Watched this all over the last few months. It was great, but I'm surprised to see there's gonna be another season. Thought it ended pretty perfectly.
Television Barry
- Thread starter Snow
- Start date
3 seasons in, and this is how I feel about it too. Big fan of Bill Hader, Stephen Root and Henry Winkler, but there's not a likeable character in the whole show, except for maybe Noho.
It's very well put together, and its a very aesthetically pleasing show for the most part. I kinda like how it goes a bit bizarre out of nowhere, like the episode in S2 where he goes after Ronny who turns out to be a taekwondo champion, the bit where he fights the daughter is kinda Kill Bill-esque, and it comes right out of the blue. It still feels like it's missing something though, but I don't know what.
The next season will be the last one so we would hope they have a great idea to close it all up.
The new season is fantastic. This is better than Succession. I mean, it always was, but it probably needs saying since Succession has been so good lately.
Didn't realise there was a new season - why didn't you say earlier
To spite you.
Actually it only started last week with a double episode drop, then the 3rd today (airing yesterday).
Thought as much.
Perfect timing for a long train journey tomorrow. Thanks for notifying us all eventually
It’s a comedy without jokes and Bill Hader has the dramatic acting skills of a potato.
Tell me you haven't seen more more than five minutes of Barry without telling me you haven't seen more than five minutes of Barry.
Original.
It’s great, but I don’t think you can call it a comedy anymore.
We can't all be Shakespearean wordsmiths like you. "Acting skills of a potato", how do you come up with this gold?
You’re taking this a little thick.

Given your patter, I’d say you spend enough time on Twitter.
It's definitely not better than Succession 
This week's was a very good episode. Going forward I can see Barry working either with the other chechens against hank or he gets Hank's forgiveness by helping him against the other chechens. There's got to be a reason they've come back in as a threat and with barry on the run now he's going to need help from a criminal organisation to stay free
Not sure how I feel about the show, I enjoy watching it and it certainly has some strengths, but sometimes the tone seems all over the place for me. It's possibly intended to be so, but I'm still undecided as to whether it fully works on this show.
I did prefer the first two seasons, I thought the shift in Barry from trying to be a better person to stone cold psycho in season 3 was just so sudden. I think this season has been a bit better than last one so far, not that 3 was awful it just, as you said, changed tone so suddenly, like watching a different show
This has taken an odd turn.
It's bonkers, but I think I'm into it. It was a bit of a set-up episode, I expect it to pick up for the rest of the season.
I think I'm the same. An 8 year time skip is strange but it's always been a strange show.
Yeah it’s a very odd show. Latest ep was up there as the weirdest.
The show was more contained before Barry was exposed, the last two seasons have been very wobbly.
This guy has some of the greatest facial expressions and mannerisms.
Weirdly, his lack of eyebrows seems to accentuate it.
HBO having Succession and Barry to air back to back is almost unfairly good.
He’s amazing, love him. I also love Barry’s girlfriend on the show, Sarah Goldberg.
This final season has been weird, to say the least.
It started well but the time jump has ruined all momentum. Not a fan.
Best TV character of the 21st century.
Decent episode. Hank was great.
Finale next. Feels like it’s been muddling for a while really.

"It's their heads."
"We don't know that yet."
That and the RPG scene. I fecking love Hank. I love how this show can go from incredibly dark to slapstick.

Succession wasn't the only brilliant show that ended last night.
HBO had some combo running there.
Farewell to one of the best TV characters from the last few years.

Really struggle to see how they'll replace Succession + Barry for Sunday nights. Big shoes to fill!HBO had some combo running there.

Thought it was a decent finale. Barry’s “oh, wow”
That instantly bumped it up to a great finale for me. It's so typical of this show to just kill off the main character like that. No glorious shoot-out, just oh, wow.Thought it was a decent finale. Barry’s “oh, wow”
