East Bound and Down - "Pilot" Review



A new show? On HBO? Come on I have to give it a chance!

East Bound and Down, a new comedy starring emerging star Danny McBride (re. Best part of the show, it being on premium television means that swears are more than welcome, and this show seems to take full advantage of this fact.

So, in the pilot episode of this show, Kenny Powers, our protagonist of many flaws, once lived the life of a pro athlete. Unfortunately after making it big, he goes on a downward spiral until he finally hits rock bottom.

The montage of his career in the big league was hilarious, and referring to New York as “Jew York” was a highlight for sure.

Moving in with his brother so far has set up for some hilarious moments. His interactions with his wife and the kids are already comedic gold (especially that night he came home after the bar).

When it comes to this show, so far, so good! I can't wait until next week.

It should be noted that Will Farrell is the executive producer of the show, and I can not wait until he guest stars.
