pre I watched the first season over the course of a few days. It never really got to the point where I couldn't wait to watch the next episode. It was more like a filler when I had watched everything else. The series about Dori, a girl who wants to find a girl she barely knew in college. She starts to annoy her boyfriend, the girl's family and basically even the viewer with her obsession. While kinda cute I never actually like the character, actually over the course of the show her actions make her more and more unlikeable. Who I really like were the two John's (real names), one is playing the boyfriend and the other her gay friend. I won't spoil any more of the content, they meet all kind of crazy people, many of them really one-dimensional, and none of them really interesting. And here is the biggest problem I had with the show: Most of the characters are too flat for a drama, yet too unfunny for a comedy. Imagine Modern Family, where every character is as they are right now, but nobody ever says anything funny. Or imagine Breaking Bad where you can't take the plot serious because the characters are like from a sitcom. That's my biggest dilemma. There is an actress in there and she is supposed to be a bad actress, I think? Is that supposed to be funny? Because she never says anything funny. But she doesn't matter to the plot as well. Why is she there? Why does she have scenes? Nobody knows and her scenes don't matter. She is just there because she is a blonde, good-looking actress and the lead isn't as attractive enough I guess. Also so the lead can talk to people sometimes and drive them crazy.If there is a season 2, I'm gonna watch it, because of the two John's. Not because of the plot. And I'm gonna watch it on my 2nd monitor while doing something more important on my main monitor. 6,5/10

Charles Herold (cherold) From the beginning, I was fascinated by this quirky series, in which an unhappy young woman with shallow friends and little ambition latches onto the mysterious disappearance of a casual acquaintance, and, after thinking she sees her in a restaurant, going full-out Nancy Drew, roping her friends into the search.It's not the humor that drew me to the series. The comedic elements rarely made me laugh; it was more of an, "ah, clever" sort of reaction. I'd say it's more a satire of the modern age than a comedy, although I guess that's a form of modern comedy, as seen from Louis CK or Master of None, although I personally prefer Search Party to those.While I didn't laugh much, I was fully invested in the relatably flawed and uncertain Dory. She's not much less awful or shallow than her friends, but she has a dogged determination, holding onto her mystery like a life raft, that keeps you rooting for her.To a large extent, Search Party is an existential mystery. If you're looking for Agatha Christie or Dashiell Hammett then you'll be disappointed, but if you want a series concerned more with the utter absurdity of Christie/Hammett if placed in the real world, this show is wonderfully satisfying.

Beebee This show is fun! It's characters are shallow and the actors portraying them make that somewhat OK if not a little annoying in a fun way. The actors are doing a great job. It's a dark comedy and it's entertaining. It's a little ridiculous which adds to the appeal. The show demonstrates what it can feel like to find something and someone meaningful in life. And how that can change in a sometimes brief time period. Search party in that they're searching for this missing "friend" (acquaintance?) and searching for more substance in their own lives. A little off-beat and enjoyable. I look forward to watching more episodes.

erolsabadosh 7 episodes in and I'm hooked! This show is absolutely HILARIOUS!!! The style of humour is somewhere between Broad City and Louis; it's quite dark and weird at times but also fun and irreverent. The cast is awesome, doing a really good job portraying characters who are deeply flawed and making them entertaining to watch. A lot of the comedy stems from making fun of them and the often ridiculous things they do but it's not mean spirited; the show has a real charm to it that makes it ideal for binge watching. Every episode adds another layer to the mystery and we watch the characters unravel and get into ever-increasingly bizarre situations that all had me laughing out loud and often cringing too. One of my new favourites!
