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.

John Doyle Globe and Mail Jan 18, 2022
Search Party manages to become an addiction. It's a fascinating and often ferocious take on contemporary love, friendship, fame and delusion. And yet it has heart, as Dory remains an intensely compelling character. Go to Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine Jan 8, 2022
The metamorphosis worked for a number of reasons. On the level of storytelling, the central characters-incapable as they were of any actual growth-stayed remarkably consistent, retaining their young-Brooklynite insecurities even amid the cultists... Go to Full Review Esther Zuckerman Thrillist Jan 7, 2022
The fifth and final season of Search Party is, frankly, bananas. It takes a ridiculous, ballsy, massive swerve, keeping the same familiar characters but plunging them into a quasi-alt-universe version of the Brooklyn they had previously inhabited. Go to Full Review Andrew Male Sunday Times (UK) Jan 31, 2023
A Breaking Bad for the influencer generation. Go to Full Review Carla Monfort Espinof Jul 5, 2022
4/5
What started off as a Lynchian mystery ends in a completely different style... The series knows how to reinvent itself, sometimes in really wild ways, and becomes something truly surprising and original. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Terry Mesnard Gayly Dreadful Mar 18, 2022
The fifth season...throws caution to the wind and embraces multiple storylines pulled from popular fiction, all wrapped up in a candy-colored explosion. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Laura M @Lauraxplaura Oct 2, 2026 Awful. Not funny, not cute. Worse season in the series. See more Ben B @suikofreak412 Sep 25, 2026 We'll I haven't finished it so what can I say? But man it is really weird. Guess we'll see how it ends. See more sarah H @Humphriessarah2 Aug 15, 2026 Parts of this season are a miss but the ending is my fav. See more Donna A. @Donnaa Apr 1, 2026 The last two seasons were a joke…a complete waste of time! Almost ridiculous how bad each episode was. Do yourself a favor and stop after Season 3 See more Lukas S. @lukasamufasa Mar 9, 2026 Absolutely awful. If I could give negative stars I would. The 1st season had such potential. Had to stop halfway through this season because it was pointless. So stupid. Ruined a great concept See more Jay C. @suifuun2 Jan 20, 2026 This is one of those rare few generational spectacles. A story that I can truthfully say I have never seen unfold like this before, and yet that at once felt incredibly warm & familiar. Season 5 culminates in one of best endings for a television show ever, and one of the best zombie origin stories I've ever seen. See more Read all reviews
