LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The first two episodes of ‘Barry’ Season 4 showed intent and we knew that things will be getting bleaker and bleaker for the titular character. Barry has already broken us and it might be impossible to put the pieces together. The fourth and final season is going to be filled with shock and awe and got a glimpse of it in the latest episode. Episode 3 of ‘Barry’ Season 4 saw the main character finally revealing all the details about the people he was associated with. FBI agents were really pleased with what Barry (Bill Hader) was doing for them and assured him that they will give him a new life once everything is done.

On the other hand, Hank has made it clear that killing Barry is the right thing to do if he wants to neutralize the threat of being caught. The devastating phone call between the two made things even more interesting as we got an idea that something big is going to happen soon. One thing that makes this season so amazing is how Bill Hader is showcasing his directing talent. The long-tracking shots, car-mounted cinematography, and wide shots make you realize how well-equipped Hader is. He never loses control over the storytelling part and efficiently showcases the horrific nature of its action.

Hader is proving to be a brilliant director

Another thing that makes this episode so amazing is that Barry is ready for vengeance and wants to end everything. Everyone is trying to get out of this web, but it’s not going to be easy.

‘You’re Charming’ is another gritty episode that takes the show to a whole new level. The writing continues to be the backbone of this brilliant series and leaves no stone unturned to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Also, this episode features a special cameo from one of the greatest filmmakers of this generation, Guillermo Del Toro. Yes, you heard it right. Del Toro makes a surprise cameo in Episode 3 of Season 4 and plays the character El Toro who has been invited by Hank to kill Barry. That cameo will truly give you goosebumps and the conversation between them is surely going to make you laugh out loud.
