Wow, a lot happened in the finale, including some of Henry Winkler's best work of the series.
I'm not going to get into all the details but I'm excited to see what happens next. All the threads seems to tidy up nicely until the closing when Gene realizes what Fuches whispered to him in the woods.
Not that the last three weren't good but the first five episodes was some of my favorite tv of the season. I would be surprised if Barry isn't remembered at Emmy time.

With HBO making this show, among others, free to the public this would be fine time to watch this show if you have not. I think it's built for binging with only two seasons totaling 16 half hour episodes with nearly all of them having a "what happens next?" final scene.

The good news is that Bill Hader said on Seth Meyers that season four is already written.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Yeah as far as current shows go it's definitely top 3. I just got into Ozark recently and really enjoying that. Barry has been fucking fantastic through and through and really looking forward to seeing where they go with S3 (and hopefully S4 if renewed).
Spoiler: show
Whatever the episode was in season 2 (I think it was episode 5) where it's all basically shot in real time was brilliant
