Review of Barry

Barry (2018–2023)
8/10
Really enjoyed seasons 1 and 2

Barry is a great show, the characters are really good and all contribute to the show even though their characters are strong with their own story. Noho Hank is a really good character and the acting is great throughout. I would have given it 10 stars if it wasn't for season 4.

Seasons one and two drew me in because of the humour - a hit man enrolls in an acting class. The very premise itself is ludicrous but due to the great acting and script it works. Season 4 however, has none of the humour and Barry's likeability is gone. The period when he's in hiding with Sally is drawn out for too long and becomes boring.

I even started fast forwarding through little sections.

Losing the humour means the essence of what made seasons 1 and 2 so good, is gone. And the ending is sad. Season 4 is a drama but not a very good one.
