How is this show so good?
This is the craziest episode of Barry ever and I don't think they can ever top this, but since the show is so unpredictable and each episode is better than the last, I wouldn't be shocked if they topped the craziness of this one in the next season!
I have no idea how I didn't laugh one single time while watching season 1, yet I'm laughing my ass off at each and every single scene of season 3! This episode is just hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing. I don't know what happened between seasons 1 and 2 and 3, if they got better writers or not (and I'm not saying the writing was bad in season 1, it just didn't have good comedy in my opinion) but the writing in this season has been so fkn good and the comedy is so hilarious that made me turn my 8 rating for the whole show to a 9!
The unpredictability of this show is just unmatched! The first scene had my jaw dropped to the floor, even though I knew what was gonna happen after it. The whole chase sequence had my jaw dropped to the floor. The last scene had my jaw dropped to the floor and I did not see that ending coming. The red herring they gave us with that particular plot line was phenomenal and made the twist so much better!
The writing has been getting so clever with its comedy and I love it. Like the scene where Barry is walking through the clothing store and loudly sending a voice to text message to Sally and the cut to Sally reading it out loud and being confused is one of the funniest scenes of the show and reminded me of another similar scene earlier in this season where the manager guy was listing every name people have given to Gene and continue saying it in the store. The comedy is just top-notch.
It just keeps better and better, and that's not the only part. The cinematography!
Oh my god what an amazing cinematography is put to display in this episode. The whole chase scene with its amazing practical effects combined with the creative and breathtaking cinematography made that chase one of the most memorable and amazing sequences I've seen in a show. The chase was something out of GTA and the craziness of this episode can definitely rival GTAV's.
I'm not gonna write a lot more so I can keep it short and also don't spoil anything about the plots and what happens, but overall, in my opinion, this is the best episode of the whole show and I don't even know if season 4 or the last two episodes of this season can top it. The writing, the comedy, the plot progression, the cinematography, the twists, and the unpredictability is just amazing and this episode was just a joy to watch for the cinematography alone.
Absolutely amazing and hands down the best episode of Barry and also one of the best episodes of any show I've seen.
