Critics Consensus

Clever and tidy, Barry's finale lacks a certain "Wow" factor but serves as a fitting coda to a series that always defied audience expectations.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Barry managed to remain lithe and thrilling, thoughtful and action-packed, funny and silly and moving, right to the end.

Rated: 5/5

What are we to make of an ending that feels so of a piece with what came before, while also embodying all of its worst qualities?

The Atlantic

By the end, the show was out of surprises. There were no more “WHAT?!” moments, no more inventive narrative jolts, few examples of that singular comedic register.

The ending is bittersweet, but one that makes sense ... That’s difficult to pull off in a series finale and still have your thematic elements land. But Hader and Berg never wobbled, ending Barry with conviction.

Rated: 10/10

There’s nothing like it on TV, nor will there ever be again. Well, unless Hader spearheads another brilliant, explosive dark comedy. I hope he does.
