SPOILER ALERT: The following story contains details from the series finale of HBO‘s Barry. “Wow.” Not only is this the title of the Barry series finale, written and directed by co-creator and star, Bill Hader.
It’s also, naturally, the sentiment with which we, as an audience, are left. By the end of the episode, Hader’s hitman-turned-actor is dead, even if he was about to turn himself in to the police, shot in the chest and head by his one-time acting teacher Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler).
Also dead is NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan), who’s shot after a stand-off with Fuches (Stephen Root). Barry’s acting-class love Sally (Sarah Goldberg) and son John (Zachary Golinger) survive the shoutout at NoHo Hank’s offices, where they were being held captive, after Sally admits to John that both she and Barry are murderers, with Fuches disappearing into the wind.
We then move forward in time and find an older John (Jaeden Martell) taking in a school play directed by his mother, who now works as a teacher in a snowy town that isn’t identified by name.
