Barry: Season 4 - TV Reviews? ›

Every scene is crafted with precision, keeping viewers engaged and invested in the characters' fates. Overall, Barry's final season is a must-watch for any fan of dark comedy and gripping drama. It may not be flawless, but its undeniable quality and entertainment value make it a standout addition to the series.

This season is by far Hader's best contribution to the series. From the direction, writing, and performance, Hader brings the miserable, angry, and tormented hitman-turned-actor to the screen for the very last time, with humour and darkness... Fresh score.

The overall storyline plays out well over the 23 episodes, and most of the characters get something to do. A good return to form for The Flash. Fresh score. A solid season but it's disappointing to see some of the supporting players sidelined here.

Barry is an American black comedy crime drama television series created by Alec Berg and Bill Hader that premiered on HBO on March 25, 2018, and concluded on May 28, 2023, after four seasons and 32 episodes.

It's hilarious in its accuracy and absurdity. Indeed, Barry has always excelled at blending humor with its insidious darkness. It's why Anthony Carrigan has continued to evolve as one of the strongest characters (and I'd argue Carrigan is delivering the performance of the season).

Will Barry get a Season 5? Sadly not. Hader has resolutely stated that Barry will end with Season 4. "What happens in Season 4 is structurally radical in some ways, but it made sense for what I think the characters needed to go through, and what I think the whole show is always kind of headed towards," he said.

Overall, Barry's final season is a must-watch for any fan of dark comedy and gripping drama. It may not be flawless, but its undeniable quality and entertainment value make it a standout addition to the series. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!" Content collapsed.

DeVoe explaining his long term plan to Barry. Professor Clifford DeVoe, also known as The Thinker, is the main antagonist of Season 4 and one of the two overarching antagonists (alongside The Reverse-Flash) of Season 5 of the TV series The Flash.

Original multiverse

A mindscape of Clifford DeVoe; he stole the twelve "bus metas"' powers.

Barry creates a vacuum seal around Borman to contain the radiation and Cisco transports it to the dead Earth-15, draining the meta and defeating him. Barry is eventually found guilty by the jury and is sentenced to life in prison. Warden Gregory Wolfe locks him in Henry's old cell.

Is Barry inspired by Dexter? ›

Dexter. Barry got a lot of Dexter comparisons when it first premiered, which makes sense, seeing as Dexter is kind of the blueprint for Barry. Dexter tells the story of Dexter Morgan (Michael C.

Jim Moss is a main character in Barry. He is portrayed by Robert Wisdom. Jim is the father of Janice Moss who, after learning of Barry Berkman's involvement of her murder, works with Gene Cousineau to finally arrest him.

But while the finale left Barry dead and the acting guru Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler) jailed for life, Sally broke good. Having finally left Barry in an effort to protect their son, the one-time actress and showrunner is shown years later, directing high school theater somewhere snowy.

Barry presents himself to be a meek, socially awkward young man, the type of person you wouldn't expect to be a professional killer. While his past is childhood is for the most part unknown, we learn he suffers from PTSD during his time as a marine in Afghanistan.

This does the trick, and Barry returns to his normal self before the credits roll. Starring Grant Gustin as the Scarlet Speedster, The Flash airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW. The series also stars Jesse L. Martin, Tom Cavanagh, Carlos Valdes, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Keiynan Lonsdale and more.

After Barry Allen's return from the Speed Force, he started talking nonsense things (which in reality were events from the past and the future) and writing this mysterious language on the walls of the CCPD and the pipeline.

Season 4 smartly answers the question of who the real hero of “Barry” is: nobody. The theme that has been constantly tackled throughout the series is what makes a person good and can a person change their nature or not. Can bad people turn into not bad people?

In the final minutes of the series, a now-teenaged John (Jaeden Martell) watches The Mask Collector, a true-crime thriller that paints Gene as the villain convicted of murdering both Barry and Janice, and Barry as the noble hero laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery.

It's revealed in the parodic film that fills Barry's final scenes, recreating the events of Barry through a bizarro Hollywood lens. As to how Winkler is feeling about it all? We get into it. Vanity Fair: Barry is officially finished.

Critics Reviews

Barry might be shadowy but it's never grim, and it is unexpectedly insightful. Content collapsed. Great work from Hader and Henry Winkler as his acting teacher elevates the story to something that stuck with me stubbornly all year.
