you're charming

The series follows Barry Berkman, a hitman from Cleveland who travels to Los Angeles to kill someone but finds himself joining an acting class taught by Gene Cousineau, where he meets aspiring actress Sally Reed and begins to question his path in life as he deals with his criminal associates such as Monroe Fuches and NoHo Hank.

According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 0.208 million household viewers and gained a 0.03 ratings share among adults aged 18–49.

For the episode, Bill Hader received a nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.

District Attorney Buckner (Charles Parnell) informs Gene (Henry Winkler) and Tom Posorro (Fred Melamed) that Barry is making a deal with the FBI and advises them not to talk.

[6] Steve Greene of IndieWire gave the episode an "A" and wrote, "So, in its own way, this week's 'You're Charming' finds Barry tapping into some of its old spirit again.

"[7] Josh Spiegel of /Film wrote, "'you're charming' is another suitably tense episode, and one that once again makes clear that while few of the characters on this show are truly good people, Barry Berkman has quickly become the worst of them.

"[8] Alan Sepinwall of Rolling Stone wrote, "'You're Charming' was a potent reminder of how consistently funny Barry can be when it wants, even as the episode's two centerpiece scenes involved emotional trauma and then shocking violence.

"[9] Ben Rosenstock of Vulture gave the episode a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "'You're Charming' is structured around the hit, with most of the half-hour deriving its tension from the dramatic irony of us knowing what Barry doesn't.

We see him go through with the deal, spilling the beans about Hank and Cristobal's 'crime utopia' and fully assuming everything will work out for him, including Sally's cooperation.

There's so much magic in this episode: the camera work in the opening shot, the home invasion, Sally's close-up, the cameos that never feel overplayed, Han Zimmer's Rain Man theme needle-drop...

"[11] Bill Hader submitted the episode to support his nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards.
