Barry

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.

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.

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.

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.

This show reminds me a little of how Bojack Horseman is structured in a good way. With being all happy and go lucky until it stops on a dime and becomes an insane tense filled show all because the main character is a "good guy" that's really an jerk. Now that since Bojack is one my favorite show that's a great compliment from me but Barry also does its own thing.

The cast of Barry are all great to Sally, Bill Dautrive (Fuches), Gene, and of course Noho-Hank. All of these characters are amazing and unique in their own way but all helping to propel the story of Barry. Barry at first just seems like a random assassin to be watching but as the show progress you just watch his slow descent into madness as he desperately clings to his newfound life but the old just right behind . I don't want to get to specifics but these moment do come around in absolute tense moments that just make you loose it. Cant wait for season 4.
