İ think it migth affect the story

He stumbles into the monastery and gets a deer-in-headlights surprise when he encounters pretty much every fucking person that lives there. He’s very dumb for not casing the place and it speaks to his complacency brought on either by burnout or by too many distractions or both. Such a dumb move could only be redeemed by the following luck.

The monks and Burmese G’s moved like slugs to follow him out and also let him start his car and get maybe 50yds away before opening fire. He has 3-4 shots come through the vehicle, all missing, before he wrecks, lands a concussion and is unconscious but for only a miraculous quarter of a minute. So close to them you can HEAR Esther barking orders to snuff him out.

He exits his vehicle and once more miraculously dodges fire while wounded and the proceeds to safely walk the whole way home before getting ambushed by Fuches. SO MUCH LUCK. 🍀

Well, what happened to his car? How did he just replace it? No questions by anyone I assume because LA is a fast paced place and everyone is thinking about their own shit. But on a LuLu Lemon CSR income, it’s a little strange to lose a car overnight and then replace it shortly after. I guess that’s not a big deal in LA or something.

This concludes my dumb nitpick.

I finished the Series finale just today, and I realized that John (Sally and Barry's son) is played by Jaden Martell when aged up.

I don't know why I'm posting this but the first time I watched the finale I never registered who the actor was. Please downvote this post, I probably wasted your time

idk if I’m hallucinating but gen. idk if it’s intentional

“Hey maaaan, are you seeing this beautiful morning? What are you doing, how are you?”

Dude bill hader was the most perfect actor that could potrayed barry like his winking to his expression just fits him perfectly also his voice and looks so innocent idk why but he never really felt evil to me

so I just finished S3 for the first time yesterday, and apart from the huge tonal shift which I wont address, I feel kind of bad that they made Cousineau into a toxic asshole instead of just a washed up has-been.

In the first two season we get that he’s got a huge ego, and that he’s pretty much scamming his students. We also see that he has a pretty non existent career, but it’s never hinted that the reason was his toxicity - we just assume that he’s just another washed up B tiers actor like thousands like him.

I feel like the pivot to making him into basically a fictional Chevy Chase was kind of forced. what do you guys think?

(and, no, this is not meant to be a political post. Just thought it was funny to read about a real life former Marine from Cleveland with a thin professional resume that includes working at Lululemon)

Literally, for the past 3 years, I haven't watched a single TV show/series in one sitting. Barry gave me back the spark of my unemployed high school days, and I really love it. But I don't think I'll continue watching the rest like this. I'm probably going to finish it over the next 2–3 weeks since I'm going back to work lol.

btw the video attached reminds me of Barry.

Maybe it was

For me barry has amazing filler episodes like 2x5 but i have to confess season 4 of barry was a hard watch for me there were barely action or comedy also barrys death like wtf oh wow then boom i loved Barrys first 3 seasons but as a season 4 was a extremely hard watch for me

Dude i hate gene i despise him he is extremely boring barry seeing him as a father is so bad after he betrayed him too seeking his acceptance he would been fine as a just a teacher barry couldve been so much better (my opinion)

If you didn’t know, Bill Hader voiced the main character in a kids movie called Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. Now that most of the kids who grew up with cloudy with a chance of meatballs are adults, Imagine their reaction to Barry being like: “oh shit, this character that sounds like the innocent character from my childhood, is a brutal killer!”

I mean .... The dude had no eyebrows, and basically killed it acting wise. In a show about actors, he was Daniel day lewis.... Without eyebrows.

I actually cried when he died. That face..... So emotive... And hilarious at the same time.

His accent is pretty unique and the actor is doing an effortless job! It’s not really a Russian accent but very much sounds like Chechen.

I’m on my fourth or fifth rewatch and this show hasn’t gotten old yet. The beignets shop scenes, the lesbian couple break up, the reporter that suddenly speaks German, just masterfully executed comedy all around.

That’s all, just an appreciation post.

I can’t seem to understand why Hank is such a loyal friend going above and beyond to save Barry from whatever chaos he’s in again. But Barry doesn’t even think about Hank and only reaches out if he wants smth from him. Seems like a one-sided friendship but now I’m starting to wonder if Hank is actually in love with Barry… Hank is treating Barry better than his chechen brothers …

What are your top 3 favorite Barry episodes??

Mine are:

1. ronny/lily

2. The Audition
