Upon losing his speed after the mysterious accident he has, Kenny Powers, a well-known baseball trainer who has achieved a great success, struggles against returning to his homeland with his brother, where he has to work as a local gym trainer, the thing that affects badly on him and breaks his dreams and ambition.
A far cry from the cerebral comedy currently en vogue on shows like The Office and 30 Rock, but that doesn't mean Eastbound can't do sly humor that falls left of center.
The comedy - and, oh, there is much of it - comes less from sight gags or clever one-liners as it does from the sheer absurdity of what transpires and the ever-increasing ability for Powers to sink lower and fail more grandly from episode to episode.
