You didn't think he'd get away with it forever, did you? Barry's "starting now" pledge couldn't survive the duration of a single episode, and so it is that the final season of Bill Hader's critically acclaimed HBO Max comedy begins with our protagonist on the receiving end of a little rough justice.

With Monroe Fuches roaming the yard, none-too-friendly prison wardens paying him extra close attention, and Gene's reprimand ringing in his ears, Barry isn't taking too well to life behind bars. Still utterly convinced of his innate goodness despite all of the blood he's spilled, he's feeling sorry for himself. If only he could be afforded one more chance to show who he truly is.

Perhaps a little thinking time would do him some good. Then again, the apparitions are proving a touch distracting!

They may be shot of him, but Barry's baggage still weighs heavily on the shoulders of those he was once close to. Securing comeuppance for Janice's murder hasn't brought her back, and though Gene should theoretically be in a good place, he's now also wrestling a wickedly complex case of the loss of a friend.

Sally, too, is living in a permanent state of paranoia as she comes to terms with the aftermath of her deadly brush with the motocross gang, while Hank and Cristobal struggle to create the life they'd envisaged together. Read on as we explain how to watch Barry season 4 online where you are.

How to watch Barry season 4 on HBO Max in the US

Barry season 4 debuted on the linear HBO channel Sunday, April 16 with a double-header at 10pm ET/PT. There will be eight episodes in total, with the series finale expected to arrive on May 28.

If you've cut the cord or don't have HBO as a part of your cable package, you can just as easily watch new episodes of Barry on HBO Max instead.

There are two HBO Max price points - $9.99 a month with commercials, or the 4K HDR, commercial-free subscription at $15.99, which also unlocks 4K streaming and Dolby Atmos sound.

Alternatively, you could save up to 20% when you subscribe to an annual plan. That’s $99.99 for the ad-supported plan, or $149.99 for the ad-free option. Either way, if you go annual you essentially bag yourself two months of free streaming.

What else can I watch on HBO Max?

That's a total bargain, considering you'll get access to a huge library of top-drawer entertainment, including critically acclaimed series Succession, Perry Mason, The Last of Us, The White Lotus and Insecure, award-winning animated movies from Studio Ghibli, DC Universe shows like Peacemaker, Doom Patrol and Harley Quinn, plus The Sopranos, Euphoria, and not forgetting Game of Thrones.

The 7-day HBO Max free trial has long since been discontinued. But, if you're a current HBO Now subscriber or pay for HBO through your cable provider, you could be entitled to HBO Max at no extra cost.

Devices compatible with HBO Max include iPhone and Android devices, Apple and Samsung TVs, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, Chromecast and Chromebooks, and laptops and PCs. HBO Max on Roku and Amazon Fire Stick is also available.
