Barry is Hader’s tour-de-force and it solidifies him as one of the most creative, well-versed actor/writer/directors in the business
. Few television series have successfully delivered the tonal transformation this HBO comedy has over its first three seasons. Now, with the fourth and final season, debuting April 16, it’s impossible to classify this show into any one category.debuted in 2018, it introduced an ex-military hitman whose accidental discovery of an acting class inspired him to change his ways.
By Season 3, which Hader and co-creator Alec Berg rewrote during the pandemic, the dramatic tonal shift was inevitable. Sure, there were comedic moments peppered in: Nearly everything involving Sally’s fictional series, for example, from the press junket to the show’s immediate cancellation due to “the algorithm” and “taste clusters.” But Barry’s true nature was also unravelling, and the writers found their own honesty by following that story of trauma, PTSD, abandonment and grief.
It’s heartbreaking because having witnessed Barry’s initial transformation, his love and good intentions were real. Sure, logic turns off when his own brain snaps and a killing spree ensues, but this is also a killer who has no problem professing his love. Every time Hader delivers a soft, “I love you,” you believe him to his very core. You probably also want to vomit because you now know what that love is capable of.
