From the beginning it is known that Barry was always in constant search of his purpose, refusing to accept that he was a bad person and with the desire to have a happy ending with Sally and fit into the world of acting. However his links to crime were unveiled as each episode progressed, this already gave us a clue that his destiny was headed for disgrace and this makes his ending quite digestible.

The first 2 seasons were always loaded with a very black and satirical humor, with well-structured plot twists. But from the third season onwards it becomes more somber and the comic moments are limited, a detail that is not superfluous due to the ambitious approach of the protagonist to make amends for his enemies and the episodes of post-traumatic stress he suffers as a result of his past in the army. The secondary characters always maintain their endearing personalities, facing their own tragedies.

It concludes in a way that although difficult to assimilate because of its impact, it could not be more successful; with a rather superb production and brilliant performances by the cast without exception. It is undoubtedly a dramatic comedy that adapts with excellence an amalgam of emotions through the theatrical journey.

This episode is a masterful conclusion to one of the most original and daring shows of the decade. Bill Hader and Alec Berg have crafted a finale that is both satisfying and surprising, delivering a mix of comedy and tragedy that is rare and remarkable. The episode manages to tie up the loose ends of the story while also leaving room for interpretation and imagination. The flash-forward sequence is especially brilliant, showing how Barry's legacy is distorted by the Hollywood machine and how his son struggles to make sense of his father's actions. The performances are outstanding, with Hader, Winkler, Goldberg and Carrigan giving their best in their final roles. The episode also features some of the most hilarious and shocking moments in the series, such as the bloody shootout between Hank and Fuches' men and the movie version of Barry's life. This episode is a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone who appreciates smart and dark humour.

I have been watching this show ever since the first episode aired way back when I was fifteen and I have not missed a moment, it's crazy that it's over but what's even more nuts is how great the whole ending of the series was. I did not anticipate this at all, like at all- at all. That one shot in Genes house( you know the one I'm referring to where it seems out,) Straight up out of a Andrei Tarkovsky film. To think that the finale of this show and the finale of this aired back to back with only a three minute ad break to separate them is absolutely nuts, HBO is where it's at and it would be any screenwriters privilege to work for such a rarefied company.

Barry leaves with narrative satisfaction. Strong acting & writing from start to finish. You walk away asking the question that has lingered on the subconscious throughout the show: who was I rooting for & why? A show that never once became predictable or subject to cheap tricks. Raw, messed up, dark, ominous, funny, goofy. NoHo Hank remains an all-time character on tv. Bill Hader should be able to get any acting/writing/directing job he wants from here on it. Dude crushes it. Henry Winkler's best role. It feels designed for him. All things considered, a gripping & earned finale to tie a bow on a consistently fresh & unique show.

Barry has always been a show that avoids conventional approaches. After the finale, we can safely say they stuck to that technique until the end.

I don't think anyone was expecting a happy ending to this show, even before season 4 came out, but the conclusion we did receive was even more chaotic than I expected. Once again, Barry keeps me on my toes for the better part of an hour and keeps me guessing until the last second.

Although I am obviously disappointed with how things went, I have to think that that's the point. The seedy world of Hollywood has always played a part in this show, and I'm not surprised it's twisted the ending into its favor. I was wonderfully sad- because that's what this show has always done best: tragedy. This is a no spoiler review, so I won't go into specifics, but almost nothing worked out the way I wanted. And I wouldn't have the show gone any other way.

The cinematography is as always top notch and expertly done. Look for symbolism everywhere and you'll probably find it. I'm sad to see it go, as this was one of the tensest and most creatively produced shows I've ever watched. Farewell, Barry! We loved ya!
