About

"A washed-up voice's messy, foulmouthed comeback tour"

Jim Brockmire was once a rising baseball play-by-play star until a live on-air meltdown, filmed after discovering his wife's infidelity, torched his career. Years later he resurfaces in a tiny minor league town trying to rebuild his life and reputation. The show is a foul-mouthed, rapid-fire comedy about addiction, shame, and self-sabotage, carried almost entirely by Hank Azaria's manic, wounded performance. It's raunchier and sadder than its baseball-comedy premise suggests, with real emotional stakes underneath the profanity, and it moves fast across its short seasons, often skipping years between them.

Watch it for

Hank Azaria's ferociously funny, surprisingly heartbreaking performance as a self-destructive has-been.

Maybe skip if

you're put off by nonstop profanity and dark, addiction-heavy comedy.
