Barry Berkman is a war veteran who finances his living as a Hitman after his service - his partner and old friend of his father, Fuches, gets the jobs. When Barry travels to Los Angeles just for another job, he more or less accidentally stumbles into an acting school and thereby finds his love for acting.
Now it's important to somehow reconcile these two things - but that's easier said than done.
I've never seen a premise as unique as "Barry" - it's truly incomparable.
If I had to describe the series somehow, I would say it's a little like Dexter, only with a lot more comedy.
That's another thing that makes this series so special. It combines genres that I've never seen combined before - namely serious crime and light-hearted comedy. What sounds a bit absurd at first actually works surprisingly well!
I have almost nothing to complain about in the series. The actors do their roles well, the camera work isn't often special, but when it is, it's extremely well done and the writers did a phenomenal job anyway!
In my opinion, the ending could have been better, but "Barry" is still a unique series that is very refreshing in a time where many productions are only produced and written after the same formulas.
