When you're as talented of a hitman as Barry Berkman from HBO's dark comedy-drama series "Barry," (https://www.looper.com/891204/the-untold-truth-of-barry/) leaving a life of crime behind doesn't come easy. From the pilot episode on, viewers root for Barry to escape his criminal past as he chases a new purpose found within the sanctuary of a Los Angeles acting community. While he'd never miss the mark while pursuing his target, missteps and pitfalls leave him missing the mark on his journey to redemption.
Still, throughout Seasons 1 and 2, there's plenty of hope that there's some good left in Barry. Between his natural charm and bare-minimum good deeds, viewers are able to justify many of his worst behavior. By Season 3, the bad starts to outweigh the good as Barry's desperation for normalcy completely backfires, leaving him totally unhinged. It's time we pulled the trigger and performed an autopsy on the complexity of this character by looking back on Barry's seven best and seven worst moments.
