Barry is a masterpiece, and something that will surprise you so much you feel numb.Bill Hader's sitting is amazing, and plays the role of an existential crisis well... Almost too well at times. The supporting cast grow and develop with Hader's character, making the entire show shift forward with time (rare these days). The plot develops naturally, and the value to be found in the script and "acting classes" is huge. A shining part of the show is it's use of sound, and the perfectly placed suspense music, rock music, and theatrical dialogue that's meaningless-but-sounds-serious.This show won't be as funny as you think, but it's brilliance would be lost if they changed anything!

Bill Hader really showed his chops in this episode but I have to say that Chris Marquette as Chris Lucado, stole the scene! His freak out in the car was amazing! Why this actor doesn't have more top movie/tv roles I don't know. This episode was the best of them all!

This show is about ex war veteran who turned to hitman who ends up to acting class by accident and starts to find his humanity.Hader is brilliant as usual as lead role as killer and you start rooting for him early on. All the characters are wery well written and acted. (amazingly Henry Winkler _allmost_ steals the show).The whole haunting feeling knowing cops are few steps behind of Berry all the way the whole show kept me gripped when "Barry" is struggling to be like normal human being but past keeps dragging him back no matter how he tries.To keep this spoiler free, this show reminds me stuff like (true detective, last man on earth, fargo and movie nightcrawler) for some reason. Quite dark toned but full of dark huomour that made me laugh out loud on every episode.I head about this show late untill Bill Burr recommended it when Hader was a guest and watched all eight episodes in the row. That Is rare so this is higly recommended.

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.
