Finally finished it and it was good. I liked it.

Stevie and Shane were by far my two favorites.

I agree with yall season 1 was the best, season 2 was so so, and I really liked seasons 3 and 4, especially 3.

Overall, funny and solid.

I prefer it honestly. But then, it has Walt Goggins so easy choice.

Season 1 is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Agree about the other seasons.

Wasn't his entire character based off of John Rocker? Thought I read that somewhere.

And yet you’ve definitely got a knack for playing people who are hard to like. Kenny Powers isn’t so different from Fred Simmons, your character in “The Foot Fist Way.”

Yeah, it definitely sprung from “Foot Fist Way.” It wasn’t like up until that point Jody and I had only written about anti-heroes. That was sort of a new concept that Jody and I, when we started writing it, hadn’t been reflected in the other stuff we had worked on individually at that point. As we started writing that character, his confidence started to be something that we were really digging at.

Obviously, I’m playing the guy, so he’s not going to be good at martial arts. I’m not in shape, I’m not good-looking, and so this dichotomy started coming out of it where we had this guy who was just full of fricking hot air and being an a-hole to everyone. Creatively, we started to really get into it.

At the end of the day, it’s not just about this guy being a son of a bitch; it’s about something deeper. I think we just started to scrape the surface with “Foot Fist Way.” We only had like three weeks to shoot that. When it was done, Jody and I were like, “We want more of that.”

We thought about it. Was it a movie? Well, an hour and a half movie with that character would follow all the same beats as “Foot Fist Way.” It’ll just be a different dressing of the same guy. With a TV series, we could really stretch this out to get a better understanding of the guy.
