8. That Brutal Cliffhanger Ending - Barry (Know Your Truth)

In the season finale of Bill Hader's fantastic black comedy series, it seems like things are coming together nicely for Barry (Hader). All suspicion has been directed away from his murderous activities, he's acting once again, and he's even in a relationship with classmate Sally (Sarah Goldberg).

It all goes to pot, though, when acting teacher Gene (Henry Winkler) invites Barry, Sally and Gene's lover Detective Moss (Paula Newsome) to his country home.

Here, Moss inadvertently discovers Barry's true profession and subsequently holds him at gunpoint in the dead of night. After Barry begs her to reconsider and she refuses, he grabs a concealed gun and a number of shots ring out off-screen, though the audience is never shown what happened to Moss.

Barry takes a shower and returns to bed with Sally as the season ends, leaving the audience on an agonising cliffhanger, wondering whether Moss survived and what the hell's going to happen in the morning.
