In case you didn't catch it, the man that Sally saw in her dream on the airplane was the guy she killed the last episode of season 3. The guy who took a knife to the eye
he’s also muffin the dog, i didnt quite remember last season’s details until i saw someone say that muffin is that guy. she was asking barry if he hid the body and took care of it
100% agree. when the show started, you could tell Bill was shy and nervous to be surrounded by all these S tier actors and he didn't really let it all go, but now you can tell he gives it his all and he's much more comfortable on his own set. he's an incredible actor
My absolute favourite show of all time came back with 2 crazy episodes masterfully directed by the genius of Bill Hader! No other show can make me squirm, cringe, cry, have near panic attacks, yet somehow make me die laughing in the next scene! What a show! The world deserves a Bill Hader and Alec Berg movie!
It's crazy how they can meld 2 completely different scenes together and it doesn't feel weird. You go from some heavy emotional scene to laughing your ass off.
Within 2 scenes Sally's mother easily secured her spot on my personal Top 10 Worst Fictional Parents list lol Props to the actor, Romy Rosemont (she's actually Stephen Root aka Fuches' wife. Hader saw her at a cast & crew party and talked to the casting director, Allison Jones. They both agreed that Rosemont would be great for this role)!!
@RDS 1) We still don't really know what Sally was actually like as a kid/teenager, and it's actually been all but outright stated through the series that the worst of Sally's egotism actually stems from bad self-esteem from her abusive marriage to Sam. Which would have been after she left home and her mother no longer had to "put up" with her. 2) Even if it were true that she's had to put up with Sally's entitled dramatics in the past, that still in no way justifies the mother clearly caring far more about her own reputation and *Sam's* reputation than anything to do with Sally when she learns about 'Joplin'. I'll say again: Sally's own mother demonstrated more concern for the guy who choked and abused her daughter than concern for her daughter who went through said choking and abuse and is clearly still harbouring trauma from it considering she wrote a TV show about it. The mother even uses the fact that Sally doesn't have a daughter to sweep the abuse under the carpet and claim Sally's exaggerating or even making it up. I'm sorry but even if your kid is a brat, that is a horrific response as a parent. 3) Sally finds out that she was dating a murderer in LA and descends into what's clearly a panic attack and the mother just sits there and does/says absolutely nothing to even try to help or calm her down. Again, even if your child was a brat growing up, that is truly horrific parenting. Sally is very unlikeable in a number of ways but if you truly think the mother is behaving in a justified manner...let's just say I hope you're not in a guardianship position over any kids.
Barry is such a fascinating character. He's utterly awful, but I still can't help but feel very, VERY bad for him. I keep hoping that he finds a way to find a happy ending himself. But that's not really going to happen. Nor does he really deserve one, imo. Just hoping for an honest ending for the character that is suits him. Hader keeps ABSOLUTELY knocking it out of the park with the direction and performance.
Same. I think part of that is because he's only really finding his own agency after all this time and trying to be better, and everyone else is so self centered and makes it really hard to feel sorry for them in the way they'd want. Gene, Sally, Fuches... Even Noho, who I'd argue actually sees Barry as a friend in his own mobby way. They're alp terrible in their own way. If Sally was so high road, she wouldn't be going to make sure she's okay when it comes to the "dog" that "bit her", although I do believe her about her feeling safe around him. Idk. Either way, it's been a great ride. I want him to get some kind of chance to get out and at least have that chance, but I don't think we're getting any happily ever afters.
I didn’t even know the series was over until I watched the last episode. I wasn’t expecting what we got at all. It was just so sudden & extremely sad, especially considering what he was about to do even after having no one left.
Succession and Barry both ending on the same day is really going to ruin me. S-tier shows and I’m not ready for them to be over so close to each other.
the directing and camera work in both shows are amazing, I'll miss the feeling of both shows as I don't see similar way of storytelling often in other shows.
As much as I love Barry (I'd say I actually enjoy it a bit more overall) Succession is truly on another level. I can see it being put in the same level as The Sopranos and The Wire in the future.
When Barry sees the vision of Sally rehearsing a script, I love how the audio we hear of her isn't actually of the scene that vision is of. She was rehearsing a script about a sick lady buying medicine. And she got VERY upset when Barry interrupted her/broke her focus. But in Barry's vision, we hear Sally's audio from her other performances. Another great audio bit: loved that they brought back the ominous/heavenly forghorn noises from S03E07 right before Barry was about to get beat the fuck up. His head is just scrambled
This is arguably one of of my top 5 shows ever. I love how they managed to make an entire show where every character is completely selfish in their actions and decisions. Just seems so cool how this show worked out
It's crazy that we're getting the last seasons of both Succession and Barry at the same time as both of them are some of my favourites and greatest shows I've seen in a while. They will be missed dearly, but I highly respect showrunners who know when's the right moment to end things.
I can't believe I only just realised this but Lon is a damn great reporter. He cut through all of Gene's BS and embellishments and gave the accurate rundown of the exact sequence of events
I’m never usually drawn to dark shows like this but I have watched every week of this since it came out. Something about Bill Hader tapping into a side of himself that I never envisioned him having. Just amazing epically good acting. Sally’s mother ordering chili cheese tots as Sally is having a panic attack is friggin priceless. And Noho just brings it every scene man. The sound editing and visuals are superb. In episode 2 the wedding scene was intended to be Barry visualizing his life with Sally - getting married and growing older together and realizing he’s in a spot that puts that in jeopardy. He’s become so obsessive, as has Gene with his own game and as has Sally trying to understand how her life wound up this way. Eric called it right- this show is about nothing but personal ego. Interesting choice in actor for Bong- Mao from The Expanse.
YES, folks should know this now. It's been said for decades, and more now with the dependence of the internet. It doesn't matter what's real or true, it only matters what people believe or think. Doubt is in everything. I love what Sally's agent said, she will make more money as an "outcast" than she would make as a "mainstream" personality. It's true, most public figures gain more interest when they have viral moments (depending) and are blackballed. Barry's visions are when he gets hope every time he feels reconciled, ie he saw a future with Sally after he talked to he. He started alone.
My Uncle was a Deputy AG for the state of California and he once oversaw a major case involving illegal sand-smuggling via a British construction conglomerate that resulted in billions of dollars of fines. Sand is a HUGE industry necessary in construction (concrete), but also restoration of beaches (a lot of west coast beaches are receding because of the damning of upstream rivers for water and hydroelectric power). Sand is one of those crazy basic things that will only become more valuable as time moves forward.
Curious you guys didnt pick up on Sally going back to cover herself and make sure barry wouldn't rat on her killing a guy. She was so paranoid ofc she need to go back to check
@@Blublublu23 nah barrys not better than succession, but I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion even if it's wrong 😭, Barrys plot is pretty unrealistic at times
@@jimmylee9120 I like Succession more but seriously, unrealistic? That's the point of the show lol it's surrealist satire and mainly a comedy. I mean you're criticizing a show that has a karate prodigy demonic child stab the main character multiple times, and him surviving said stabbing being totally fine by next episode. That leads me to believe that they aren't exactly trying to make a realistic show lol
@@jimmylee9120 so, basically you don't like a surrealist tragicomedy because it's surreal?? I mean, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, even though it makes zero sense (like how Succession is better than Barry) 😭
this show is like game of thrones in the sense that you will be damn near crying one scene and the next you are dying of laughter, I'm officially a bill hader fan
This show is f*cking wild! I have no idea how this is going to go, Barry went from a protagonist to a total nut job and honestly how the hell is this thing gonna end?? It has to end with him dying right? I can’t imagine he gets away and I can’t imagine he just stays in jail so..... aarrghh!!! It’s wild though
My interpretation is that the moment Little Barry connects with Fuches, is the moment his possible future with Sally becomes impossible. The wedding of their daughter will never happen. 🤷🏻♂️
Cristobal telling Hank to be honest and that he loves him just for Fuches to telling him (one minute later) that if you're honest you get fucked and love will be your ruin... not giving signs of happy ending there either.
none of the characters are good people at all, so self absorbed ( the ones Barry yearns to make love him) The criminals actually care for Barry in the way he wants ... except romantically
Sally has terrorized her parents so much that her mother became numb to her tantrums and her father walks on eggshells around her. Sally is walking breathing misery and chaos.
hm i see it as sally’s mom inability to emphasize w her daughter, she’s still in contact w her daughters abuser and his mom, sally is simply a product of her environment
don’t you conclude that it’s the other way around? She grew up with a completely emotionally unavailable mother who didn’t give one shit about her so she tried to look for attention and acknowledgment everywhere, ANYWHERE else as overcompensating, a known coping mechanism; her father it’s not as awful but doesn’t stop the mother (and probably never did) from emotionally terrorizing their daughter and just dances around the problems, more than “walking on eggshells” he seems to just do damage control as he knows what his wife does is not okay for a mother but doesn’t dare to or otherwise care enough to actually stop it. For gods sake, the mother is happily in touch with her daughter’s abuser who beat her everyday for years and almost killed her and is telling said daughter that she’s gonna go rat on the abuser’s family which would potentially put her own daughter in serious risk. She’s more worried and upset about Sally using her abuser’s name in her show instead of the actual abuse her daughter went through and it’s now opening about. The only moment when she actually gives something resembling a fricking reaction to Sally about anything she says or is going through, is anger and disgust after finding out she’s calling out the man who beat her. I mean that’s completely sick. No matter how much numb you get from your kid “terrorizing” you (which means what by the way? cause she was raised in that home and couldn’t have had much time to “terrorize” her mother as she moved out at 18), once they tell you that they just found out their partner is a serial killer (murdered someone on their presence too) and start having a full on panick attack, it SHOULD make your parent instincts go off as it’s not whining and bitching, is actual justified traumatic moments that you need to support them on. She told Sally to stop screaming before she even began screaming (she was literally quietly and almost bursting into tears telling her mom to please help her), completely disregarded her while she said she couldn’t breathe and was having a crisis, blamed her for her boyfriend turning out to be a serial killer and at the same time for being abused (“you really pick them good, don’t you”), actively put her daughter in serious danger, sided with her abuser, etc; and all that you can gather from the whole picture is that she “so poorly became numb to her foolish little tantrums (literally what part of my partner is a serial killer and I’m going insane is a tantrum be fr)” after much terrorizing from her evil malicious sick daughter who she doesn’t see since she’s 18 as she left as a teenager to be with someone who eventually abused her but the mother continued to happily engage in contact with because of course it’s her bitch of a daughter’s fault, I mean she really picks them bad, right??!!! Worst thing is that this warped interpretation probably came from a place of hate for the character which I DO NOT BLAME YOU FOR as she is very insufferable and you’re totally in your right (and honestly almost everyone thinks the same anyway) to dislike her but it’s important to keep story literacy strong even if we dislike characters as not doing so Can just make you change the story in a way that just feeds your hatred for the character and doesn’t allow you to analyze and appreciate how well written they can be (and are! Specially in this amazing show!) I’m sorry if it’s too long but honestly it’s one of the most wild takes I’ve seen of this episode or of a character moment in general ever and I felt like ranting about it. Take it as a grain of salt. Have a nice day!

Worst thing is that this warped interpretation probably came from a place of hate for the character which I DO NOT BLAME YOU FOR as she is very insufferable and you’re totally in your right (and honestly almost everyone thinks the same anyway) to dislike her but it’s important to keep story literacy strong even if we dislike characters as not doing so Can just make you change the story in a way that just feeds your hatred for the character and doesn’t allow you to analyze and appreciate how well written they can be (and are! Specially in this amazing show!) I’m sorry if it’s too long but honestly it’s one of the most wild takes I’ve seen of this episode or of a character moment in general ever and I felt like ranting about it. Take it as a grain of salt. Have a nice day!
I literally hate Sally's character at this point
but that just shows how good of an actor she is
Sally is a better person than barry in the show.
Doesn't mean we hate Barry more because he's a more horrible person, Barry TRIED to change, Sally just tried to dig herself in a more deep hole.
If you liked RRR, then review Bahubali1, Bahubali2, KGF1 and KGF2, Magadheera, 3 idiots etc
OMGGGGGGG
I still do think Better Call Saul is the best show I have ever seen, but Barry is cementing itself in my top 5 so easily. God this show is incredible
