Good show, had a planned 4 seasons and executed the plot smoothly. Berg and Hader should get more opportunities, keeping an eye on what they cook up next.

Here’s the thing tho, Cousineau’s massive ego would have avoided all of this if he didn’t get excited at Daniel Day-Lewis playing him in a movie.

Having a massive ego doesn’t mean he should blamed for all those crimes he didn’t commit.
He just got the bad luck of the draw with the only other person knowing the truth also has a massive ego.

I don’t disagree with that
My only point is they were all levels of horrific. If Cousineau is at his house, they avoid what happened.

I need to rewatch the series. Still love the finale, and overall S4 was great IMO. I think a couple things through people off. first there was something that always happens with these shows: viewers fall in love with a sociopathic antagonist, enjoy cheering as he gets away with various things, and then become frustrated with the final season as he reaps what he sowed. I shouldn't be surprised but I kinda am, given that Barry moreso than any other show really delved into consequences early. Each of the first three seasons had Barry fukking up and paying a cost so I thought people would be ready for the conclusion of that.
The second thing was the tone shift of the time jump. All of a sudden all of the brightness, absurdity, and energy of LA was largely gone and Barry was in a sand dune. That was definitely jarring at first, and kind of ended stories I wanted to see more of. How did they escape Sally's house without Jim seeing, for instance. Also would have loved more Sally In Hollywood shyt. But ultimately the shift was compelling. Especially the episode with the diner stuff. If I have a complaint it would be that two more episodes would have been good to have.

Watched the whole season over the last few days. I thought there would be a couple episodes left. The finale really snuck up on me 
Gonna miss this show. Gotta admit I was getting frustrated that Barry wouldn’t face any kind of consequences on some Dexter shyt. Even when he got popped I thought the gun that Gene had was just some toy shyt and he’d actually live. When I saw him laid out for real shyt had me like
I was in a bad mood after Hank died. I was about to quit the show. Luckily I don’t have to
The movie that ended up getting made had me rolling. From DDL to Tubi original status. Barry getting buried with full honors

Everybody except the black detective and fonz son were foul dispictable people. Lol at Berry thinking going to church on tv was going to make him a better person because he would have lived in his desert hellhole for the rest of his life if he never went back for fonz

I'm catching up on this, but on some real shyt. Episode 5 is some of the darkest most depressing stuff I've seen.
fukked up shyt with their kid brehs...

I'll say they took a big risk with the direction of this show coming into this season. Barry going to prison? Really it could have went south from there. I don't know if any of the episodes in S4 as standalones are top 5 in the series, but overall the season was still very well done all things considered.
The tone shift going extremely dark after the prison escape was harsh. It reminded me of Atlanta S3's darker episodes where humor was non-existent.
Barry only killed 1 person this season and it was self defense. The irony in that.
