    I thought the first couple seasons were just OK but since Hader took over as director it's been more about destabilizing stylistic flourishes + absurd tangents than just an antihero plot or whatever and that's been much more enjoyable for me

    Very funny to see it being accused of being marine/army apologia. Barry is presented as a deluded, self-regarding, spineless and intellectually stunted psychopath who frequently lies about himself and his military service, and in a recent episode literally toggles between Christian podcasts until he finds the one that excuses murder so he can feel OK about killing someone.

          Kinda an understatement. Almost every vet in the show is totally fucked in the head psychopath.

          spoiler

          except one dude who was in IT or motor pool or something and another who is a FBI agent willing to let a mass murder get away because they served together. so never mind hes totally fucked in the head too.
