Critic Reviews

Ken Tucker

What lifts Eastbound & Down away from mere crudball humor is McBride's ongoing love affair with the lower middle class. Read full review

Linda Stasi

If you thought "Tropic Thunder" was the funniest movie of the year and that everything Will Ferrell touches makes you laugh until you squirt Diet Pepsi out of your nose, then you will love Eastbound & Down. Read full review

Nancy Franklin

McBride is comfortable improvising, and in Eastbound there’s a lot of pleasurable tension in watching Kenny create difficult situations with his poor judgment and get out of them with his escape artist’s quick brain. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

I can't say the pilot struck me as especially funny, but there are good things and talented people in it, and it looks good. Read full review

Ginia Bellafante

Eastbound & Down feels static. Read full review

Glenn Garvin

Drugs. Pratfalls. Bodily excretions. Sexual crudity. Shock-jock ethnic humor. Four-letter words flying like lead in a matineee Western. Character development and story? Not so much. Read full review

Tim Goodman

It seems like a middling Fox series with a monotonous glut of obscenities and some nudity tossed in to make it pay-cable worthy. Read full review

The best crude sports fan humor put together in my time. Slapshot for hockey is a given, but now Danny McBride gives Charlie Sheen a run for his money!!! My favorite HBO comedy yet.

Funniest show ever. Laughed so hard I almost pissed myself. If you don't like this show then your probably a big fan of Oprah or some other fag show.

This is the funniest show I've ever seen a series be made out of! I'm so glad they picked it up for a second season. Everyone that's ever seen an episode while over here loves it. I hope they keep it for a long time!

Hilarious! I am reminded of my home town when I watch this show. Some may find the character development absurd, yet I find myself reminded of particular people and situations each time I tune in. If you're from a small "redneck" town, Eastbound & Down will be entertaining at the least.

Hillarious, Very well written and suprisingly at times heart felt, Eastbound and down is a rare example of a comedy show that gets better, more rude and more entertaining

28 minutes and 50 seconds that I will NEVER get back. Embarrassing to watch. Directly squarely and between the eyes at pre-pubescent boys. Image how John Hawkes feels coming from such a quality show as Deadwood and now having to play the older brother in this. Sad!
