Eastbound & Down: The Complete Second Season



Can't Wait for DVD
Admittedly it took a couple of episodes to realize that Kenny could go darker and more screwed up than he was in Season One. Once I got there, it was fun to anticipate if Kenny was going to emerge a changed man. All the twists and turns were hysterical and even though you wanted to smack Kenny upside the head, you couldn't help but cheer him on. All in all, nothing could beat the first season for sheer in your face uniqueness. Season two has it's own charm in the fact that we viewers must journey with Kenny as he keeps some dreams and sheds others. Not so different from real life. The season finale was one that most didn't see coming. What a cliffhanger!

You must get the DVD if you're a hardcore Kenny Powers fan. Can't wait to season two again to discover all the things I missed in the HBO presentation!!

He befriends little people and giants alike, and then makes mortal enemies of them
Belligerent, brash, and completely unhinged- this is Kenny Powers at his finest. If you're not familiar with the show, be warned: This program is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended. If you are not familiar with Danny McBride's perpetual typecasting (I wonder if he's even acting at this point in his career, or just being himself?), watch this show at your own mortal peril. As an FYI, the Blu-ray video quality is superb (and the packaging is hilarious).

Amazingly, the second season of Eastbound and Down manages to maintain the standard of hilarity that the first one established, and even SURPASSES it. This is particularly impressive, considering that this season could not rely upon the crowd-pleasing presence of Will Ferrell, prancing about his BMW dealership in a white wig.

One must be careful, however- if you watch too much of this show in one sitting, Kenny Powers' attitude WILL rub off on you! And you absolutely cannot show up to the office...

LOL
LOVE this show, and originally watched it on HBO. The set has great extras, and was well worth the price (got it on Black Friday deal). This is one series where you can go back to it from time to time to watch, and still REALLY laugh.
