TV: HBO: Barry

[Revelator]

I do agree this season has felt a bit disjointed but then again some of that could gel together upon another viewing. The last few episodes have been great and agree the chase scene was top notch. Nearly up there with the little girl ninja episode from season 2.

[Rob]

I’m too invested to quit, but not a fan of this season. It’s lost something.

[Mickey]

Yeah I thought this episode was incredibly lackluster. A ton of great set pieces (the BanShe scene, the chase scene, the repeated gag with the beignet guy) but it really doesn't come together in a way that makes sense.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I knew Barry wouldn’t die but did not expect to be saved, of sorts, Ryan’s father.
That scene with Noho might have been the only laugh of the show.
Loved the shot of the suburban street meeting the shoreline. And Fuches’ monologue at the end. Sets up a potentially intense finale next week.
Sally’s plot line, when independent from Barry, has no interest from me.

Hank with the dart in his neck got the biggest laugh from me this season

I like that the NoHo Hank character hasn’t become exaggerated each season. You get just the right amount. Like, we’re not in Ross Gellar or Steve Ukrel territory.

while i like the episode i think its getting a little bit on my nerves with the whole ¨oh, is barry going to be dead? ¨ and its just getting ridiculous.

[VinylGuy]

even if they stick with the landing next week, its the worst season of all. It disjointed, the tone changes so much, Barry doesnt make a lot of sense and he should be dead by now, really.

Its still funny and compelling enough to watch, but a really uneven season.

[Monkey_Driven]

It's the third season. One of them is bound to the worst. This one seems to be right on the level of the others. The voice-to-text scene alone was golden.

[VinylGuy]

dont apologize for it

This series is at a crossroads between comedy and drama, perhaps more so than any series before it.

[Monkey_Driven]

The bundt cake guy was wonderful as well.

Have we ever considered the drama and comedy are inextricably linked?
