Episode Summary & Review

Summary

After Kenny sets Stevie up to take the rap for his own alcohol fueled car crash, Kenny hires Stevie as his assistant. Thinking it’s worth a lot of money, Kenny has his sister in-law Cassie list memorabilia from his baseball career on eBay, and he begins training and using steroids again.

Our Take

A step down from the first two episodes, mostly because the jokes about Kenny’s ego are starting to repeat themselves. The eBay subplot gets some good cringes out of how little his career is actually worth, and Danny McBride still sells every awful decision, but the pacing drags in the middle. Fine if you’re already on board, but nothing here will win anyone new over.
