Disillusioned at the thought of taking down another "mark," depressed, low-level hit man Barry Berkman seeks a way out. When the Midwesterner reluctantly travels to Los Angeles to execute a hit on an actor who is bedding a mobster's wife, little does Barry know that the City of Angels may be his sanctuary. He follows his target into acting class and ends up instantly drawn to the community of eager hopefuls, especially dedicated student Sally, who becomes the object of his affection. While Barry wants to start a new life as an actor, his handler, Fuches, has other ideas, and the hit man's criminal past won't let him walk away so easily. 越笑越丧的另类喜剧。暴力喜剧的中二精髓。小黄台的惊喜，冷酷杀手逐梦演艺圈。当一个讨好型人格成为杀手（含剧透）。这么精致的剧当然要分集数梗啦。对于HBO，这部剧还不够。被低估的黑色喜剧。悲剧是内核。优点和缺点都如此鲜明。现代版《麦克白》。 海军陆战队退役军人巴瑞，在美国中西部地区当杀手，但收入微薄。当他前往洛杉矶执行刺杀任务，却意外参加了一门表演课程，很快和表演伙伴们打成一片。巴瑞在洛杉矶的剧场里，找到一群满怀希望的人们，让他想要开始新生活，但之前背负的罪行却不愿意轻易放过他，巴瑞能否在两个世界找到平衡？
