Barry

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes you watch a show and it's like everything about it just works and that is the case with Barry. The acting is outstanding all the way around. Congratulations to Bill Hader for making every scene he is in perfection. I love all the characters really and could go on and on but I want to just mention Henry Winkler. What a great role for him! Fantastic character and I would watch the show just to see more of Gene if I didn't love everyone else too. Mostly spectacular writing though. The writers killed it on this show (pun intended). Congratulations to everyone.

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!
