Eastbound & Down: The Complete Second Season

Underneath all the lines of coke, sex and ridiculous mullets there’s actually a really touching story in HBO’s Eastbound & Down. A once great star who’s lost the love of his life tries to pick up the pieces and get it all back, and that would make for a really emotional journey if the protagonist wasn’t Kenny “effin” Powers.  Even if you didn’t see the first season of Danny McBride’s comedy, run out and pick up the second season on Blu-ray. You’ll fill in the background soon enough, but you’ll quickly enjoy Kenny’s escapades in Mexico which include entering the stadium and being taken to the mound in a donkey-pulled cart and his new cornrowed mullet. If you’re looking for “Field of Dreams” type stuff look elsewhere; if you want to watch the most loveable asshole playing the game, Kenny Powers is your guy.
