So I wasn't really much of a fan of the first season, because to be quite honest, I didn't see any ounce of an attempt at comedy, and I came in there expecting a dark comedy tv show, and the story itself wasn't that interesting. But when I started season 2, from the very first episode it had all the dark comedy and drama stuff that I wanted from season 1. So season 2 totally made up for season 1, and I'm enjoying the show now.
This season opener's opening is a great at throwing you quickly back into the world of Barry with a little flavor of comedy and dark.
They deal with all the characters that are left from last season and show where they are and what they're doing now, and they do a good job with it considering the short 30-minute runtime.
Barry seems to have completely lost his mind and he's seeing ghosts everywhere he goes.
I'm not sure if it was confirmed or was shown in previous seasons, but this episode firmly confirms what we all wondered about NoHo Hank. And Hank is as entertaining as ever.
Also I gotta mention that the ending scene with Mr. Cousineau and Barry was Looney Tunes level of goofiness. It really feels like plot armor, because it is, but I guess it makes sense in the world of Barry and for the character of Cousineau, and it also adds so much comedic value to the show.
All in all, it works great as an introductory episode and sets up big plot lines and consequences for next episodes. I just wish the episodes were a little longer.
