Barry 2018

This show changes from "best show ever" to "what is this trash" every 100 minutes.

GOOD
+ There are several action scenes that are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Camera, choreography, pacing... you haven't seen anything like this - especially not in a TV show. If you're gonna skip this show, at least watch episode "ronny/lily" (till the end of the supermarket scene) and the motorbike chase in 3x06 (until the shotgun shootout at the car dealer)!
+ Hank
+ Several hilariously funny scenes (especially season 1)
+ Just when you thought you were watching a comedy, the show hits you with gut-wrenching drama or violence.

BAD
- After season 1, the overarching story goes down the drain. Don't try to make sense of what people do in season 2 - it gets a little better in season 3.
- WTF is Fuches' storyline? Or Sally's? Or Barry's? There is no growth, no change, they repeat the same sht over and over and over.
- Everyone other than Hank is terrible and you soon wish they would die in a fire. Yes, even supporting characters like the acting students.
- Barry oscillates between 500 IQ mastermind and stuttering idiot that falls into every amateur trap available (see ending of season 3).
