Alison Herman When “Barry” began, it was the punchline to a simple setup: a hitman walks into an acting class, then kills in every sense of the term. Co-creator and star Bill Hader was best known for his sketch comedy work on “Saturday Night Live,” while his partner Alec Berg had done stints on “Silicon Valley” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” At least to start, “Barry” largely built on those backgrounds, mining humor from its characters’ self-delusion. Hader’s title character wants to express himself, but also hide his true nature; his classmates and teacher all firmly believe they’re undiscovered stars. Even violent criminals like chipper Chechen NoHo Hank (Anthony Carrigan) were largely comic creations.
But over three seasons, “Barry” has followed the its premise to increasingly darker depths. As Barry Berkman’s body count continues to climb, his goal of redemption grows ever more unattainable. It’s also undesirable — for an audience that’s watched him kill a fellow veteran, a dogged detective and countless more, and for characters who’ve come to see Barry for who he really is. The show’s style has evolved along with its tone, skewing toward the surreal as events spiraled further out of control.

BreAnna Bell There were big shoes to fill when Alice Birch decided to recreate “Dead Ringers” as a limited series for Amazon Prime Video. But she didn’t set out to tell the same story as David Cronenberg’s 1988 thriller. Instead, she opted to use the close and often times dark relationship between her twin protagonists Beverly and Elliot (both played by Rachel Weisz) as a foundation to take a deeper look at the American healthcare system and the ways it potentially fails mothers. It’s an incredibly complex system to investigate. But as Birch, a native Brit, explores topics in “Dead Ringers” like the American maternal mortality rate, the history of obstetrics studies and postpartum depression through the lens of the country’s fictitious most-prized and talented OB-GYNs, a central theme of inequality becomes clear.
Jennifer Maas TV Business Writer The new regime at Peacock has spent the past nine months preparing to take its baby bird to new heights. The number of big moves made by the NBCUniversal-owned streamer — from amping up its original content slate to livestream deals with Hallmark, Reelz and Big 10 college football to bringing NBC shows back into the fold for next-day viewing and eliminating its free tier for new users — is setting the stage for what executives hope will be a growth spurt in 2023.
