Season 2
Every kid has a baseball player to look up to. Kenny Powers is not that guy.
Synopsis
Eastbound & Down (2010), Season 2 is the seven-episode HBO comedy you can watch online on iFILM, and it drops Kenny Powers somewhere he never planned to be: a dusty town deep in Mexico.
Spurned by the majors and humiliated back home, he runs south to disappear. For a while it works. Nobody recognizes the loudmouth gringo, so he hides behind a fake name, gets adopted by a kind neighbor family, and falls hard for Vida, a singer at the local bar. Then the old hunger creeps back. Rich team owner Sebastian Cisneros signs him to the Charros and bankrolls a full comeback, but the fans won't cheer on command, and Kenny has to manufacture his legend from scratch. Across the season he juggles debts, jealousy, and unfinished business before deciding whether the man he became down here is the man he wants to stay.
The tone shifts. After the manic first season, this run is quieter and a little sad, leaning into the person under the bravado. McBride is still impossible and still hilarious. Stream Eastbound & Down Season 2 online on iFILM.
