Yeah this is where I'm at, Gemstones genuinely has a great story that sucks you in but VP is funnier (don't get me wrong, Gemstones is still probably the most I've laughed at a show in months) I honestly think Eastbound and the Kenny Powers character will forever be McBride's magnum opus though
Goggins made this show for me. His character was better than McBrides, which is impossible, but some how pulled off.
What's the consensus on this show? Just about done with season 2 and I don't like it near as much as season 1.
Just re-watched this with my wife earlier this year. It's my least-favorite McBride/Hill show but it's still very good. Season one had a better overall story arch but season two has it's moments. Who doesn't love Edi Patterson?
Season 1 of EB&D and final season are much better than any Gemstones season in my opinion. But the in-between seasons aren't as great. Gemstones has been great and consistent so its a toughie.
All 3 shows are great, but nothing even comes close to EBD for me - stone cold classic and by far his best character
Happy to report that season 2 won me over by the end. I just thought it was a measure more absurd than season 1, but it ended up working out.
