Introduction
Barry is an American dark comedy–crime television series created by Alec Berg and Bill Hader that premiered on HBO on 25 March 2018.
Hader stars as Barry Berkman, a former US Marine and a hitman, from Cleveland who travels to Los Angeles to kill someone but finds himself joining an acting class taught by Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler), where he meets aspiring actress Sally Reed (Sarah Goldberg) and begins to question his path in life as he deals with his criminal associates such as Monroe Fuches (Stephen Root) and NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan).
Outline
LAPD detectives investigate the murders of Ryan and the Chechen mobsters and discover a lipstick camera left by Hank, only to be repeatedly stumped at how it works. Barry and Fuches are kidnapped by the Chechens, and Fuches is tortured via tooth-filing until Barry reluctantly agrees to carry out one last hit on an informant. Gene informs his class that Ryan has been murdered. Gene’s students plan an on-stage memorial service for Ryan, where all members will perform a piece in his honour. Sally asks Barry to perform a scene from Doubt, the last piece she and Ryan performed together in the class. At the service, Gene has Ryan’s father show up, who delivers an impassioned speech. The speech causes Barry significant distress because he has never before seen the grief and pain he has inflicted on people who knew Barry’s victims. At the last minute Barry declines to perform the Doubt piece because he is still shaken from the encounter with Ryan’s father. Barry walks Sally home at which time she expresses her desire to have sex with him. To Sally’s surprise Barry declines her advances and rushes off. From afar, a Chechen takes photos of Sally.
