TV: Barry (HBO)

[Ol' Jase]

Jesus Christ, Bill Hader is a ridiculous talent.

Binge watched it all. It is absolutely one of the best shows on TV.

 

[ORRFForever]

Any idea when Season 3 starts?

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

Production delayed due to covid, so...it'll arrive whenever it can.

2nded, I binged both of the 2 seasons over Corona break. Can't believe it took me so long since I love Hader's work, but it blew me away all around given my expectations.

 

[deadinthewater]

I just watched both seasons in the last week and I loved it. I thought season 2 was spectacular. Barry's character is so f***ing tragic.

 

[Tuggy]

Yeah it's a great show. Glad more people discovered it.

Some of the characters are annoying but... it's part of its charm.

 

[tealhockey]

noHo Hank is my favorite

I haven’t watched s3 yet. I think I want to binge it once the last episode comes out. Looking forward to it though.

Noho Hank is hilarious. Can’t believe people in this thread found him annoying. He’s super nice guy. Offers guests submarine sandwich. He’s an optometrist by nature.

 

[deadinthewater]

Barry (the character) is getting so dark! Holy moly! Bill Hader is phenomenal.

 

[izlez]

Had no idea this was back out. Felt like I waited years for a bunch of shows to come back, and all of a sudden I'm weeks and weeks behind on all of them ...I suppose they probably all returned to production around the same time

 

[TJ21]

I firmly believe this show, along with Better Call Saul, are 2 of the best on television at the moment. Such a brilliant series, and Hader is fantastic in this role. Really hope more people pick this series up.

Barry renewed for a 4th season.

from deadline.com:

HBO has renewed Barry for a fourth season, it was revealed on Thursday. Production will begin in Los Angeles in June, with series star Bill Hader directing all eight episodes. Hader co-created Barry alongside Alec Berg.

Season 3 of the acclaimed series is airing weekly on HBO and HBO Max, with the finale set for June 12.

“Bill, Alec, and the entire cast and crew delivered an exquisite third season of Barry, it’s a masterful blend of laughs and suspense,” said Amy Gravitt, EVP Programming at HBO. “I’m so happy to announce that we are picking up the fourth season.”

Barry follows the misadventures of the titular character, a hired assassin who dreams of becoming an actor. The more he tries to move away from L.A.’s seedy underbelly the deeper it consumes him — and affects everyone around him.

In Season 3, Barry is fully committed to untangling himself from the murder business to follow his passion to act full time. But that proves to be a job in and of itself because he knows too much.

The cast also includes Henry Winkler, Stephen Root, Michael Irby, Anthony Carrigan, and Sarah Goldberg.

The first two seasons of the dark comedy received a total of 30 Emmy nominations and 6 Emmys including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Hader; Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Winkler; Outstanding Sound Editing For a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation; and Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation.

Season 3 is great, looking forward to Season 4. Show is a perfect dark comedy. Noho Hank went from being annoying to my favorite character.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Yeah this show is amazing, that bike chase was really cool

Season 4 logline: Cousineau (Henry Winkler) is hailed as a hero as Barry's (Bill Hader) arrest has shocking consequences. It's all been leading up to this - the explosive and hilarious final chapter of Barry.

 

[Lehnerd Skinnerd]

Love this show, can’t wait. Sad that this will be the final season, but I do appreciate when a show comes to a natural conclusion and doesn’t get dragged out and milked for every dollar they can make.

Just remembered that this came back last week. Looks like the first 3 episodes are highly rated.
