Barry is the best comedy-drama series on television right now and arguably one of the best comedy series ever. While we regard HBO’s Barry as a comedy series, it is much more of a dramedy as it deals with so many heavy issues. The brilliant Bill Hader series sadly concluded its fourth and final season. So, if you also like Barry and miss the series here are some shows you could watch next.

Succession (Max)
Synopsis: Power, politics, money…it’s all in the family in this provocative, bitingly funny drama series about a highly dysfunctional dynasty.

After Logan changes his mind about stepping down, he endures the often-childish bickering of his heirs while others in their orbit position themselves for a post-Logan world that seems imminent, though not predestined. Jeremy Strong, Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook and Alan Ruck co-star as Logan’s children; also with Hiam Abbass, Nicholas Braun and Matthew Macfadyen.
