Are you a movie addict like me? THEN THIS IS FOR YOU!!
Hey people! Today I want to talk about a series that has me completely hooked: "Barry"! If you like suspense and laughs, this series is perfect for you. Created by Alec Berg and Bill Hader, "Barry" tells the story of a hitman who gets involved in the world of acting. With four seasons so far, this series is a unique combination of emotions that grips you from the very first episode.
This starts like this friends:
The first thing I love about "Barry" is its original premise. Imagine a guy named Barry Berkman (played amazingly by Bill Hader) who, while doing his job of killing people, discovers that he has an acting talent. Yes, just as you hear it! The series masterfully mixes violence, mystery and comedy, creating a unique audiovisual experience. You'll see Barry trying to balance his life as a killer with his new passion for acting, and trust me, the results are hilarious.
The script for "Barry" is a real gem. Each episode is packed with unexpected twists and dialogue that will make you laugh out loud. The mixture of tense moments with absurdly comic situations is just great. Also, the secondary characters are amazing. From the wacky Noho Hank (played by Anthony Carrigan), who will make you laugh non-stop and is surprising in every performance, from beginning to end because this series is like that, full of endless events that you will never believe they happen; even detective Janice Moss (played by Paula Newsome) who has an important role and makes sense of what was hidden or in plain sight, but not very understandable, well, they all have their own charm and you They will make you laugh on more than one occasion.
The plot in general is fascinating, from start to finish, you don't know what to expect, it's just being stunned by waiting for the surprise, from Barry and the entire cast. I love how they play on the contrast between Barry's seemingly normal life and moments of extreme violence. It's like going from a comedy scene to an action scene in a matter of seconds.
But "Barry" isn't just laughs and murder, it also touches on deeper themes. As Barry enters the world of acting, he is faced with questions about his identity and his purpose in life. What does he really want? Can he redeem himself from his past? These musings give the series a touch of depth that makes it even more interesting.
Murders, acting, comedy, romance, dreams of the nearest future, it's not a fantasy, we just fall short of the reality of life.
There is much more to tell in each chapter and season, but we cannot tell everything either and that the viewer practically knows what happens in this narrative, which will undoubtedly arouse their interest in this series, which has a bit of everything, with comedy , love, suspense, murder, out of the ordinary, and things that could actually happen in real life.
In the case, identifying with Barry is a very strong struggle from childhood to adulthood, with which not many can and although the treatment is extremely difficult, that's why I recommend this series that I know you will like friends.
A series as mentioned of 4 seasons, from its premiere in 2015 to the current year 2023 its last season.
You can watch it on HBO:
