I've seen critics call Barry a copycat of Dexter. I don't know what they were watching. I don't think they did. They must have just read a synopsis. I've seen all episodes of both series and the comparisons are minimal at best. Barry is an insane, bad coincidence laden, journey down a dark winding road. It had me thinking "oh no" so many times at its circumstances and the decisions made by most of the characters. It was a great, imaginative show not to be compared to anything else.
