Disillusioned at the thought of taking down another "mark," depressed, low-level hit man Barry Berkman seeks a way out. When the Midwesterner reluctantly travels to Los Angeles to execute a hit on an actor who is bedding a mobster's wife, little does Barry know that the City of Angels may be his sanctuary. He follows his target into acting class and ends up instantly drawn to the community of eager hopefuls, especially dedicated student Sally, who becomes the object of his affection. While Barry wants to start a new life as an actor, his handler, Fuches, has other ideas, and the hit man's criminal past won't let him walk away so easily.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

What began as a macabre comedy is now close to completely shorn of genuine mirth, but Bill Hader's masterful indictment of stardom closes the curtain with one hell of an encore.

Judy Berman TIME Magazine 06/07/2023
Hader, now a full-fledged auteur who directed every episode of this final arc, stuck the landing; Barry has earned a place of honor in the antihero (or anti-antihero?) canon. Go to Full Review Inkoo Kang The New Yorker 06/02/2023
The final season of Bill Hader’s HBO series was the most ambitious. Go to Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 06/01/2023
The more anarchic the plotting and character behavior became, the more frustrated I felt trying to give all the shooting and lying and criminal activity some meaning beyond the plot gyrations. Go to Full Review Emma Vine Loud and Clear Reviews Mar 2
5/5
Though season 4 of Barry is darker than ever, Berg and Hader’s arresting final act is an unflawed masterpiece, delivering a jaw-dropping, satisfying conclusion. Go to Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) 01/29/2024
This dark and very funny show about an assassin who wants to be an actor seemed to sail under the radar over here but it’s only improved as its gone on and the new season is excellent. Go to Full Review Nuha Hassan Off Colour 09/08/2023
This season is by far Hader’s best contribution to the series. From the direction, writing, and performance, Hader brings the miserable, angry, and tormented hitman-turned-actor to the screen for the very last time, with humour and darkness... Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dave N @DNeale Mar 9 Overall review of the show S1 - S4: Moments of genius, some hilarious parts, well-acted, with some brilliant characters. The part that lets it down is the plot, which feels increasingly random as the show goes from season to season. In the first season, the high level of comedy means it gets away with ludicrous plot swings, but it morphs into something darker by season 4 and the plot writing should have morphed with it. Instead, we often get something akin to a roadrunner cartoon where the characters react in deeply emotional ways to someone running into a tunnel painted on a wall, and it just felt jarring to me. I loved the emotional resonance of the final season, and the character development, I just wished it had all been wrapped into a plot that made it feel logical and justified and not happening almost at random. NoHo Hank's storyline stands out as the most grounded in believable actions and feelings, which also made it the most powerful. See more Andrew B @ABdestroyer233 Mar 3 Definitely the weakest season of the show but overall it was still very good, and I highly recommend this show to anyone thinking about trying it out. While the time skip was confusing at the start it made sense after some time and overall the ending was pretty good. Final rating for the show 9/10. See more Who K @WhoKnew22 Feb 28 Beginning of the End for Barry a few episodes reminded me of a Nordic Police drama skipped those but it does have a fitting finale See more Daniel M @MazzaQuePasa Nov 21 The show ended extremely emotionally and it didn’t disappoint in ending in a messed up way, since the entire series always had shocking plot twists. Every season felt very different from each other and this one was no different. It definitely had me in my feelings after the last episode. See more Jayden K @RT65638174 Sep 7 Love Bill Hader can't wait to see what he does next he is a great director and writer he will do great things, love the show See more Bailey A @RT81889342 Apr 21 The last half of the season was absolutely terrible. Everything just became more and more gross and uncomfortable. Characters start to make strange decisions that go completely against their image that had been built up thus far.
