Oh. Wow.

What an absolute ride. Quite easily the best show of the past five years and one I can't find a way to accurately recommend to people.

I mean, it's up there but there's way too much good competition to call it the best when it had some notable wobbling in quality in the latter half.

The only other show since 2018 I feel the same way about is Severance.

Like there are a bunch of other good shows for sure, we have definitely been in a pretty solid era of TV, but I can't think of anything else is put in the toppest of tiers.

In just this year

Winning Time
Succession
The Bear

But I think Barry just hits people differently. Some people like the full arc of it all and some people don't like the turns it took mid-series.

Season 4 got a little messy but in general yeah, 10/10 show and just the way it experimented with different genres and storytelling methods was just incredible.

I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back.

The Bear is good, I tried to get into Succession and failed several times the show is just not for me, and I haven't heard of Winning Time but after looking it up it's a basketball show and I'm not a basketball guy.

But yeah I never had a problem with the turns Barry took because I fully embraced the growing absurdity of it all.

ronnie/lily is an all-time classic

One of the best shows of the last ten years. Still not as good as Succession but an amazing time for prestige TV.
