Great interview with Hader on directing Barry, including a fair amount of technical stuff: http://collider.com/bill-hader-intervie ... /#season-2 |

Watching that fantastic opening scene in E2, and then reading about Hader's experiences directing the episodes this season and his classic cinema influences, I feel like this show could possibly allow us to watch Hader grow into a legitimately talented director. |

E3 was more of a plot/character development episode, and it was still great. They're doing a remarkable job of balancing the comedy with the darkness, almost like a way less hammy Dexter. This might be my new favorite show. |

It wasnt funny and it looked pretty normal. I read your review and thought it was going to be amazing. What i found was really far away from that. |

The pilot was nothing to write home about visually, but E2 has an opening scene with a terrific sight gag, and the article I linked earlier does shed some light on some of Hader's other visual choices for E2. Again, it's nothing amazing, but having followed Hader very closely I can definitely see him starting to learn and apply some more creative visual flair.

If you didn't respond to the pilot, then I doubt you'll change your mind...But I thought E2 was terrific and we often like the same stuff, so you may want to give it just one more shot before bailing for good. |

That's fair, Atlanta is incredible (and certainly more visually compelling). Maybe I'll try to coax you to watch again once the seasons wind down. |

Gave the pilot a try last night. Something felt unintentionally off with the pacing early on in the episode, but by the end of it I was hooked...somehow. I'm interested in this show. Absurd premise with some interesting twists early on. I dig it. |
