Absolutely agree here.

Although you could now argue it's moved past pretty much everyone but Barry/Hank/Cristobal.

Yep its going to be hard to see how sally and gene still fit into the story.

I was the other way around. I thought the acting class scenes were some of the best from the first two seasons.

There was nothing as good in season 3 as Barry having the meltdown on stage after killing Chris.

This season was choc full of those sorts of scenes. They were far less frequent in the first two seasons. Thats what made this season so great. That and the obscure humour.

I don't think more necessarily means better.

And season 1 and 2 were much funnier imo.

Its criminal that this show isnt getting the attention it deserves.

its last season was vastly superior to anything we have seen in better call saul, ozark and the Boys. Yet they get all the attention.

But you just said that thats the reason season 2 was better. Cos it had the dramatic moment with Chris! So dramatic moments make season 2 good but make season 3 bad?

i agree there was more comedy in previous seasons. but i found the comedy this season funnier cos it came unexpectedly in intense moments.

the one downside with this season is we felt a little too disconnected from Barry. it wasnt properly portayed what his thinking and motivations are in the scenes that he was in.

it actually seemed that hank, gene, sally and even fuches took over the main character role at times with barry becoming a side character.

'Criminal'.

How dare the show I like not get the attention I feel it deserves at the expense of shows I don't like!

Gotta have something to whinge about I guess.

The Chris thing happened in Season 1. Just rewatched s1 because there was a lot I’d forgotten. Taylor what a character…those phone calls…”Barry, Taylor. You didn’t kill the Bolivians yet did ya? I really want to kill them with you, so give me a buzz…bye”.

The scene with the helmet 'handoff' just about had me in stitches haha. It was almost too well done, it almost felt out of place with what was going on around it.

Good review….

Who’s laughing now? Barry is game-changing TV with a point to prove

The latest season of Bill Hader’s black comedy about a disaffected hitman is a transformative television experience.

Just started this after reading through the comments here. 2 eps in, so far so good, will continue with it. Wouldn't say its a comedy as yet however

100 percent rating by critics on rotton tomatoes.

yet the masses arent taking an interest. Its just plain weird.

 

[Kong]

Yeah I didn’t enjoy season 3 nearly as much as 1 and 2.

It had its moments, but overall it felt a bit disjointed.

 

[Milanista28]

One of the best shows I've watched recently, binged 3 seasons fairly quick, couldn't stop watching. I think Barry consoling Sally after her show gets cancelled is the my favourite scene of all time.

 

[Calcium]

remember the barry machine at the pub

 

[00Stinger]

Just binge watched all 3 series, ****ing sick show

 

[burge13]

Really liked this but S2E5 with the kid is among the dumbest episodes of any show ive ever seen. What in gods name were they thinking here

You mean the episode that has a current rating of 9.8 on IMDB and is considered by a lot to be the best episode of the series ?

You're kidding?! That baffles me. Easily the worst ep ive watched, by far too.

Hannah Gadsby is rated highly so dgaf what the majority think tbh. That is an awful episode.

 

[Kong]

Yeah that was the best episode of the entire show, in my opinion.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

That ep was epic!

 

[burge13]

The demonic taekwondo child ep? That part was so out of place and weird

I have Saul #1 and Barry #2 of shows I've watched this year. Both very different but very good.

Saul a more traditional long-form dramatic arc made with meticulous precision, Barry just wildly creative, all over the place tone-wise with Hader chucking every idea he has at the wall.

Thinking back to the goofiness of Season 1, (e.g. those early scenes with Fuches and Hank's Chechen gang) contrasting that to the super-dark places it goes in Season 3 is nuts.

I'm with the masses, the whole episode was amazing. The end sequence is the store is legit one of the best 6 minutes of television I've ever seen.

From "How do I breathe without you" playing as Barry spots Ronny wheezing for air, to Barry saying "Hey Ronny, don't be an arseh*le" after trying to murder him and his kid all day, to Ronny lining Barry up with the running fly kick and missing by 5 feet.

Class.

The child with superpowers randomly in an otherwise "normal people" show ruined it. If there's no more of that nonsense itll be good

A few shows do it these days, where an off beat ep props up. The Leftovers did it and it was one of the best hour of tv you could see. It’s just creativity ..shows don’t have to be so linear all the time.
