Audience Reviews

Suiko F Doesn't get better than this. Episodes aren't drawn out and get to the point. Great writing and characters. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Taylor H Brilliance. Not a dull moment to be had— all while showing off Hader’s dramatic acting chops. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Lukas-Jeremie K Barry Berkman is a war veteran who finances his living as a hitman after his service - his partner and old friend of his father, Fuches, gets the jobs. When Barry actually only travels to Los Angeles for another job, he more or less accidentally stumbles into an acting school and thereby finds his love for acting. Now it's important to somehow reconcile these two things - but that's easier said than done. I've never seen a premise as unique as "Barry" - it's truly incomparable. If I had to describe the series somehow, I would say it's a little like Dexter, only with a lot more comedy. That's another thing that makes this series so special. It combines genres that I've never seen combined before - namely serious crime and light-hearted comedy. What sounds a bit absurd at first actually works surprisingly well! I have almost nothing to complain about in the series. The actors do their roles well, the camera work isn't often special, but when it is, it's really extremely well done and the writers did a phenomenal job anyway! In my opinion, the ending could have been better, but "Barry" is still a unique series that is very refreshing in a time where many productions are only produced and written according to the same formulas. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Nikita C If the first half of the season hides everything dark under the funny, then the second half hides everything funny under the dark. This crazy combination makes the show one of the standouts on television. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/16/23 Full Review Ryoga M I watched on November 10 Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review J G Season one - 6 stars. Season 4, last episode, also 6 stars. But, what a disappointment for the rest of the series - seasons 2, 3, and 4. What was once a very clever and funny dark comedy brought to life by brilliant acting, quickly turned into nothing more than an exhibitionist's delight. The transformation of Barry's character, undoubtedly due to the twisted inner world in which he lived, was "well done". However, the stark deviation from season one, took such a dark turn that Barry became nothing more than a Dexter knock-off. Whereas with Dexter, we were so heavily invested in all the characters, with Barry we sadly become immersed in an irritating, meandering story that keeps us asking - do we really care about any of them?
