I was very excited about starting this show, being a big fan of Bill Hader from his SNL days, but this bypassed all of my expectations. This show will leave you not wanting to stop, i can not more highly recommend this show. It isn't just a hilariously funny show, but a drama filled action packed roller coaster. Bill Hader proved himself as a competent drama actor in his movie The Skeleton Twins (2014) but he took this show to another level. I Can say nothing but good things about this show, The actors who play the Chechens are hilarious and are perfect for this show. I would HIGHLY SUGGEST. 10/10

I expect Hader to be great, and he is. An excellent mixture of comedy and tragedy. The supporting cast is an ensemble of superb actors playing satire, serious and at times, outrageous. My wife and I had to start saving a few episodes for later so that we didn't blow through the whole season in one weekend, which would have been easy to do. The main characters are brilliantly conceived and performed, and the supporting characters are equally gifted. Winkler, Carrigan, and Root steal every scene they are in. Newsome is a lusty detective with a nose for deceit...she is wonderful to watch in action. This is a workable ensemble and I hope that we get to see many seasons of Barry. Congratulations to all the cast for an enjoyable first season.

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.

Enjoyed this because of the actors in it more than the plot. Individual character development was fun but not too deep.
The scene with Stephen Root and Glen Fleshler at the dinner table was brilliant.
And I generally love anything with Henry Winkler in it.
The overarching approach to just casually gunning down people in cold blood has always bothered me about American television and film and this series doesn't bring anything new to that premise.
But I suppose one would expect this kind of lack of empathy from a tv series based on a hitman.
