About Barry
Barry is a dark comedy about a depressed, low-rent hitman from the Midwest. Lonely and dissatisfied in his life, he reluctantly travels to Los Angeles to execute a hit on an aspiring actor. Barry follows his "mark" into an acting class and ends up finding an accepting community in a group of eager hopefuls within the LA theater scene. He wants to start a new life as an actor, but his criminal past won't let him walk away - can he find a way to balance both worlds?
How to get through Barry faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 40 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 13.3 hours; at 1.5× it's 11.1 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
