Re: TV: HBO: Barry
That ep just felt off kilter to me and I can’t quite figure out why.
But I’m enjoying it for, if nothing else, its stellar craftsmanship.

Cameos aside, there have been too many great character actors in one-scene appearances to count this season.

My only problem with this series is gonna be my increasing desire to see Barry get his face smashed in and go straight to hell.

Re: TV: HBO: Barry
Not only was it a great episode it was a fun watch too.
Lots of pay off from last week’s set up heavy second episode. I’m curious how much was shot that went to the cutting room floor; it’s been tightly paced editing so far. Hader’s going to get a directing nod come Emmy season to go with his acting. It’s been a really well made show all around.
