    I didn't hear a word about the show until my brother found it by way of Atlanta; Hiro Murai is one of the creators of Atlanta and directed at least a couple episodes of Barry.

    It's really one of the best HBO originals I've seen in quite a while, and has a really unique style. I hope it gets more recognition.

    This show is amazing. I can’t wait for season 2, whenever it’s supposed to come out. Noho hank is probably my favorite character.

        Noho Hank . Noho is short for North Hollywood in the Greater Los Angeles Area. What makes that funny is that North Hollywood is sort of an up and coming trendy neighborhood that also has a huge Russian Community so it fits Noho Hank's character nicely.

    This show passed me by entirely until this weekend when I binged the first season’s 8 episodes. It was way better than I expected considering that I had never heard of it. Has anyone else seen it?...

    Edit: oops, can someone please remove the m. from the link?

    Bill Hader definitely learned a lot in season 1. This show is really good because it is so fresh. It has a great concept, but at times in season one - you could tell Hader lacked the acting experience to land certain things. I think he did great for the most part, but at times he delivered things cheesey. The biggest one being where they were going to go after the convey at the air strip and the marine wanted to bum rush them and Hader goes on about I really think surgical is the best way here. The whole speech just wasn't delivered well. You could see what he was going for definitely, but he wasn't hitting it.

      Hmm, I didn't feel that particular misfire at the time. Though his character's general awkwardness may have made me give him a pass on that and possibly other scenes.

      I just saw him in The Skeleton Twins, and he seems to have no major issues with dramatic characters in general.. but since you brought that scene up at the landing strip, I may have to re-watch that to see if I know what you mean.

      The final episode had me excited about what might come next.

        Oh I am definitely excited. Hader did great. Winkler had me laughing a lot. He told that cop he had info on the case and got her to dinner...
