Selome Hailu SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers for Episodes 1 and 2 of “Barry” Season 4, now streaming on HBO. If you thought there was no hope left for Barry Berkman, you’re wrong. He’s still on the path to finding what he’s searching for — because he’s no longer searching for redemption. When we last saw Barry (series creator Bill Hader), he was finally getting his comeuppance: Mr. Cousineau (Henry Winkler) and Jim Moss (Robert Wisom) worked together to get him arrested for killing Janice (Paula Newsome), who was Cousineau’s girlfriend and Jim’s daughter. The handcuffs were a jarring cap on three seasons that spent so much time and effort questioning whether Barry was capable of finding a good person within himself and committing to a nonviolent lifestyle for good. But as Season 4 opens, Barry is a miserable shell of himself, scavenging for a reason — any reason — to live.

Alison Herman When “Barry” began, it was the punchline to a simple setup: a hitman walks into an acting class, then kills in every sense of the term. Co-creator and star Bill Hader was best known for his sketch comedy work on “Saturday Night Live,” while his partner Alec Berg had done stints on “Silicon Valley” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” At least to start, “Barry” largely built on those backgrounds, mining humor from its characters’ self-delusion. Hader’s title character wants to express himself, but also hide his true nature; his classmates and teacher all firmly believe they’re undiscovered stars. Even violent criminals like chipper Chechen NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan) were largely comic creations.

Is Jason Sudekis going to pull of a triple crown? The “Ted Lasso” co-creator won the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series Emmy in 2021 and 2022 and is gunning for a third win for the Apple TV+ breakout’s final season. The last time any actor pulled off three wins in a row was Michael J.

It has been a pleasure working with this immensely talented team including Bill Hader, Alec Berg, Aida Rodgers and the entire exceptional cast and crew.”Critics who have now seen the show have been almost universal in their praise for the final season.Collider said of the new season: “There’s really nothing else out there like Barry, and, now that it’s ending, who knows if there ever will be again?” Meanwhile, Consequence described it as “beautifully made, twist-packed, and essential.”Inverse said the show delivered an “unpredictable and flawless series finale,” while IndieWire called it “stunning”.Uproxx added to the praise calling it “a final performance of the ages”, while Rolling Stone said it “goes out on its own terms in deliciously dark season four.”Barry‘s last season will air on HBO from April 16 and will consist of eight episodes.

Not to be a downer, but “Succession” isn’t the only great show ending this spring. Bill Hader and Alec Berg‘s genre-breaking dramedy “Barry” is also coming to a close with its fourth season.
