'Barry's' tense finale reignites the 'Is this really a comedy?' debate
CNN
Let the "Barry" debate begin again, as the show's dazzling, cliffhanging and violent third-season finale seemed poised to trigger the inevitable argument: Is star producer Bill Hader's show really a comedy?
For Emmy classification purposes, that ship has sailed, with "Barry" having earned awards in the past for Hader and Henry Winkler as the title character's acting coach, Gene Cousineau. But the twisty and fairly shocking finish -- which included a brutal fight and the shootout from hell -- should only stoke the questions about whether this HBO series basically defies simple classification. (Like CNN, HBO is a unit of Warner Bros. Discovery.)
