I refuse to believe they didn't hire paid reviewers for this. The lead actor is obnoxiously unlikeable. I didn't stick around to complain, I just turned it off after the first few shows, and I have no regrets. If Palm Royale (another terrible show) can be nominated for Emmy awards, I'm sure HBO can manufacture fake hype online and critical acclaim, too. This show flat ****. It's in that rare group of shows where it's so bad you can't watch it because you're embarrassed for the writers, the actors, and directors.

I loved Bill Hader on SNL and in the movies but this is a drama not a comedy show. Not sure why Hollywood keeps pushing all these show as comedy D'UH! they are dramas. I watched around four or five episodes and maybe laugh twice if that. Henry Winkler does a good job as the acting coach. But not being a comedy really turn me off so stop watching.

Un humor negro e inteligente que remonta un poco a la serie de Dexter, muy divertida.

Divertida, ingeniosa y me parece que tiene un toque de la famosa serie de Dexter pero más chistosa.

Barry's fourth season continues to be filled with dark humour, unique cinematography, and a matured narrative style, leaving viewers eagerly anticipating Bill Hader's future feature films.

Season 1 is good... Season 2 is great Season 3 Masterful. Season 4 is great and good. It's a great show over all with some brillinat narrative moves and well considered and interesting action sequences. Sometimes bizzare, sometimes dark, always compelling.

Starts as a very good comedy. Reminds me of a show called Lucifer, where the main character also had a secret that nobody could know about. Unfortunately, just like the mentioned show, after the secret was uncovered the it turned into garbage. I laughed two times during the last season.

Probably my favorite show this year. The first 2 seasons are just comedy gold,and starting season 3 it really started to feel more like a drama, which I really liked. I would definitely recommebd this to anyone.

It's fine idk the comedy's rlly good but the drama just feels so forced

Barry Berkman's descent from conflicted hitman trying to be an actor instead to outright unhinged murder was so **** fun to watch. Bill Hader is a genius.

I really enjoyed first seasons, but the last 2 were a bit less interesting for me and a bit too weird at times. Especially last one, but still great tv series and entertaining throughout.

Season 1 Rating: 82 (Great) Full Series Review: Barry is great series. The show manage to blend dark comedy with compelling drama. The writing is excellent making the story more compelling and gives the characters depth. The cast ensemble gives phenomenal performances especially Bill Hader who does an amazing job as Barry. Overall great series.

Brilliantly written and acted. Bill Hader is a gem in every sense! The characters are wonderfully flesh and bones, complex, and multidimensional. The last season gets darker but it had no where else to go. I highly recommend.

Season 1 is fresh and addictive, it made me laugh every episode. Season 2 is a good addition, barring some moments it has the same shine as season 1. Season 3 is convoluted, has no direction, and many nameless, boring characters. Haven't laughed once during season 3. 8/10 for season 1 and 2.

Barry has proven to be more than just a comedy and knows how to balance it. With only 3 episodes left I can only imagine what is left in store and how this story will be wrapped up

The show has gotten more and more dramatic and dark, and less comedic, but that's due to the way the story has unfolded. It all works, and with this and Succession going off the air, I am in need of some great new series!

Barry is one of the best shows on tv, so sad this is the final season. But it's going out on top, every episode is A+.

Great, self aware and subversive take on TV serial killer characters with some commentary on show business, toxic masculinity and feminism.

I have started watching this show from the start now that the forth season has arrived. I love this show so much. The show is has so many funny, dramatic and terrofic moments. Bill Hader is not just a brilliant comedian but also a brilliant drama actor. I can highly recomend this show.

A perfect blend of dark comedy and serious. This is a show that does not over-stay its welcome, even after I finished season 3. I am happy that they will end the show after season 4 because it would make sense in the story. The show is heavy on symbolism and characters arc in wonderful and unexpected ways. Bill Hader is stellar, however he is not a 'funny' character despite the show itself being funny. This is only possible through Bill and his supporting cast's amazing acting. NoHo Hank is sooooo good and i pray this actor gets more roles after this. Just wow.

Good show, but it lost me in season 3. Barry has an underlying theme of positive masculinity that works well and carries much of the humor. Unfortunately the plot and characters lose a bit of focus as the show progresses and some of the themes get lost along the way.

1st season start slows but still pretty funny, kinda goofy, sometimes emotional. Season 3 is amazing, surrealism meets psychology. Loved it

TL;DR: If you enjoyed Dexter, you'll love his evil twin, Barry! Give this HBO series a serious try and cringe through the few parts that are kind of over-the-top even for this one. Long read: Barry is an absurdist and at the same time very dark comedy in the lines of Dexter, but with a serious twist. In the mind of Barry, the main character, that is. The acting of the cast is top-notch through and through. And most of the characters are in the "believable" realm and even if their portrayal is teetering on the edge of becoming too much. The absurdist part comes from over-the-top either stupid or blatantly comic book evil villain types that get strewn in or by some of the things characters stoop to do with almost no insight into their real motives - outside of probably being borderline insane. Put on top the Fonz actor Henry Winkler as the centerpiece of Barry's universe and "cling on for safety" PTSD mental support mentor, sprinkle in some quirky and potentially equally insane side characters the likes of Barry's love interest and her entourage and you have a winning mix that keeps interesting enough through Seasons 1-2 but get kind of unbelievable towards Season 3 when the story needs to be wrapped up tighter than Barry's latest victim is in a rolled carpet. You will get great laughs, dark twists out of most of the characters as their archs come to an end and some seriously absurdist story sidelines to digest while they're sweeping up the pieces. Overall, Barry is definitely a great ride along the quality lines of what makes HBO so good. Albeit one that ride suffers from some bumps in the final season, showing the weakness in the seams as they try knit all the threads that have been thrown out there neatly in the final Season.

This is a smart show. Its structure is more shakespear or greek comedy than a contemporary kind of show. It is about morality and karma. It may not always be realistic, but if seen through the lens of karmic rules playing out, it is spot on. And always entertaining and well acted. Fresh and deserves all the awards it gets. Winkler and Root are as good as it gets.

Season 1 was inventive and tongue in cheek. Season 2 veered into cartoon/Tarantino. Season 3 is a collection of clichés and dumb plot lines.

Production quality is very high, great cast / characters, some really stand out, premise is both funny, absurd, unnerving, and tragic. A 7 though because I think it goes way too hard on the dark angle and it starts getting very repetitive. They just need to change up the story more or the 3rd season's going to wear people out and ruin the series. Please just get rid of Fuches, he **** and is the real villain, we get it, can we move on now? It's not funny nor are we cheering on him miraculously surviving or manipulating people yet again for the millionth time. Hank is funny but again, that part of the show is getting repetitive. It's clear he doesn't want to be involved in organized crime, have him doing something else in season 3. Maybe Barry is no longer in this endless black mail situation but ends up in other situations where he needs to kill.

Full of darkness, yet funny and quite intriguing, the actors are fabulous and the story is just nuts.

El drama pesa mas que la comedia. El policia de Superbad es mas frio de lo que podemos pensar.

One of the better shows recently on TV. A little ridiculous, a little funny, a little serious, I love it.

Bill Hader's mind, BRILLIANT. I being full honest here saying that this series deserve all the awards that were nominated for.

One of my favourite TV Shows of all time that everyone must watch! Bill Hader is incredible in this show. 10/10

2 season turned out excellent, it more dynamic and ridiculous. The 5th series so in general is ingenious. The final of a season turned out strong, it is much better than the first season.
