Barry: Season 1 (DVD)

Bill Hader proves he is much more that just one of SNL's previous impressionist/skit man. This dark comedy series is one of the finest programs ever produced. It is truly engrossing, unique and deserves everyone's attention. Why HBO hasn't released season's 2 and 3 on DVD is a mystery (unless sales have been very low).For those of you who enjoyed the quality of series like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Mr Inbetween and Rescue Me, this is a show you should not pass on.Season 4 (coming in April 2023) will be the last season and I can only hope that HBO will release this top quality series on DVD once the run is complete. The series is fast paced, original and doesn't drag on forever with only 4 seasons, nine 30 minute episodes per season.Buy the first season on DVD and maybe HBO will see that there is good reason to continue to release the remaining seasons of this series.

It took until Season Two for me to really appreciate this series. I didn't like at first that Bill Hader wasn't being the funny one. His character was like a stone in a river with all the other actors flowing around him doing most of the emoting and quirkiness. Then, almost like Barry gradually learns to act, so does Hader. You start seeing the depth of his character. Henry Winkler is astoundingly good in this, too. Anthony Carrigan as "Noho Hank" is a comedy revelation. Steven Root plays the nuts and bolts off his character as Barry's handler. The cast is fantastic. Superb show!

I worked as an actress in L.A. for 12 years and this show is spot on. Henry Winkler is perfect and hilarious as the drama teacher. The show is compelling, thrilling and extremely funny!

Excellent show. Where are the other seasons on DVD????

It’s a must watch.

Definitely in my top five. Right up there with Better Call Saul, Breaking Bad, and The Wire

I have seen nothing like this series. It is written well enough that you can forget you are watching fiction. I like the way that Barry starts out a cold killing machine and is morphing toward a more well rounded soul. He has a personal code that makes you like him. The entire cast works well, but Henry Winkler is the stand out, of course. His trajectory is going the opposite of Barry. He began warm, professional and focused. But life keeps pushing him around, and he seems poised for anything by the end of Season 2. I watched this DVD then streamed Season 2, and it was an awesome binge. Can't hardly wait for Season 3!

Bill Hader performs the TV series hat trick plus one with his brilliant writing, directing, producing and acting in the cable series "Barry" (shades of Alan Alda on "MASH"). There are moments of acting from him in these episodes that are transcendent. One would think it would be a hard enough sell to convince the viewing public that he was a hit man, much less plum the emotional depths he explores in a comedy! The entire cast is spot on as well, always finding & maintaining the unique tone set by its star. I love how it walks the line as an homage to Quentin Tarantino, The Sopranos, and Ionesco. If you haven't seen this, do so immediately!!! The Emmys it won were all well-deserved.

Was hoping I could find seasons 2 & 3 on disc as well after I bought this one but after doing a bunch of looking around the web it looks like they haven't been released ....seems dumb to release 1 season and not the rest but it is what it is . Watched the episodes over 2 nights and really enjoyed them . Will keep looking for the other seasons . Internet forums are guessing that after the 4th season has aired and made enough $ for the creators they may release the whole series as a box set ? We'll see .

Love it, great show

All the acting is so good.

A good blend of action, drama and comedy

Serie an sich super nur die Hülle hat schaden abbekommen. Die DVD war sehr schlecht verpackt!!
