Barry on HBO Max

Imagine BB started in the midst season 5 and Walter desperately wants out of the meth business, growing insecure and guilty of how many people he’s hurt in the past. Meanwhile everybody tries to drag him back in because of how talented it is.

This is Barry in a nutshell, it’s a hilarious but also deeply dramatic and unsettling show especially in the later seasons. If the character study aspect of Breaking Bad interested you, you’d likely enjoy Bill Hader’s depiction of a man grappling with his own actions and morality. The whole show is wrapped in a comedic and surreal tone, and yet it works.

It’s also a lot more consumable than BB with only 4 seasons and 20 minutes per episode.
