Uhhh no I’m pretty sure they’re illegally smuggling sand to become legitimately powerful crime lords. That was their pivot away from going legit.

That was the first thing I thought of when I read this headline. That show is one of my all time favorites, very underrated!

I too came here and typed "Ctrl+F barr". Criminal how overlooked Barry was this awards season!

It really is. It's a fantastic show. The latter seasons did change a bit but that's the whole point of it. Well done by Hader and team. The end of it was wild.

Edit: it's one of the best scenes in Barry.

The illegal sand trade was also a plot point in a 2018 episode of CBS’ Elementary.
