Barry season 4 is Hader's pièce de résistance. There's simply nothing like it.
A richer and deeper character study than “Barry” has previously been. ... “Barry,” then, is as juicily tense as it’s ever been. And it sets a new high for itself. ... The question the first six episodes of this fantastic season of television ask is put plainly, but might take the rest of the show to answer.

Probably my favorite show this year. The first 2 seasons are just comedy gold,and starting season 3 it really started to feel more like a drama, which I really liked. I would definitely recommebd this to anyone.

This is a show that has never been afraid to make you laugh and then, in the next moment, make you feel deeply uncomfortable. Season 4 is happy to continue this tradition and then some.
Barreling forward without much apparent thought to its own longevity, “Barry” returns without missing a beat, fearlessly racing through story with a mix of darkly comic violence and drop-dead-funny visual gags. Delving deeper into Hollywood’s quirks and its title character’s double life, the crackling third season continues to operate like a high-wire act without a net.
It's alternately funny and horrifying, and manages to make jokes about its criminal elements without being too exploitative or blasé. ... Much of the success of the show rests on Hader, though, and he is fantastic. ... The ensemble is superb as well.
Barry is a bit betwixt and between as a viewing experience: too violent for people who don’t like violence, not energetic or dramatic enough for people who do. (And for people looking for a comedy: Well, it’s as sporadically amusing as any prestige comedy these days.) Over the course of the season, Barry amounts to something, locating a hit man’s shared humanity not in his competence, his guilt, or his remorse, but in his delusional belief that he’s a decent person.
Brilliantly written and acted. Bill Hader is a gem in every sense! The characters are wonderfully flesh and bones, complex, and multidimensional. The last season gets darker but it had no where else to go. I highly recommend.

Barry has proven to be more than just a comedy and knows how to balance it. With only 3 episodes left I can only imagine what is left in store and how this story will be wrapped up
Report
Season 1 was inventive and tongue in cheek. Season 2 veered into cartoon/Tarantino. Season 3 is a collection of clichés and dumb plot lines.
