Barry was unquestionably wrong for killing Chris. He might have prevailed upon his former military comrade to keep things quiet. Indeed, after Chris saw that Barry was serious about killing him, Barry could have backed off and could have trusted that Chris had been chastened into abandoning his stated intention to go…

The reviews here have indeed been very good. And generally so have the comments.

There is, however, a small but insistent group of commenters who are, shall we say, not so big on subtlety; and the nuances of the show pass these people by. These people do not understand the distinction between Barry, who feels revulsion…

I am very pleased to read about the renewal of this wonderfully sophisticated show that challenges simplistic notions of good and evil.
