I think on the concept alone it would be hard to go as dark as Barry but I'd be shocked if it doesn't go places regardless.

I'm betting in the Barry sense. I don't see him doing much traditional stuff anymore. I think there's a lot of Barry in him, just not the killing stuff

The second season of Barry is one of most clever and hilarious stuff I've ever watched, hopefully it will stay comedy this time around and won't try too hard doing drama with questionable results.
