More details about Eastbound & Down and where you can watch

Eastbound & Down is a blisteringly bold HBO comedy series (2009–2013) that shocked audiences with its unapologetically outrageous lead character and unfiltered humor. The show stars Danny McBride as Kenny Powers, a former big-league baseball pitcher whose ego, drug and alcohol abuse, and reckless behavior lead to a spectacular professional fall from grace. Returning to his small hometown, Kenny takes a job as a middle-school gym teacher, where his antics continue to alienate and entertain in equal measure. With production by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, the show mixes dark comedy, absurd scenarios, and sharp satire on fame, masculinity, and failure. Critics praised its bold writing and comic fearlessness, while viewers remain divided over its crude yet unforgettable style.
