"It’s more than a Hollywood satire, an antihero’s journey, or a morality play crossed with a comedy of errors. It’s 'Barry,' and no matter how dark things get, I’ll miss it when it’s gone." - Ben Travers, IndieWire pic.twitter.com/QLalG7Gfxx

• Season 4 of Barry, Bill Hader's anxiety inducing dark comedy, is being met with rave reviews so far. With reviews continuing to trickle in it holds a 94 on Metacritic and 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. Most critics note that they received seven of the shows eight episodes.
• The show is back this Sunday, airing two new episodes immediately after the new episode of Succession. Episode 04x01 is titled "yikes" and has a vague af description: "Are you mad at me?" The description for episode 04x02, "the bestest place on earth" has ominous one: "Here it comes."
• Though some reviews claim to be spoiler free, others do drop spoilers rather liberally so proceed with caution.
