    The jokes take of on all sorts of unexpected trajectories--foul balls that score. [12 Mar 2012, p.45]

    Danny McBride's Kenny Powers is back for a wild third season.

    Eastbound & Down holds together so well that it's worth looking past the ugly for the solid performances and the charcoal-black humor beneath, particularly in the final episodes, which delve into Powers's family history.

    McBride celebrates the Southern-fried dirtball culture of flyover America like some "Red State Diaries"; it's a veritable HBO "Hee-Haw."

Now with Jason Sedakis as Kenny's right hand man, it took this show to another level along with bringing back season 1 love interest, April.
