HBO: Bored To Death and Eastbound & Down return

HBO have announced that Bored To Death and Eastbound & Down will both start their second seasons on 26 September. I caught the pilot of this Jason Schwartzman-led modern-day detective noir, but it did exactly what it says on the tin, so I gave up.

Eastbound & Down was a show I didn't like for the first few episodes (mainly because Danny McBride isn't someone I warm to easily), but then it started to work its ribald charm on me, and I grew to enjoy it. It never reached its full potential, but there was promise. I'm probably going to wait for FX to pick it up in the UK, so my reviews are a long way off yet.
