Pretty Good

From my favorite movies..

Don't listen to the negative reviews

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is hands down the best show on television. Period. The writing, the acting, the plot ... all continue to amaze me. There aren't many shows that literally make me LOL but this one does. Over and over. Not only is it funny, it is totally unpredictable. These folks all deserve awards for their work. Every single blessed character is so perfectly acted and enjoyable in his/her way. The neighbor downstairs, the senate candidate, the detective, the director ... all shine along side the beyond-gifted main characters. I finally feel like there is a show that isn't below my intelligence level ... like so many of these ridiculous sitcoms. I just finished episode 10 season 2. I pray for more! Thank you TBS!

Really. I will NEVER believe a good rating again. This was embarrassingly bad. The characters were each and every one a ridiculously shallow cliché. And not funny- kind of teeth grinding- can't-watch-it's-so-bad sort of cliché. There was no development either of the paper cutout characters or of the plot. I kept waiting for Dori (the explory) to actually find some clue but there were really weren't any- they were all pulled out of the warped imaginations of one of the silly characters. Dori the Encyclopedia Brown clone ends up cheating on her boyfriend because she had two beers and worked really hard. And she did it apparently with her clothes on. (?) The shaggy dog ending might have graced an episode of Scooby-Doo except the group all decides the mystery is solved wanders off to have a drink leaving the only honest character who was actually trying to solve the mystery bleeding to death in a closet. Why did I spend 5 hours in front of a screen watching this fatuous nonsense ? Because EVERYBODY liked it and gave it good ratings. Really - I will never read a rating again.

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.

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.
