710N

Fuches has got to go. If Bill hader doesn't get an emmy for this episode, I'd be so disappointed. The plot twist was insane, this episode was so funny too, reminds me of that karate girl episode.

Did I walk into an alternate reality where "Barry" is slowly turning into a "John Wick" film? I mean, it feels like he's always been a little inspired by those films with his incredible marksman skills, but this just seems like we're entering that territory where he's a man that everybody wants to get down. It's almost like if the Coen brothers had directed those films. That would be this. And from what I've seen so far during these past three seasons, it's not something that I would have ever turned down seeing. Because "Barry" is staying in that amazing territory that it's been in ever since it first started. It hasn't had a misstep yet. It continues to evolve to places where we don't expect, and now, we've arrived at a place where our main character is in such deep s-t that I'm not sure where he'll be at the end of this season. If they hadn't already announced that a fourth season, I would have been very worried for Barry. However, I feel good in thinking that he's not going to end up in a ditch somewhere at the end of three, so I'm just along for the ride at the moment. And "710N" was another great stop on that ride. With Bill Hader back behind the camera, we get an episode that's equal-parts hilarious and badass, with an incredibly complex chase scene that just ended in the most "Barry"-fashion you could imagine. It pulled out everything and it succeeded at perfection.

First of all, this episode was able to acquire a level of humor that "Barry" has been so good at. It's always bordered on the surreal, but in this episode, it took that to a new level. All from the motivations of these bikers to an incredible running gag with this baker who just spits out gold whenever he opens his mouth. That's where the Coen effect comes in, as they've already been great at writing those great idiotic characters. These writers do that too and I'm so happy they do, because it's an amazing source of pure comedic gold.

Fuches has been a big question mark for me all season. I was confused at to what actually drove him to do all this. This episode made it clear that he has a burning hatred towards Barry for "replacing" him and that's actually quite relatable. Of course, these writers in their brilliance takes it to another level, but it's such a human emotion to feel jealousy over something and I think they've hit a great spot for this character. I mean, he's doing wrong things in his attempt at getting back at him, but who cares, it's just great television.

The big thing that people will talk about is the amazing highway chase scene in this film. And while it may not be the most action-packed shoot of all time, it's such a tense scene. As we constantly follow Barry trying to keep calm and get away, there's a clear sense that the intensity is rising and giving way to a real dread. Of course, Barry takes it with ease and ends the chase in the coolest way possible, not even really having to do anything during the whole thing. Except colliding with a biker head-on and stealing his ride.

I'm also a fan of seeing more of Barry's circle from the military. Now with Albert back as an interesting foil, it's gonna be exciting to see which way they take this. We've already seen how his relationship with his L. A. circle have gone downhill because of his doings as a hitman, so it's only a matter of time before it's going to impact the way his old friends see him. Or maybe they're sympathetic towards the whole thing? It's such an interesting dynamic they all have, so it would be fascinating to see if they made it more layered.

With "710N," the writers have upped the stage in terms of their grounded action and humor, although still not as perfect as "ronny/lily" last season. However, it's on its own and its focus on driving the story onwards while still delivering iconic and standout moments is something that makes me happy to be a fan.

One of the best episodes in television history! Great mix of wisdom, master class acting, and suspense that is superb to witness! The numerous croissant scenes are so good, all the Sally bits, and everything with Barry is glorious; even Fuches (Stephen Root) has some suspense. What a whirlwind of greatness directed by Bill Hader!!

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.

Normally, I get impatient with action scenes because I'm more interested in dialogue. "Barry" manages to create action sequences that just make my jaw drop and keep me glued to the screen. This is my second favorite chase scene of all time - for the entire chase, my stomach was in knots and I couldn't look away. So well done, so nerve-wracking! Far too realistic, which is a good thing even if it means I'm going to have nightmares. PLUS, all the action in no way lessened the progress of the main plot or the humor! Everything felt in balance, particularly because the character development occurred naturally and the humor of the beignet guru lightened things up (particularly with Noho Hank's response to him). So many highs and lows in such a short time! One of the best constructed episodes of the series, certainly.
