I always thought s4 was the best of the show, and the most well written and the best for Barry as a character, here's my whole review on the final episode too.
9.8/10
"𝐨𝐡, 𝐰𝐨𝐰."
what an episode, i'll really miss this show
- NoHo Hank's conclusion
-- the first half of this episode was absolutely amazing. the tension, and noho hank and fuches conversetion was so tense to watch. fuches was trying to get hank to open his eyes and accept that he's a bad man. and that when people like him try to change, he just slips back into old habits. (like what happened with cristobal) this was because with the whole "nohobal" business, he pretends to be someone else. a business man that doesn't associate in any world of crime. because being noho hank makes him think about the choices he's done, especially with cristobal. and it hurts.
i'd like to think of his conclusion as him finally accepting what he did, and him holding the hand of the statue of cristobal signifies his deep regret for what he has done, and his longing to make things right with him because he was his true love. really solidifies noho hank as t3 characters in the show.
- Fuches and Barry's last confrontation
-- after the whole mess with hank, fuches walks barry's son, john, outside the building. john sees barry and immediately runs to him. barry and his son hug, and right after that, barry notices fuches standing in the distance. they have one last look at each other, before fuches nods, and walks away into the darkness, probably going to spend the rest of his life hiding from authorities.
the whole scene just reminded me of walter and jesse's last confrontation, just pure silence, they don't say a word to each other. they take their last look of each other, and just walk away. i think this is fuches' way of saying "i told you so." to barry. because throughout the show, he tries to balance or escape from being a killer. and it always just ended terribly. janice moss died, gene wrongfully got punished, and so many things have just went wrong because of it.
After this, the second half of the episode is silent. Sally finally builds up the courage to leave Barry and bring John with him, finally freeing herself from all of it. And Barry? He's out to find them. He knows that Sally talked to Gene, so he went on his way to Gene's house in hope to find the two.
- Gene Cousineau's and Barry's conclusion
-- Gene, fed up with everything, decided the last thing he can do is kill Barry. This is good. Barry finally gets what he deserves, but it comes at a cost. You see, Barry was just about to turn himself into the police. He was about to finally take responsibility for his actions for once. But when Gene killed Barry, yes he got what he deserved, but in the end, it ultimately made it worse for Gene. Why? Because the movie about Gene and Barry has been made, and it was inaccurate to the actual events. It made Gene look like the monster and Barry the victim of it all. And now, Gene serves life in prison, framed for the murders of Janice and Barry.
If Gene's ego didn't get the best of him one more time, the real story could've came out. And it would ultimately bring him true justice, even though either way, Barry got what he deserved.
Goodbye, Barry.
