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
A few weeks following Moss’ disappearance, the police close the case citing a lack of leads, sending Gene even further into a grief-stricken withdrawal from life. Upon returning to class after a long absence, Gene declares that the upcoming play is cancelled and that he intends to end the class permanently. Barry convinces Gene to continue the class by telling the story of the first time he killed as a Marine. NoHo Hank finds his flourishing partnership with Cristobal threatened by Esther, the Burmese gang leader that the Bolivians want to bring into the operation. Hank also finds himself facing an assassination attempt from his family back in Chechnya due to his failure to kill Pazar’s assassin. Hank claims that Esther was responsible for Pazar’s death in an attempt to protect Barry. Hank goes to Barry for help, but Barry is furious with him for approaching him in public and turns him away. Later, Hank approaches Barry once more and reminds him that Barry owes him for saving his life, and threatens to kill Barry if he does not carry out a hit on Esther. Meanwhile, Fuches’s unsuccessful attempt to replace Barry back in Cleveland has backfired spectacularly, causing him to get arrested. Unbeknown to him, his DNA is matched to a missing tooth found at the scene of Pazar’s murder. Loach, grief-stricken over the loss of Moss, discovers this and quickly connects Fuches to Barry, surmising that Barry is the man in the grainy lipstick camera footage.
