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.

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.

Premise : An mercenary for hire wants to become an actor
Barry is a well made dark comedy and some may not like it but overall it is one of the best in that genre. I felt S03 to be a bit laggy in the beginning but the ending made up to it. Other streaming sites should learn from HBO on selecting content for a series.

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!
