Barry, Season 1

A cold-blooded hitman has a career epiphany when he's thrust into the intoxicating world of LA theatre in this dark comedy series starring Bill Hader ('Saturday Night Live'). In Season 1, Barry's handler (Stephen Root) hires him out to the deeply violent Chechen mob in Los Angeles. Barry's target: an aspiring actor whom Barry follows into an acting class taught by beloved teacher/guru Gene Cousineau (Henry Winkler). Instantly drawn to the craft and its students, particularly Sally (Sarah Goldberg), Barry wants to start a new life in this community of eager hopefuls. There's only one problem: his criminal past won't let him walk away.
