Barry Season 3 Episode 4 Review
Warning: This review contains spoilers for season 3, episode 4 of Barry.
With “all the sauces,” Barry has reached the midpoint of its latest eight-episode season. Tying in with the overarching theme of the season, the titular hitman-turned-actor is still seeking forgiveness (and the show continues to point out how unforgivable he is). In episode 4, Barry is finally taking a less psychotic approach to his futile bid for absolution – but he’s still just as unsuccessful. His life is slowly falling apart: he’s irreparably destroyed his relationship with both of his father figures (threatening them both with murder along the way), and this week, the consequences started rolling in.
Like last week’s “ben mendelsohn,” “all the sauces” is short on the breathtakingly minimalist action scenes that Barry fans have come to expect. But what the episode lacks in action, it makes up for in character development. It’s not as intense as the premiere episode, but “all the sauces” does deliver a bombshell plot twist that completely changes the dynamic of the series: Sally’s breakup with Barry. This on-and-off romance has been a key part of the show since the beginning, and now that Sally has seen glimpses of the real Barry throughout season 3, it seems to be over for good. Barry’s relationship with Sally was the last shred of stability in his life. When Sally confronts Barry about his outburst, he brushes it off as “a bad day.” Sally sees Barry making the same excuses for himself that she made for him when Katie brought it up, and tells him to move out of their apartment.
