Barry is an exceptionally captivating TV series which brilliantly blends the elements of Comedy and Drama. The plot revolves around the titular character, a hitman who is tired of his dark life and who decides to step into the world of acting.

Bill Hader shines as the leading man and is joined by such a talented cast as Henry Winkler and Sarah Goldberg.

Pablo Larrain’s film that earned Kristen Stewart (deserved) a Best Actress nomination recently arrived on HBO Max and it’s perfect for anyone who enjoys a great historical drama (and anyone who’s a fan of The Crown, of course).
