FULL STORY
======================================================================

Fandom is often a volatile thing, but theres a clear consensus on socials 
right now that the latest episode of Barry , the black comedy drama on HBO 
Max , will never see fans recover. 

Most of the ire, praise, and requests for therapy are directed at lead and 
showrunner Bill Hader, who plays the eponymous Barry, depressed hitman and 
aspiring actor  with fans posting of their shock and disbelief after the 
fourth episode of Barry season 4 aired. bill hader expect an invoice from my

Since Barry s first season launched back in 2018, its always been a curious 
show  treading the line between a hitmans expected violence and a cheeky 
critique of Hollywoods ruthless meat grinder for talent, aided by the talents 
of Bill Hader, of Saturday Night Live fame. But the latest episode takes this 
to new heights, for both cameo appearances and some particularly 
heartbreaking dis- appearances. 

 Warning: spoilers for Barry season 4 follow. Murder cinematic universe 

The past few episodes of Barry have been an emotional rollercoaster, as an 
imprisoned Barry navigates past associates, current friends, and FBI agents 
in a bid to move into a new chapter in his life. 

His willingness to deal with the FBI for witness protection causes NoHo Hank 
and Cristobal to put a hit on him. But the pair of romantically-involved 
assassins then find themselves torn apart by the formers desire for a crime 
empire and the others desire for legitimacy. Hank engineers a way to get rid 
of several rival gangsters at once, tricking them with plans of a sand import 
business before collectively taking them out. Cristobal is very nearly killed 
in quicksand, but our brief relief at his survival is cut short by the 
Chechens, who take him out for good. 

Henry Winklers Gene, in a moment of panic, shoots his own son while mistaking 
him for Barry. The episode then closes with Barry fleeing with Sally, and a 
scene several years later that seemingly shows them settled with a child. 

Between the end of a fledgling hitman romance, the suddenly heightened 
brutality, and the glimpse of a distant future (eight years, exactly) beyond 
the chaos of the past episode, this is a piece of television that completely 
up-ended expectations of what Barry as a show could or would do. Somehow in 
the mix are director Guillermo del Toro, who plays an assassin handler; Fred 
Armisen, a hitman-podcaster; and even Oscar-winning CODA director Sian Heder, 
playing herself, with maximum star power underlining the horrors at play. 

Al Griffin, TechRadars Senior Home Entertainment Editor (and Barry fan), says 
its shocking mainly because it's an incredibly violent episode, even for a 
show with a regularly high body count. Also, two very sympathetic characters 
meet their doom: Gene's son, whom Gene accidentally shoots, thinking he is 
Barry, and Cristobal. It's left unclear whether Gene's son actually dies, but 
Cristobal's death following the massacre of their sand business partners was 
almost too much in a show already crammed with carnage. It's hard to imagine 
where the show can go from here. 

Thankfully, we wont need to imagine for long, with another episode planned 
for release on May 7. Pray well be prepared this time around.
