Eastbound and Down

[Zarathustra]

If you like Danny McBride, Will Ferrell, Craig Robinson and their brand of humor, you might like this HBO series. I just streamed the first season over the weekend, and it's hilarious. Classic loser-humor, anti-hero comedy. An asshole you can't help but sympathize with by the end of the 1st season.

From IMBD:

Tagline: Every kid has a baseball player to look up to. Kenny Powers is not that guy.

Story: Kenny Powers was poised to rule the Big Leagues, but two things got in the way: his fading fastball and his insufferable personality. After a spectacular career flame-out, Kenny goes home to Shelby County, NC, to nurse his wounds and work as a gym teacher at his old middle school.
