Title: Barry
Post by: wesfau2 on May 22, 2018, 02:38:58 AM

Fantastic show on HBO featuring Bill Hader as the eponymous Barry (super assassin/former US Special Forces), Stephen Root as his handler, Fuches, and the unsung hero of the show, Anthony Carrigan as the sentimental Chechnyan, Noho Hank.

Barry wants out so he can pursue his dream of acting, Fuches needs him in...and the Chechnyans are surprising comic relief.

Noho Hank is maybe my favorite tv character in forever.

Barry isn't half bad in basketball either.

He's the worst president ever.

I was hoping there is another Manilow fan on the x and we could go to a concert together and hang out. And stuff.

The other real life meetings I’ve had didn’t go so well.

In-thread chuckleheadedness aside...

Season 2 has been awesome and the latest episode may be the funniest of the entire series.

You're missing out if this and Veep aren't on your weekly watch list.

Also, add Happy! on SyFy.

I liked the first season of Happy! In a strange sorta way. But I'm struggling to get on board with season 2.

I watched this all the way out.  I can only give it two meh's.  It's okay.  Closer to fair. Hank is funny.  But if I never saw another episode it wouldn't matter to me.  And I'm caught up to current.  It's just not that good.

Due to a lack of much else to watch,  I cruised through the 11 minute episodes and will see the grand finale Sunday, I guess.

The show wasn't great to begin with and it has fallen completely off the caboose here at the end.  This is worse than any Soprano dream sequence, including the jarringly out-of-place Kevin Finnerty storyline. 

Sally looks haggard and whorish, even.  It's one of those shows that started out fairly decently and then meandered so far off course it kind of ruined everything that came before it. 

I'll never go back to it and it won't go down in TV history as anything much more than a momentary blip.
