Barry

Currently up to episode 2 of season 2, so this review is based on what I've seen so far.

I've read so many rave reviews about this show but was hesitant to watch it because usually when things are hyped up so much they disappoint me. This one is good, I'm really enjoying it. But do I think it's amazing and worth 10 stars? Not quite.

The short episodes are an easy watch, the dark comedy is quite good. I giggle out loud sometimes but I've never had a belly laugh or anything. Hank is definitely the best character to watch. The actor plays him so well. Gene is a close second.

There's some action and dark moments which I also enjoy, it's a good mix. Acting is decent. Looking forward to watching more. If you like Fargo, Mr Inbetween (the superior hitman show it you ask me) and Atlanta you'll like this!

Edited after finishing to go from a 7 to an 8. I did end up laughing out loud, crying out loud and gasping out loud! Great show that will be missed.

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!

Having just finished Chapter 7, and realizing that I have to wait for the finale just like the rest of you, I decided to give a reason as to why you should be watching. The film major in me sees the inevitable gold mine of information that this show is. Berg and Hader have began crafting an amazing world with this show. There isn't a single character that feels out of place. Barry has this incredibly relatable motivation of 'What am I doing with my life?" Yet it is portrayed in a way that pulls you away from the dogged question in reality. Barry is the epitome of dark comedy, you'll laugh hard with one breath and gut wrench in the next. There is no action that does not have a consequence, the conflicts that arise only resolve in more conflict. The actors acting as actors learning to act is sublime. I could go for days about why Barry is a new staple for HBO, but I suggest you watch it and see for yourself. If you're studying film/script-writing/acting you need to add this to your watch list, it's a goldmine of skills.

HBO's hottest show is "BARRY". Former SNL member and current boyfriend of the internet, Bill Hader, has gone ALL OUT. This show has everything! Depression, ptsd, a morally conflicted hit-man, and if that's not funny enough, just wait till episode 7!

Okay, but seriously, this is an amazing show. Really well written and acted. The shifts from comedy to drama are so intense! I love how the mob guys are written, especially noho hank and the humour that character brings. I love how all of Barry's actions are in-line with his character and what we know about him so far. This show is so good. I am forcing everyone I know to watch.

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!
