I'm excited. This is probably my favorite show that's currently airing.

Re: TV: HBO: Barry
They released all of the episodes except the finale to the critics and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. They also agree that it’s bleak with only a few laugh out loud moments. I’m looking forward to it.

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.
