She’s quite alone in this new reality, save for her co-worker, Gina. She’s constantly fending off misogyny from the customers, having to play up her Southern hospitality charm to please the patrons. Not only is the vibe eerie and soul-sucking, but it’s literally dirty. Now, she’s working as a waitress in the dingiest diner you ever did see. Sally is the most miserable she’s ever been, yearning for the days when tanking an audition and losing roles to her friends were her biggest and only problems. It’s quite clear that this “normal” cookie-cutter life that Barry has been hoping for is the furthest thing from perfect.

He just wants to hide out in Sally’s apartment, but Sally, who is also at the end of her own (less bloody) rope, defiantly says, “Let’s go.” Now, where are they going, exactly?Įnter the time jump! Eight years have passed, Barry and Sally have a son John ( Zachary Golinger Jr.) and they are attempting a “normal” life in a very remote part of the country (like, no trees, no next-door neighbors, and everything-has-to-be-delivered-to-them sort of remote). Bloodied and battered from his prison breakout and subsequent shootout with Witness Protection after one of NoHo Hank’s ( Anthony Carrigan) men sneaks in and attempts to kill him, Barry is at the end of his rope. At the end of Episode 4, “it takes a psycho,” Barry lurks in the literal shadows of Sally’s ( Sarah Goldberg) apartment, where he waits to make a massive request. The boldest part about Season 4 so far is the intense timejump. In other words, it isn’t stagnant fan service-it’s propulsive storytelling.

Barry's cameos are not only impressive, but strategic and dignified. Along the way, a number of colorful (and dangerous) characters enter Barry’s orbit, inevitably wrinkling his naive plans to shed his identity. The more Barry gets sucked into this world of make-believe and creative expression, the more he wants to shed his killer lifestyle. This was then followed by a sigh of relief, because, as painful as it is to have such a remarkable show come to an end when it at times feels like it’s just beginning, it’s also very reassuring to know that it’ll be going out on top.Ĭo-created by Bill Hader and Alec Berg, the dark comedy, which has become increasingly dark with each episode, follows Hader’s Barry Berkman, an ex-Marine-turned hitman whose job takes him to an acting class in California and introduces him to the world of the-a-ta. When it was announced that Season 4 of HBO’s critically acclaimed series Barry would be its last, a collective gasp could be heard from its many loyal viewers. Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Season 4 of Barry.
