The cinematography and sound mixing on the lane splitting scenes was unreal. Very cool to watch. 
 

Also; how is Mitch going to franchise? There’s only one Mitch! 

[TheStoicPaisano 9,922]

Mitch was great, as were Vanessa Bayer/Hodges in the pitch scene.

interested in seeing what they do with Bunny Colvin.

[TexasMan 10,919]

Bil Hader is such a good director. Hopefully he gets some more projects. 

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4,976]

My wife watched the latest one with me tonight and kept asking who all these people who want to kill him are. Honestly, I don't remember any of them because the previous seasons were so long ago, but I really don't care.

[Prepuce of Doom 21,084]

Beignets by Mitch is an excellent plot device.

Car salesman was also great.  Not today!

[sidis 9,832]

that was the first episode this season that i enjoyed from beginning to end.

It seems he came into his own here. I recall he did one with the ninja kid that was very odd.

lmao at anyone who dropped out of this season.

i wonder what the percentage is of people who say, "that's it, i'm done with this show" who actually follow through and stop watching.

i bet those people secretly watch.

Probably the same percentage who say they are "done" watching Longhorn football each year

I'd agree.  Especially this just being a 30 minute show with 8 episode season.  People pretend like there time is worth a lot all the time but they know it's not.  I waste more than 30 minutes a week just staring into blank space.

After all the bitching on this thread about the first 2 episodes I was tempted to give up.  Glad I didn't.

[NotActuallyALonghorn 4,976]

I said it before, but I think this series would benefit from binging more than a weekly drop. Or at least dropping the first three or so episodes before going weekly.

[Texas St. Armadillos 1,381]

Getting pretty dark.  Per Bill Hader, next week's finally will be very intense.

[hornian 5,219]

My wife and I were talking before the show, and she said “I don’t think Barry died; I think it is like the Leftovers and he goes to purgatory.”

she wasn’t 100% correct, but pretty damn close.

Not gonna lie.  I'm disappointed with this season so far.  There have been a few glimmers of greatness, but overall it feels like they've run out of ideas.

 

On 5/10/2022 at 2:02 PM, Gene Parmesan said:

The last episode was boring as shit.  I'd agree they probably don't have a good idea where to take the story.  The threads are all fucked up and not entertaining.

I watched the first two episodes and have no desire to watch the third episode. It's about as entertaining as watching paint dry. The drama is unappealing, the humor falls flat which makes the characters unlikable.

First 3 episodes were meh to shit. Last 2 have been pretty solid. Good. Hopefully they’ve found their season 3 footing

I was never done with it, just disappointed after the first three episodes.  Last few have been much more entertaining.  

[mdleast 8,295]

I have been on board with this show the whole time though, as it and he has taken a darker turn, I’m fascinated/baffled as to how they’ll be able to stick the landing when it comes to a series finale.

[TexasMan 10,919]

What the fuck

There's another season

[mycox 582]

I would love to see another season, but I think this is the perfect ending, The End

[henrygandorf 29,192]

hader wrote 3 and 4 during covid, so there’s that. 

[Fletch 5,800]

Wtf did I just watch? That was fucking nuts. Definitely going to have to watch that again. Of course, Sally. She’s always given me a “hide the knives” vibe. 

[Pam Cummings 9,645]

Definitely agree that the beginning of the season sucked. I liked it as it went on....but definitely found myself rooting against Barry and hoping that someone kills him. The various attempts at "payback" on him were humorous though. And obviously i thought he deserved what he got at the end of the season.

 

Shoulda listened to Mitch on that zoom sesh for sure. Dip that toe, bro.

[Biff Tannen 45,691]

Man, that was fucking dark.  So is it done?

Edited June 30, 2022 by Biff Tannen
apparently not. they greenlit season 4

[Baboontyme 2,814]

you know someone is going to get Barry out of prison because they need him to take care of something for them. Probably something to do with Elena/Fernando and they're going to need him to go after Cristobal or Hank.

the character i cant stand is stephen root's.  he serves no purpose - didnt when he was on barry's side, or against.  he's a con artist and has no value.  someone needs to off that mother.

[Biff Tannen 45,691]

I'm going to give season 4 a shot, but they really need to step it up.  The whole appeal of Barry was that is was a dark comedy.  Season 3 was just fucking dark and not only that, just fucking weird.

I hate his story lines too. They're pointless and dumb. But he was great in the beginning, and i enjoy his shenanigans, so i give it a pass. It definitely feels like they've set it up to where Barry and Fuches can reunite in prison.

[Sawbonz 27,580]

He’s going to end up doing hits for the government 

 

 

 

[HiggyBaby 2,538]

Have to admit this one fell off my radar during Covid. Fully caught up now. Season 3 bought the lulz. Motorcycle chase. Too many dogs. Voice to text. And some seriousness with Barry’s buddy telling him this isn’t him. Sally’s a bit much though. I think somehow Barry’s buddy comes through next season.

[Lurch 5,931]

That was a great chase.

Just got here … HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[Michael Knight 12,988]

this show got pretty dark

[Lurch 5,931]

Great finale,imo

[MeerkatBong 115]

Just binged this; it's awesome. Bill Hader is a beast. The ability for this show to go from dramatic and tense to comedic and absurd, from scene to scene, and have it work, is amazing and why this show is special to me.

[Lurch 5,931]

Fuck yeah

[Stringer 1,439]

Sounds like this will be the last season. Probably a good idea. It’s not built to go on forever.

I'm surprised it didn't end last season, but glad they have another chance, because season 3 was the worst by far.

Season 1 was basically perfect. A perfect dark comedy. Season 2 was really good. Season 3 was.... not really funny at all. This looks similar. I'm not sure if I'll even watch.

After the first or second episode of last season I just fast forwarded through all of the girlfriend's plot and it was much better.
