Did anyone here watch this? I started yesterday and I'm watching the finale later tonight. It has been great.

I'm surprised and impressed at how well they balanced the tone. The comedy, the drama, and the violence (action). You could completely remove one of those 3 aspects and it would still be a very good show.

I thought it was pretty good. The humor purposefully undercuts the horrible shit that Barry and co. are doing, and Henry Winkler is great. Plus, Hiro Murai directed two episodes(also done some directing on Atlanta and the now famous "This is America" music video).

Bill Hader said next season is going to be darker. Very interested to see what he means by that. The show definitely was pretty dark at times, especially towards the end.

I was surprised how good HW was, did not see that coming. Never have been a fan of his.

Oh no, I agree with Houston, Berry is a great show.

I have to reevaluate everything. I'm going to go get started on that now, see you guys in 2025.

I especially liked the voicemails Taylor was leaving.

Noho Hank was pretty hilarious.

Another good show about a hitman, or in this case, woman. The villain, if you will, is a very captivating character. One of the best I've seen on TV in awhile.

Okay both shows feature a hit person, there is that connection, but Berry is a very dark comedy, but definitely a comedy. I didn't see too many chuckles in that preview, did I miss something?

Is Houston one of those people who rates movies or shows either 1/10 or 10/10? Superlative superlative?

I’ve watched things thanks to Houston reviews and he was spot on.

I didn’t give this show a go. A few series finales this week so I might binge this idk yet
