The disappearance of former college acquaintance Chantal leads several 20-somethings to get entangled in the mystery of how she went missing. Leading the search party is Dory, a lifelong doormat who works as a rich housewife's assistant. Dory makes it her personal mission to find Chantal -- and she's bringing her friends into the investigation with her. Self-diagnosed narcissist Elliott, who puts his ego aside long enough to agree to help Dory, is particularly good at detective work. Bubbly actress Portia excels at chatting up suspects for information because of her desperate need to be in the spotlight. Sheltered-but-sweet doofus Drew has to grow a spine to help solve the mystery and save his deteriorating relationship with Dory. Dory's ex-boyfriend Julian seeks the truth, regardless of who it hurts, because of his background as a journalist.

All four characters tend to make the worst decision at every given opportunity -- bad for them, great fun for us. Search Party's acid-laced humour relies on that tension from Dory, Drew, Elliott and Portia choosing the wrong path. Go to Full Review Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) 07/31/2020
Search Party is never not funny, but it goes to some very dark places as it probes the angst and aimlessness of its young protagonists. The humour is both merciless and empathetic. Go to Full Review Naomi Fry The New Yorker 07/14/2020
The series remains at its best when it approaches its players' individualized tics and gestures from a slight remove-its gaze amused, sometimes even a little sympathetic, but, in the end, thoroughly unsentimental. Go to Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof 07/05/2022
4/5
Capable of reinventing itself each season, and you can watch it in a breeze. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast 07/06/2021
The brilliance with which it cycled through millennial satire, procedural drama, courtroom black comedy, survivalist thriller, and even horror-all with, somehow, a straight face and unrivaled wit-should be for everyone. At least everyone with taste. Go to Full Review Liam Maguren Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) 12/11/2020
It's a remarkably snappy running time for a mystery series, especially in comparison to bloated 10-ep shows that needlessly drag for an hour apiece. It's also a well-earned gift of a role for Alia Shawkat. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Lukas S. @lukasamufasa Mar 9 The first season was so good. And then slowly it all went downhill from there. 2nd season was fine but not as good as the first. Third season was interesting but lacked the comedy from the beginning See more Gareth v @geewah 06/17/2023 Still a clever show, but there were some parts which started to show signs it is danger of becoming a caricature of itself. See more Greg S @RT66181183 09/17/2022 Acting is fantastic. Perfectly directed. Writers are super clever. See more Ryan K @ryan_k1 04/18/2022 The consequences of previous decisions made by the characters finally materialize and the characters have to fight their way out of their situation where any mistake could be fatal. Dory and Drew have changed from who they were in season 1 and continue to change throughout the season. The writing is still sharp and the characters continue to behave consistent with their motivation. You will enjoy season 3 if you enjoyed the first two seasons. See more prawnda s @RT72497680 02/20/2022 do not watch this show. this is not "dark comedy". this is poorly written crap that gives a bad name to the mentally ill and was clearly written by someone who couldn't accurately depict having a real problem to save their life See more Whit T @RT59118791 01/20/2022 Although I loved absolutely every episode of this show, Season 3 has to be my favorite, especially the addition of trial attorneys Cassidy Diamond and Polly Danziger.
