This episode was so dark and twisted and shocking, I'm still processing what happened. I think it's without a doubt the best episode of the series yet and an absolutely triumph in storytelling. This episode felt like a horror show it was so dark. Season 4 can't come fast enough!

Everything in this episode is perfect. The actors deliver strong performances. Scenario, direction, camera, sound, editing are on point.

One of the strengths of the show is the storytelling technique. In this episode, they've left out the jokes and quips. The result is a dark, gripping story that is honest, rather than exaggerated or melodramatic. That honesty is what keeps the story interesting. You can't help but feel for the characters.

I'm really looking forward to season 4.

Bravo Bill Hader. I don't know what I expected when I started watching Barry in season one, but it's definitely not this. What an incredible end to an incredible season of television.

So... I'm floored.

For starters, the sound design in this episode was insane. Made the strangling scene and the Hank scene absolutely terrifying.

I haven't been so disturbed by an episode of TV in a long time.

I discovered HBO's 'Barry' a few years ago, and I have become a huge fan, I actually think that it could be the network's most underrated show, so, I already absolutely adored the show before this season, it's easily in my top five TV shows of all time, but this season took the show to a whole new plain.

'Barry' has always been quite dramatic, almost like 'Succession', how it always surrounds the show's darkest moments with pitch black comedy, but this season took its darkness to a new level, and therefore, punctuated it with dryer, darker humour.

This season we follow Barry, as, once again, he attempts to redeem himself for his violent actions, though, this time, the series' view on redemption takes a much more realistic and bleak view, mostly due-to the events of season two's finale (which I won't spoil here), and, this season doesn't just focus on Barry's darkness, but several other characters' too.

The direction this season has been sensational too, particularly in the episodes directed by Bill Hader, himself, there are several shots this season that I still think about frequently, and some of the staging this season reaches to prestige cinema status. However, I think was truly makes this season is the writing; 'Barry' has always masterfully balanced the art of balancing drama and comedy, but this season takes that to a whole other level, not only is this season's drama heightened to the highest degree, but, the comedy, in turn is much darker and sarcastic, which, isn't necessarily better than previous seasons, but it certainly works more for this season's tone. The acting is phenomenal too, Bill Hader, Sarah Goldberg, Henry Winkler and Anthony Cardigan were all sensational, though, Hader and Winkler were the standouts, in my opinion.

This episode in particular, was the perfect culmination of the entire season, brining together all of the aspects I adored from this season together and topping it all off with some genuinely shocking twists.

'Barry' continues its remarkable strong run, and appears to just grow stronger with every season.
