Barry is carrying the extra weight of its darkness well in Season 2
-
"Here's the thing — dark is good," says Tim Goodman, who estimates that Barry went from 60% comedy in Season 1 to 35% comedy in Season 2. "I'm impressed by how it is working to deepen its dramatic intent," Goodman says of Season 2. "Maybe I just like that balance better — I think both FX's Fargo and something like HBO's Succession are fundamentally dramas that infuse themselves with comedy and Barry could be in very welcome company if it keeps going in the more serious vein."
