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.

As aha moments go, it's laughably simple, though it's not a shock it took four seasons for her to grasp the basics of cause and effect. In Search Party's darkest chapter yet, the scariest thing you can be is in control. Go to Full Review Sadaf Ahsan Globe and Mail Mar 18, 2021
You almost hope that Dory, Drew, Elliott and Portia fail, because not only do the hijinks prove endlessly hilarious, but the resultant pathos feels uniquely reflective of this very moment. Go to Full Review Marina Watanabe Bitch Media Mar 17, 2021
Ann Dowd is never not good! It has to be said. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. Sep 28, 2022
After three seasons proving itself uniquely adept at bridging compelling mystery with hilarious satire about the self-absorption of millennials, Search Party continues to raise the bar in season four. Go to Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof Jul 5, 2022

Laura M @Lauraxplaura Sep 27, 2026 How do they come up with this stuff. Writers are so cleaver. Season 4 is outstanding. See more Ben B @suikofreak412 Sep 18, 2026 I kind of liked this season. Not as good as the others but still worth watching. Definitely different and a little darker but still pretty funny yeah. See more sarah H @Humphriessarah2 Aug 15, 2026 Characters are so much fun See more Lukas S. @lukasamufasa Mar 9, 2026 Absolutely awful. If I could give negative stars I would. The 1st season had such potential See more Jay C. @suifuun2 Jan 20, 2026 It starts out different than any previous season, true to form, which is probably why people didn't love Season 4 as much. If the first half runs a bit, the second half is truly, truly worth the wait. I'm a lifelong writer. Believe me when I say, the second half of Season 4 is some of the best character and plot writing I have ever witnessed. In my life. As a man in my 30s, I wept. Poignant. Perfectly written. See more Gareth v @geewah Jun 14, 2023 So, so disappointing. This show could of been round off perfectly at the end of season 3, but instead the attempt to keep it going results in this rather dull and pointless season. See more Read all reviews
