I feel like every review of the Barry series finale that's like 'it was just meh...' is intentionally missing the point cause if they actually had to confront 'hey we as a country venerate service members to an insane degree when, just like normal people cause that's what they are, some of them are bad people. we will jump through hoops to absolve any wrongs these people commit. the police do get it massively wrong sometimes. justice is not always dished out. and we will make a butchered spectacle out of a tragedy for ticket sales.' they wouldn't get many clicks.....

#the way law enforcement overall were portrayed through the series alone I have not seen really talked abt anywhere #but GODDDDD like Janice was ~one of their own~ and they're all still so incompetent and stupid they can't even get her case right #like this show is screaming at you that this dude is PEAK delusional at the end #that's not what god wants for me #Sally tells him. to his face. if he wants to be absolved. he must take responsibility for what he's done.#but he doesn't. and he's absolved anyway. cause they twist his story to fit the #brave marine doing the best he can narrative #when really he killed his friend who was *also* a marine. he killed a lot of ppl. and never took responsibility.#and let's not even touch on how Noho Hank and Christobal are ENTIRELY written out of and forgotten #in the new narrative the movie makes. like those pesky queers further ruin this sterling service member triumphs over evil tale #I'm *obsessed* at this point idk. I've had all night to ponder cause I was up sick all night 😞#hbo barry #hbo barry spoilers
