Barry

Barry is absolutely deserving of all the praise it gets and Bill Hader is excellent in this! This show has everything in it...comedy, drama, action, suspense, etc, etc. I promise you will not be disappointed once you start watching it!

When I first read the description of Barry, I immediately dismissed the show as being either too high concept or too gimmicky to be fun. I was wrong. Not only is this show a total hidden gem, but it contains some of the funniest and most morally complex characters on TV.

From the start, Barry gets almost everything right. The writing is caustic and funny, always delivered with both heartfelt sincerity and a darkly funny edge (you have to look no further than the character of Noho Hank to see where the soul of the show lies). The violence is frequently punchy and always well done, sometimes quite shocking in it's unexpectedness. The performances across the board are stellar, especially from Winkler, Hader, Carrigan and Root, who all play extremely eccentric men who's goals come at odds.

All that being said, I think it's imperative for more people to watch this show. This is "peak TV". Like Breaking Bad and The Sopranos, Barry portrays a conflicted character with depth and surprising beauty. Don't miss out on it.

Barry is just as good as everyone says it is. Bill Hader is amazing in this in a career defining role. In fact, the entire cast is amazing. It has been nominated and won so many awards it's hard to keep track of and every one of them has been deserving. It follows a depressed hitman named Barry (Bill Hader) who's looking for a way out of the business. He travels to L. A. to kill actor but falls in love with the city. He gets involved with an acting class and instantly loves it and wants to become an actor. He meets and falls for his girlfriend, Sally (Sarah Goldberg), there. He wants to become an actor but his old handler, Fuchs, won't let him walk away. Besides Hader and Goldberg, it stars Henry Winkler, Anthony Carrigan, Stephen Root and more. I don't know what else I can say about this incredible show that hasn't already been said. Just go watch for yourself!

FIRST SEASON : 8,4/10

SECOND SEASON : 8,7/10

THIRD SEASON : 7,4/10

FOURTH SEASON : 6,5/10

A lot of people praise third season. Some believe 4th was great too. I strongly disagree.

First and second seasons were great. A brilliant dark comedy with the right dose of comedy, drama, action, cynicism and absurdism. Barry Berkman was such an interesting character. Charismatic, insane, magnetic. As a viewer i liked him, some times i felt sorry for him, some others he seemed unredeemable. In any case you couldn't take your eyes off him. Some episodes were masterpieces, this "ronny/lilly" episode was a triumph of Absurdism.

He was surrounded by many interesting characters too. This tv show was unpredictable. Shocking moments after hilarious moments.

There were many brilliant moments in third season, too. But the sum of it was flawed. This was an uneven season, many highs and, for the first time, some lows. Furthermore, it became too dark. This show lost its charm. Everyone was somewhat unlikeable. Darkness for the sake of darkness. BARRY was never BREAKING BAD. BARRY was never a heavy drama. Third season's ending was great though.

Fourth season started pretty well. First 4 episodes were so good that i thought it would go out with a bang. It didn't reach first and second season's greatness, it was not so funny anymore, but i was enjoying it. Then, a turn of events happened, i won't say much in order for not spoiling it. At first, i thought it was interesting. For sure, the last episodes of BARRY are totally unpredictable. But that doesn't mean it suceeds. 4th season is a failure. People act out of character, twists for the sake of twist. Too much unplausibility too. BARRY was never "realistic", it was almost surreal, like a fever dream, but there was "order through chaos". It made sense. 4th season don't make much sense.

And the ending was unsatisfying as it could be.

To sum it up, BARRY is definitely recommended because it is one of the best dark comedies of the last 15 years. Actors are amazing, you will laugh, you will feel tension, it will excite you if you like this genre. However, it didn't end well, at least for me. Still, it was a hell of a ride.

It has got all emotions covered - drama, thrill, romance etc. And is Comic with a capital C. All actors play their respective part very well and writing with direction is amazing.

Deserves more popularity and seasons.

Should be watched.
