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

When Barry is imprisoned, Fuches, his fellow inmate, fears for his life and wears a wire for the FBI to extract a confession from Barry, who instead apologises to Fuches for not heeding his judgement on Gene. Gene, meanwhile, is hailed as a hero for his role in Barry’s arrest; Jim tells him not to exploit the case for publicity, but Gene arranges a meeting with Vanity Fair reporter Lon O’Neil. Sally is horrified to learn of Barry’s crimes as she returns home to her parents, but clashes with her antagonistic mother over her TV series. Hank and Cristobal attempt to start a legitimate business by investing in construction sand. Barry provokes a friendly guard into beating him, prompting visions of his childhood; Fuches finds him and tearfully apologises for taking advantage of him.
