Oh there is more coming from him. Its brilliant the way they use him in the series.tragabigzanda wrote:I'm really hoping that the drug-dealing kid who takes care of his grandad becomes a regular character.

Some of these characters are so ridiculous and cartoony that it's starting to remind me more of eastbound and down.

One thing I like a little more about VP over Eastbound is that there is a counter to McBride's dominant personality. Goggins is just as much alpha male so it's a different dynamic than KP and Stevie.

Yeah, that's how it was always going to be.
This show was one of the funniest things ever though.
