the only joke I liked in this episode was hank saying "why do I keep opening these boxes?"

yeah didn't love this ep, felt a little too all over the place. i appreciate them getting away from the nonstop bleak by bringing back some of the humor that used to be a more significant ingredient, but tonally this one just felt all over the map

Oh, right. Yeah the jokes were mostly Hank-based as usual and felt a little rote, but I'm looking forward to the finale. Lol @ Daniel Day Lewis + Mark Wahlberg though.
I do love seeing Stephen Root in his gang boss incarnation, and the phone call bit between him & Hank.

barry finale beat succession at its own game.

I found this very unsatisfying but I can’t really say why.

I found it unsatisfying yet also much of it was inevitable and was very “Barry.”

Appreciated this take, which made me appreciate how the redemption of Barry could only be fake redemption. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/28/arts/television/barry-finale.html

I wasn't feeling this season much apart from a few Hank scenes. The writers were certainly trying some new ideas but most of it left me cold
