Barry is an ex military now assassin who (in the middle of a kill job) finds his true calling in the form of stage acting. The joke behind the show is he can never get away from the dark life and go clean with acting. And hes an awful actor unless taken over by the demons of his past. Its wildly funny ?
This show is great -- def worth the watch, especially since the episodes are only a half hour. I plan on waiting for the 3rd season to finish before binging it, but the first two seasons are ready to go.
