HBO's hit show Barry is back for its fourth and final season, and fans couldn't be more excited. With Bill Hader at the helm as both the show's lead actor and director, this season promises to be the best one yet. In this article, we'll take a closer look at what fans can expect from the show's final season and why it's one of the best shows on TV.
The Plot
In the fourth season of Barry, Gene Cousineau (played by Henry Winkler) is hailed as a hero after Barry's arrest has shocking consequences. Barry Berkman (played by Bill Hader) is a conflicted hitman-turned-actor who is struggling to leave his old life behind. As he tries to make a new start in Hollywood, he finds himself drawn back into the world of crime. With each passing episode, Barry must grapple with the choices he's made and the person he wants to become.
The Cast
One of the things that makes Barry such a great show is its talented cast. Bill Hader, who plays the show's lead character, has won two Emmys and two Critics Choice Awards for his role. As his acting coach Gene Cousineau, Henry Winkler has also picked up an Emmy and two Critics Choice Awards. Anthony Carrigan, Sarah Goldberg, and Stephen Root also return in their Emmy-nominated roles as Noho Hank, Sally, and Fuches.
The Direction
This season, Bill Hader takes on the role of director for all episodes. He's already proven himself to be a master of both acting and writing, and now he's showing off his directing skills too. With his co-creator, 23-time Emmy nominee Alec Berg (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Silicon Valley), once again co-executive producing, fans can expect great things from this season.
Critical Acclaim
Barry has won nine Emmys and 50 awards for its first three seasons, and it's not hard to see why. Variety hailed season three of Barry as "a masterpiece... funnier and sharper than ever," with "a remarkable performance by Hader." The Daily Beast called it "the best show on TV," and the L.A. Times called it "a masterclass... one of TV's best suspense-filled thrillers."
