So glad this show is back. And goodness former SNL cast members are simply crushing shows with dramatic roles

Comedians are almost always the best actors in my opinion. It takes more to be a good comedian than it does to be a good drama actor...so for comedians to flip it, its an easier transition to make than drama actors to get comedic timing down...it cannot be taught, its just an ability that some have and some don't. Ive always wondered if Daniel Day Luis could ever act in a comedy.

Comedians are the best comedy actors? I think that's what you meant. If not, I'd very strongly disagree that comedians are the best overall actors.

I think he would have been amazing in hot fuzz as a member the town council particularly Simon Skinner.

Their point is that comedians, in this case comedic actors, have often proven to be very good dramatic actors.
The opposite is not often true.

SASCHA BARON COHEN PLAYING THE SPY ELI COHEN

This season is still really interesting but I'm getting noho Hank fatigue. The whole bomb app felt too out there and comedic. Almost expected a laugh track.

I'm enjoying the ironic take on the narcissism and vapidity in Hollywood with sally and Jean.

I am hopeful that with Barry giving Jean all the money from the stupid bomb hit plot is the transition needed to pivot to the retribution from Barry's hits' loved ones.

Can't imagine how it will go yet. Maybe the kid whose dad Barry killed in the flashback will try to cap Barry and Barry will take him under his wing after a failed assassination attempt.

Just feels like season 4 should end this show as the writers have gone down a very specific path. Barry on trial and in prison killing people would be an interesting season 4.

Outstanding questions:
1. The flashback hit on the hotel room guy - did we get the backstory on this hit?
2. How did Fuchs convince his keepers to let him go?

I really liked that NoHo hank exchange with the app install. Not tired of him yet,

I do agree with you on that I am hopeful that Gene Cousineau has maybe not forgiven but learned to tolerate Barry? Along with Sally dumping him, I could get behind Barry moving ahead as an actor and part time assassin while we see how the plot line with Fuches wraps up or is incorporated. I don't agree that I can see Barry taking that kid under his wing, seems too much a stretch of a side character. I would prefer we see Katie (Elsie Fisher - kid on the Joplin show) witness Barry save Sally from those two bent on revenge, and that brings him and Sally back together?

I don't want to see Barry in prison on trial in season 4....

1) No backstory on the hit, other than the carnage/collateral damage, wife and kid left behind. That's their motivation, revenge. I may be oversimplifying, but I don't know if we;ll ever know why Barry killed the dad. I don't think it is important to the story.
2) The Chechens want Fuches back in America as the "patsy". They've gotten heat from LAPD and need to get them off their case for the murder of Cousineau's GF Janice. So he didn't convince them, he wanted to stay in his utopia. He is driven by revenge towards Barry, and that clouded his decision to be allowed to leave.

Yes. He confirmed that he served with Barry when he first met the two LAPD cops.

---

Yeah I caught that. I just wasn't sure if he was that guy with the face injury or just another guy he served with.

I find it weird that a guy he served with (and apparently helped save the life of) would be so motivated to take Barry down.

I'm assuming its the same guy. And I had the same thought re: his motivation. Could be more to the back story between the two that we haven't seen yet (or that I missed), or maybe he's just doing his job.

This ^^

And the fact that he was just thrown into the show.
