Barry

Bill Hader and Henry Winkler star in Barry, a gripping, funny and dark dramedy currently streaming on Netflix. It is as unpredictable as it is addicting.

I clicked on this show knowing nothing about it and was instantly hooked by the consistent flow of unique and surprising circumstances surrounding Barry (Bill Hader), a former soldier and assassin currently pursuing a career in, of all things, acting. As one would expect, it is not easy for Barry to leave his past life behind him, even as he begins to fully enjoy his acting classes (led by Henry Winkler) and his interesting array of classmates. Through Barry's daily experiences with friends, foes and a love interest, all with dynamic personalities, Barry's own personality and true self begins to unfold on screen with entertaining, profound, and shocking results.
