History Series / Barry

* ArtisticLicenseReligion: The Chechen gangsters have Christian tattoos, most notably the Virgin Mary one on Hank's chest. This would make sense if they were from most regions of Russia, but Chechnya is about 99% Muslim.

The show debuted in March 2018 with a format of eight episodes that run for roughly a half hour. Its fourth and final season aired in 2023.

** In season 3, Fuches elects to [[spoiler:pose as a private eye and approach the families of Barry's victims, pointing to him as their killer and noting how the police won't catch him, all in the hopes that it will create vigilantes who'll kill Barry. As its shown, making ordinary people into murderers is not exactly a straight process. The widow and son of the hotel man are clearly nervous wrecks who have no idea what they're doing, the mother ultimately shooting her son by accident. Chris's wife Sharon lures Barry to her house for dinner where she poison's him, which is a slow and unpleasant enough of a process that she runs away, a very sick Barry managing to walk out of her house and get medical help eventually. Ryan's father is severely depressed in his grief over his child, even when having Barry at his mercy he states that he just wants to see his son again, ultimately turning his gun on himself. Taylor's sister Traci and her biker gang are the exception, being dedicated criminals already possessing firearms. In contrast, Janice Moss's father Jim is a much more suspicious of Fuches's story and skilled enough of a manipulator that it's very easy for him to trick Fuches into police custody.]]
