March 27, 2018
Bill Hader's subtle turn best part of dark hitman comedy.
March 23, 2018
Barry marks viewers' best bet for a smart, darkly comedic new show.
March 23, 2018
Over the course of the season, Barry amounts to something, locating a hit man's shared humanity not in his competence, his guilt, or his remorse, but in his delusional belief that he's a decent person.
March 22, 2018
The show never strays from its down-to-earth storytelling. If it's funny because it's true (or feels true, in this case), then that same principle works for the darker, laugh-less moments.
March 23, 2018
The series likely wouldn't have worked with one-hour episodes. But in a half-hour's time, Barry maximizes its punching power while knowing when and how to drop in a sight gag.
March 21, 2018
Baffling, dull Barry is a bore, and so is the series named for him.
March 23, 2018
You root for him more fiercely than you've ever rooted for a difficult TV antihero, because what he wants is so representative of all anybody wants, in the end.
March 23, 2018
Barry establishes itself as a uniquely empathetic shot of weirdness that hits its target more often than not.
March 25, 2018
Barry is a series where Bill Hader confirms he's much more than a mugging sketch comic. He's a compelling actor with a unique voice who's created one of the best new shows of the year.
March 23, 2018
Barry isn't exactly an easy hang, but it's smart, entertaining and funny.
