Barry Season 3 Episode 2 Review
Barry Season 3 Episode 2 saw Barry’s desperation for forgiveness and love growing. This desperation led him to do things he shouldn’t have. Although he loves the people around him and expects the same amount of love from them. He certainly can’t force his way out for the same and that’s what went down.
In the process of asking for the same love from Sally or Cousineau, his desperation led him to shout at them and force them to do things he wanted. In one way or another, he was hurting them and his relationship with them. What he doesn’t realize is the fact that this kind of love may soon turn on him the moment Cousineau gets a chance.
Coming to Sally now, Barry’s reaction to her rejecting Cousineau for the job certainly had a huge impact on her. We can clearly see how her role in a show about an abusive relationship is now becoming a reflection of what is happening in her real-life now.
At least her co-workers are taking note of Barry being abusive towards Sally. Still, she continues to be happy for him as he manages to get a job in a popular show. She even went on to apologize for what went down even though it should have been Barry who should have apologized.
