The trouble with pozzed shows is they don't appeal to anyone. Barry was supposed to be a white guy show wasn't it? So why then did we have all these big acting moments and 'important' storyline of the blonde girlfriend and others. It was almost there as some kind of mandatory quota, completely ruining the flow. Overall the series was bad. It was not written by good writers. There was no overall theme or meaning. It was all Hollywood. There was no point!
I stuck with it hoping it would improve but no.

You're moronic and have terrible taste, like all ESLs
Why do you think it was good?
>they don't appeal to anyone
I liked Barry, and I'm better than any of you.
I liked it and thought it was funny.

Yes been happening for a while.
I dropped this show after she freaked out on him for buying her a printer. I have two cheap printers in my apartment because I literally forgot I had one and bought the exact same model twice.
discussion on Cinemaphile is fascinating as usual
Also aren't most inkjet printers like 50 bucks where each individual ink is also 50 bucks? Literally makes more sense to buy a new printer every time you need to change ink.
I felt in a similar position to you and not even a /misc/tard. The stuff about his gf felt boring and out of place. It felt weird and out of place to make Hank gay. Barry's plot line begins to just feel boring, by the third season the original shock that made the concept charming had long since faded, and they came up with no effect to counteract this, instead relying on what seemed trendy (I would assume). Basically, first 2 seasons were good, last 2 seasons sucked donkey balls.
Yes. What the writers needed to do was give us a reason for Barry living in the two worlds of acting and assassinating. They needed to tie those world together, to give the conceit a reason other than, its kind of funny or something.
It was as if Bill Hader said, I want to do a Breaking Bad of my own, but didn't have the skills or writers to pull off as good a job.
They did the same fricking thing to Last Man On Earth. A really cool concept that turned into a pile of steaming cuckery and girlbossery. That show had so many wasted opportunities, jokes and scenarios.
Agree
It’s supposed to be a metaphor for actors like him being typecast as funny homosexuals and how he is trying to break out of that? Idk frick this filth. It reeks of “made by out of touch Hollywood sociopaths” I watched the first episode and was laughing at how the adorable blonde woman was instantly head over heels for this dude
she isn't really head over heels for him she just likes attention that he gives her and basically sees him as a doormat she can use
The feeling is, ok its a white guy show but the writers are going to patronisingly slip in the medicine of a strong woman storyline and a gay and a black, as if we white guys need to learn tolerance and the writers are going to teach it to us. Just a sickening dosage.
i don't think there was a strong woman or black guy storyline in barry. there was a gay, but he turned out to be a cowardly butthole
His blonde GF was who I meant by that.
Another thing was the weird histrionics going on as if their real life was acting class, the overreactions were jarring, it was like when my family gets together.
his blonde GF isn't a "strong woman" storyline. she's intentionally written as toxic, vapid, and emotionally manipulative. you're not supposed to be rooting for her.
Watch Mr. Inbetween
i didnt realize anons were filtered by barry
>forced girlfriend storyline is "pozzed"
Anon have you watched TV at any time in the last 20 years?
Not really, probably for that reason. When a woman is kicking ass, or characters are deferring to the black boss, I turn it off and watch something better like true crime or sports
Seek therapy
It was a show about a guy quitting being a hitman to be an actor, not just about being a white guy. You need the girlfriend to give him some type of normal life to hope for. The appeal is the comedy/drama mix. They eventually got too into their asses. It should have just ended with him going to jail in season 3.
eh the ending of season 4 was pretty funny
>It was a show about a guy quitting being a hitman to be an actor
I thought it was a show about a gay? What was I thinking of then
It was mostly for women and I’m not even really saying that as an insult, it’s a Bill Hader HBO show, perfect for girls.
What season was the episode where Barry has to kill a dude, and both him and his daughter are Jujitsu masters who kick his ass the whole episode? I want to say Season 2.
A friend of mine sat me down cold, having never heard of the show and watched that. Peaked there as far as i'm concerned.
2nd season yeah
oh yeah. I stopped watching after that episode.
That was the worst episode. Was directed by him. In the after episode interview he talks about how the girl was a daughter of a friend(rich merchant) that he decided (was forced on paine of blacklisting and Kanye treatment) to use
This. Show jumped the shark here and undid everything it had accomplished up until this point. I knew as soon as I saw it the girl had to be a friend of ~~*someone*~~.
>Barry was supposed to be a white guy show wasn't it? So why then did we have all these big acting moments and 'important' storyline of the blonde girlfriend and others.
What exactly are you reacting to dude?
If Hollywood made a movie that was supposed to appeal to a black audience and when you watched it the black dudes were constantly being interrupted to get a lecture from white women, wouldn't you find that strange.
White guys just aren't supposed to exist as a demographic anymore. Any media that's supposed to appeal to white males must be filled with people from other demographics who are there to remind the audience that their opinion matters and theirs doesn't.
you're not supposed to agree with the white women in barry she's basically a villain lmao
Why is there even a focus on her though, she's not even hot
BLACK something WHITE something WOMEN something DEMOGRAPHIC something MEDIA something AUDIENCE
get a fricking life
Aren't you bored of hearing the same sermons from Hollywood in everything you watch? Its like going to church and a really lame church at that.
what sermon? you're not supposed to agree with Sally. She's blatantly a terrible person.
>He says while wanting Hollywood media to produce content that lines up perfectly with his beliefs instead
>watching garbage
The other thing with the woke writing is that a while ago there was subversive writing which challenged the status quo , society, government etc. That was a good time. Now what (tv women) writers are challenging is supposed white male dominance of everything. This is why you get the black guy with white girl, they love sticking it to us, its subversive, cool and edgy to them. To us its repellant.
So I think the woke writing started as good intentions to show tolerance, now its just showing its true colours, sticking it to white guys, for lulz. I saw this in a n eipsode of Chucky I forced myself to watch.
>I was okay when it challenged things that meant nothing to me but now that it involves challenging male dominated norms it triggers me enormously and is actually bad because I am so insecure person I can’t actually question the status quo that directly actually involves me
It snot triggering though, its intentionally offensive. Its trying to offend me, and it works and I don't watch it, victory for them and all minorities I guess.
There was a time when movies were the vanguard of challenging norms and culture, and it was great to see. I did and do care about that. Imagine trying to make a movie challenging the norms now? You'd be cancelled before you were cancelled
>I’m not triggered, I’m offended!!!
LMAOOOOOOOOOO
Are you a woman writer? Because you sound like one, not being able to actually argue the points
Actually low IQ Black folk unable to entertain ideas other than their own. absolutely disgusting
But to the contrary all we do is entertaining the ideas of others and most of them are bad ideas
Defund the police anyone?
But as I said of grown tired of that
Exactly.
Female penises and fentanyl vending machines aren’t good ideas sport
Yep
It’s because white women are the hall monitors of global homosexual
I’ve grown tired of it all honestly
sally was an awesome character and her actor was amazing at depicting this deeply twisted, rattled, victim-becomes-abuser kind of character. bill hader LITERALLY got yoko ono'd, became an alcoholic, got on SSRI's, and lost his mind between season 2 and season 3 and on. he even admits this implicitly in podcasts and interviews. the show took a massive dive in quality after it went from "disturbed ex-military hitter who wants love, companions, and meaning" into "LE EVIL moron". yes i'm debasing it to that strawman level. it was literally that low of a bar by the end. frick you. this show was gas and then it became shit. i stand by that 100%. had nothing to do with race or female characters or whatever else. bill hader just lost the fricking plot and his life is falling apart and it showed in his work. it will forever be a sorry testament to staying true to the art and the consequences of not doing so - just like the last 3 episodes of Mr. Inbetween were contrived dogshit after 3 fricking seasons of magical, heavy, soul-touching depictions of an exaggerated reality a fictional hitman faces. it's actually depressing how similar barry and mr. inbetween are in regards to having such an unbelievably artistic, thoughtful beginning into a lazy, confusing, rushed ending.
>straight ex military white male: I JUS WANNA BE AN ACK-TAH!!!
lmfao you can tell the show was written by a homosexual or a woman just from the moronic premise. if you watched even a single second of this israelite trash thats on you
>they don't appeal to anyone
Weird how Barry was super successful then. Even on this board.
>durrrr youre not SUPPOSED to agree with her even though every episode is written with sally as the morally correct side of the argument
You people don't understand how writing is done.
youre not SUPPOSED to agree with her even though every episode is written with sally as the morally correct side of the argument
you must be moronic to think this is the case. she blatantly manipulates barry and uses him to further her acting career.
the only thing that makes her "moral" is that she's not a full blown assassin. but she's hardly a good person.
I'm talking about the moral opponent in terms of constructing a scene, you ignorant blowfish. A scene is constructed with two characters by opposing their sets of values, where one character is the moral right and the other the moral wrong. This is the basis of every drama. You disingenuous buffoon.
You're completely right btw and everyone arguing against you in here is a disingenuous homosexual leftoid zoomer. Watching old media is a completely different experience that zoomers can't understand.
The thing is, until wokeism I believed the shit on TV that women could be intelligent and funny etc. like the ones on TV. Then they took over TV and it just revealed to me that women are infantile morons, every last one of them.
It peaked with the kickboxing dude and his daughter episode.
idk i always skip women and Black person scenes
makes kino 10x better
i hold my finger on the right arrow button and just click click click until not on screen
>Lethal Weapon was a little confusing but at least it was FAST
oh no, sorry
if theres a mc Black person or a woman i just dont watch it at all
ill permit them to be in the movie (& still skip their scenes) if they are potrayed as rebels, criminals, mentally unstable or just as silent furniture in the background, never a main character, have some self respect man
>Barry was supposed to be a white guy show wasn't it?
Uh no.
Better Call Saul season 1 was kino as hell. Then the second it hit Netflix it just destroyed that unique atmosphere with the annoying lecturing fat girl and all the other shit
