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 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. Jun 7, 2023 Full Review Inkoo Kang The New Yorker The final season of Bill Hader’s HBO series was the most ambitious. Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe 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. Jun 1, 2023 Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) 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. Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Nuha Hassan Off Colour 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... Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Melody McCune Geek Girl Authority Here’s to you, Barry, a series that took us for a wild ride over four heart-pounding seasons. This show’s trajectory is something I never could have predicted. Aug 23, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Bailey A 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Matis E One of the best show of all time. Everything is great. Watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review sachin a One of the best last seasons in tv history the pacing is 2 fast and it should have been 2 seasons Hader did an amazing job creating a masterpiece episodes with it takes a psycho and wow were real highlights wow is one of the best series finale in tv history its not my fault you don't get it you smooth brain f*ck. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Ben B Holy crap what a season! I'm watching it again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Pat B Season 1 of this was brilliant TV, but I must admit it takes a steady decline from there. By the time you get to Season 4, not only is Barry is quite unlikeable, but the whole plot has been stretched to the point of exhaustion. Like a lot of good shows, they should have clocked out a little earlier, back on top. The assassin took too long to hit the target in this case. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/30/24 Full Review Gareth v The weakest of all the seasons but still a fine season nonetheless. A lot less laughs here with a focus on the pathos of all involved. While a lot of shows struggle to find a decent conclusion, here they nail the ending. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/14/24 Full Review Read all reviews
