When Barry premiered in 2018, it was an eccentric action-comedy series with a simple, goofy premise (a professional hitman decides to become an actor in L.A.). Few could have predicted that five years later, Barry would emerge in its final season as one of the most morally introspective and cinematic TV shows on the air right now. As time has gone on, though, Barry has begun to feel less and less like an ongoing SNL sketch and more like Breaking Bad or No Country for Old Men.
