TV show description:
From creators Bill Hader and Alex Berg, the Barry TV show is a half-hour sitcom. The dark comedy centers on Barry Berkman (Hader), a Midwestern hitman. When his handler, Fuches (Root), loans him to Goran Pazar (Fleshler), of the Chechen mob in Los Angeles, Barry feels drawn to acting.
Barry is in L.A., because Pazar’s wife is having an affair with an aspiring actor. When Barry follows his target to Gene Cousineau’s (Winkler) acting class, he is immediately drawn to the whole group, and to Sally (Goldberg) in particular.
Barry keenly desires to start over in this new community of creatives, but there seems to be no way to leave the mob. Can he find a way to lead both lives? Stay tuned.
