What is Barry?
Barry is an HBO drama series that started life as a darkly funny comedy, then transitioned fully into dark drama territory. It stars Bill Hader as Barry Berkman, an army-trained hitman who discovers he has a love for acting. Barry kills to earn a living – but something about being on stage makes him want to leave it all behind. However, in this show, nobody gets what they want.
As Barry becomes more involved in the theater world, he starts to question his violent past and considers leaving the hitman life behind. However, complications arise when his past – and inexplicably cheerful gangster NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan) – catches up to him, and he must choose between his new life and his old one.
