But as season three of the HBO series named for him begins, he is especially rattled.

But Hank cant help Barry because hes trying to embrace a new direction in his own life.

Its like that line inShawshank Redemption, Hank says dramatically, Get rich or die trying.

Which is absolutely not a line fromShawshank Redemption.

In the second episode, two romantic partners argue in their kitchen I dont understand why youre leaving me.

You have too many dogs.

while roughly 30 dogs can be seen through the window behind them, chasing an intruder in their backyard.

Ironies and subtext haunt many of the lines of dialogue.

What I did was terrible, and Im truly sorry, Barry says while acting in a scene.

Very few shows can jockey between genres and handle each with as much finesse asBarry.

Its an extremely funny comedy and its a suspenseful crime thriller that effectively keeps its audience guessing.
