Back to Barry

[Insidious Von]

Loved the show, it has the potential to become a black comedy of legend. However the foreign press who votes on Golden Globes nominees should drink less.

Bill Hader is nominated for an acting award which he deserves. Henry Winkler is also nominated which confuses me. Sarah Goldberg as Barry's love interest, Glen Fleshler as Chechen mob boss Goran and Paula Newsome as Detective Janice Moss all made greater contributions to the show than Winkler yet they are ignored. Unless they do something substantial with his character, he's going to become annoying as the show progresses.

Glenn Fleshler has done excellent work in Boardwalk Empire, True detective and Billions. Don't understand why his talent is ignored?

IV - totally agree with you about this show - great, maybe the sleeper hit of last year. Great acting from all. I disagree about Winkler. His character kind of ties the show together and he is supposed to be annoying and pretentious. You almost wonder whether his character will be killed off (literally) at one point. Apparently Glenn Fleshler might be back too - possibly to haunt Barry’s dreams (maybe Newsome too). He and Noho Hank were my favourite characters.

I don't think Fleshler will be back, although it would be very funny.

He has a good gig as Orrin Bach, John Axelrod's lawyer in Billions. He also has a substantial role in Juaquin Phoenix upcoming Joker film. Looking forward to that, if anyone was born to play The Joker it's Phoenix.

Brilliant move by WB/DC.
