Movie #1928 ........................."Barry" Seasons 1 and 2 (Amazon Prime)

Movie #1929 "Barry" Seasons 2 and 2 (Amazon Prime)  It took quite a span of time to see this entire two seasons but we finally completed it.  We started watching it on FX and then didn't stick with it then, so when we came across it again, and with the pandemic had the time, we finished it.  I liked the  humor, and I am all over the theatre stuff that Barry gets into --- but I don't like the violence at all.  I know it is the whole other part of his life and the reason for his inner suffering through both the seasons, but there are some scenes I just have to look away ---- they are done with so much dark humor --- blood squirting out of the top of a guy's head  -- it's meant to be bizarre, and because we don't like the guy, it probably is being played for humor, but it's pretty gruesome for me to laugh at it.  However, Hader is doing an excellent job of getting the torment across of this guy who has been suffering with PTSD for a long time.  He  has found a job he is finally good at but now wants  to get out  of it --- and the audience can't help but root for him to do that.  To be continued in Season 3...... I give this 3.8 out of 5.  It is not for the faint of heart .
