea what you are talking about and you laugh even harder.
This is a show you can watch alone and still laugh your butt off. This is a show you want everyone you know to know about but secretly want to keep it to yourself. If you haven't seen this show yet you are really missing out on a great show. keep an open mind and enjoy, i know you wont be disappointed

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!
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.
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.
Excellent new show . Great acting by McBride. Great job for Will Ferrel.. And I am not even a big Will Ferrel fan. He certainly shines as the architect of this series. This is a fun show and obviously based loosely on fallen Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker. A has been , egotistical, arrogant ,horny, foul mouthed clod winds up as a P.E. teacher in a middle school while still yearning the spotlight. Living with his straight laced older brothers family with 3 children. There are so many comedic situations that can arise from this situation. It is just unbelievable how HBO turns in so many top notch, entertaining projects. This show is well acted by all . Watch this and you shall be impressed.
