‘I miss breakfast rolls and the sense of humour but our life in the US has been as normal as anyone else’s with young kids’
Hank wants to use the family as bait for an alliance with Barry’s old mentor-turned-nemesis, Fuches . But when a firefight between their two gangs breaks out, Fuches leads Sally and John to safety. Desperate to track them down, Barry visits Gene’s agent, Tom, where Gene catches up with and kills Barry. He had nothing to lose: his reputation has been in tatters since he was blamed for murdering Janice.
The tone is midnight dark, and the message is clear: blood demands blood, and Barry will atone for his crimes – as he does when Gene shoots him. ] Then comes an extraordinary twist. After another time skip, we catch up with John as a teenager and Sally as a quiet, lonely drama coach. She has moved on from her old life, but John is curious about his father. One of his friends shows him a movie version of Barry’s life that frames Barry as the hero and Gene as the villain.
It’s a devastating commentary on the way art can spread lies as effectively as it can illuminate the truth. The sequence also asks the audience to reflect on their relationship with the show. We’ve cheered Barry, a psychopath who has left a trail of heartbreak and devastation in his wake. Following on from Tony Soprano and, in Breaking Bad, Walter White, he’s the latest in a parade of “bad men” on prestige TV.
