Search Party

I could not get enough of season one through four. The characters are absolutely hilarious. Elliot's character may be one of the best characters ever created. The last season is cringe worthy, hard to watch and leaves you totally annoyed and disappointed. Just like the last season of GOT, the last season needs a rewrite.

Series 5 is bizarre and Series 4 weak, but I still gave it 9 stars as Series 1-3 are brilliant and overall, it was one of the most addictive and entertaining shows I have seen in a while.

Great characters that are somehow horrifying and likeable in equal measure, plot twist after plot twist and very good acting. Really original!

IMDB insists I add more characters so I will also comment on Alia Shawkat. Her acting in particular stands out. The range of emotions she can portray is brilliant. A failure in Series 5 is the sudden changes to the main characters' personalities. However, Alia manages to pull it off and is pretty convincing as the tortured guru.

I started watching this show because I thought it would be an easy background show to put on. At first I wasn't sure about the characters but stuck with it out of plot curiosity. But as each season passed it became more and more absurd and I completely fell into it. It is unpredictable, very dark yet light, smart yet ridiculously stupid, and made me laugh til I cried. I have never seen anything quite like it. If you have a quirkier mind and sense of humour, I think you'll eat this up.

I have no idea what the other three reviewers were watching, but I truthfully could not stop laughing. I'm 51, so I doubt this show was aimed at my demographic (according to advertisers, the fact that I'm past the age of 49 means I either I don't exist or I don't consume, or both).My bete noir is bad scriptwriting, where every scene can be predicted, and the characters are one dimensional; this show didn't fall into that trap ONCE! After the first scene, I assumed that the Drew character, Dory's boyfriend, was a narcissistic simp, but as the first episode continued, he was shown to be an OK guy, who truly loves Dory, or at least, really cares for her. I have watched eight episodes on On Demand, each one is funny and touching; touching because Dory is such a vulnerable, relatable, 3 dimensional character. Give it time, and make sure you're actually watching "Search Party" and not the apparently horrible show the above reviewers watched.

I fell in love with this show when it first aired and then after season two, nothing for years! Now we are getting two additional seasons from HBO Max. This show is so smart and unique. The characters are shallow and so selfish but you can't help but want to see what happens next. Alia Shawkat as Dory is amazing at portraying her characters guilt and struggles with the decisions that she has made. Just watch it! You won't regret it!
