Search Party	comment	Search Party is is a dark comedy (and more) series created by Sarah-Violet Bliss, Charles Rogers, and Michael Showalter.When directionless millennial Dory Sief (Alia Shawkat) learns a girl she vaguely knew in college named Chantal (Claire McNulty) has gone missing, she enlists her boyfriend Drew (John Reynolds) and their friends, hipster Elliott (John Early) and wannabe actress Portia (Meredith Hagner), to help find her. The group's investigation leads them in many weird directions, and what began as an amateur missing persons case eventually devolves into something else entirely. In addition to the main cast, additional recurring and guest roles are filled with the likes of Rosie Perez, Ron Livingston, Parker Posey, Griffin Newman, Louie Anderson, and Wallace Shawn, just to name a few.The series regularly defies genre, always remaining firmly in dark comedy territory but with added elements of film noir, psychological thriller, and legal drama depending on the season. As such, it's difficult to discuss the series beyond season one without spoiling later developments that alter the status quo significantly. You Have Been Warned!Search Party premiered on TBS in 2016 and ran for two seasons there. Though never hitting big ratings, it was consistently acclaimed and fostered a cult following its unique blend of off-the-wall humor and heart-pounding drama. The series eventually moved to HBO Max starting with season three, following a longer-than-usual series hiatus of three years. The fifth and final season aired in 2022.

Subverted with Prosecutor Polly Danzinger; the primary antagonist of season 3. While she's only doing her job in trying to bring Dory and Drew to justice for killing Keith, she's such an uptight and arrogant Jerkass about it that it's near impossible to take her side.

Search Party / int_177a6464	comment	Genre Shift: The series is consistently a Girls-style dramedy about twenty-something hipsters in New York, but has an undercurrent of a noir thriller as Dory unravels the mystery of Chantal's disappearance. By season 2, while still arguably in the style of a noir, the series becomes about the leads trying to cover up the crime they committed rather than solving one. Season 3 becomes a courtroom drama after Dory and Drew are arrested and put on trial for Keith's murder. Then season 4 shifts into a psychological thriller in the style of Room or Misery after Dory is kidnapped by her psychotic super-fan Chip. Finally, season 5 tops it all off with a zombie apocalypse as Dory's pursuit to share enlightenment with the world goes horribly wrong.

Search Party / int_20a14df0	comment	Wrong Genre Savvy: A central aspect of the series is that Dory tries to filter her life through the lens of a genre narrative in order to find meaning where there isn't any. While this is most clearly seen in the first season, where her attempts at being an Amateur Sleuth end in her killing a person while trying to solve a mystery that didn't exist to begin with, it continues to be present even after the series undergoes a Genre Shift between seasons. It causes her to become outright villainous in season 3 when she decides to embrace the media's own false narrative about her being a calculating Femme Fatale.

Search Party / int_2764d432	comment	Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Drew is generally polite, passive, and conflict avoidant, but is also very petty and vindictive. Perhaps best shown when he "confronts" Julian over spending time with his girlfriend, where he tries to frame the interaction as a friendly one (even buying Julian a milkshake and pretending that he was given two by mistake to seem less obvious), refuses to own up to the actual reason why he wanted to meet up when Julian calls him out on it, and throws the aforementioned milkshake at Julian in frustration after he walks away. Rather than confront Dory directly about how unhappy he is with her fixation on "solving" Chantal's disappearance, he fakes having their apartment get ransacked as an attempt to scare her off from looking into things any further. This ends up backfiring fantastically, and only ends up making the situation much worse for both of them. Senator Mary Ferguson is presented as a compassionate liberal icon who Julian admires, but quickly reveals herself to be corrupt, craven, and abusive toward her campaign workers, with much of her progressiveness merely being performative lip service to win votes. Most notably, she starts sexually harassing Julian, and her harassment has a distinctly racist undercurrent.

The main four cause a zombie apocalypse that wipes out a majority of the United States' population. While they survive the ordeal and are able to mostly return to their old lives, they are completely unaffected by anything they have experienced and don't appear to hold themselves accountable for the current state of the world, with Dory in particular seemingly having abandoned her aspirations of doing anything that goes beyond her shallow Brooklyn millennial lifestyle. Even their friendship remaining intact could be argued to be more bad than good, as the series goes to great lengths to show how toxic it is for each of them.

We finally meet them in season 3, where it is confirmed that Dory essentially cut all contact with them after leaving home for college out of defiance of their humdrum lifestyle. When she's forced to reconnect with them for the sake of improving her public image during her trial, she shows no interest in them beyond how they can benefit her and they admit to knowing so little about her that they don't doubt that she could be capable of murder.

Plot: Chantal ran away from home for her own petty reasons; if Dory hadn't read into the situation as much as she did (which she was regularly warned against doing throughout the first season), then she and her friends wouldn't have ended up as murderers. It's revealed in season 3 that Keith placed a tracking device on Dory's phone that allowed him to trace her to Canada. This alone likely would have been enough evidence to allow Dory and Drew to get away with a self defense charge for killing him. Since they didn't know about it at the time, though, they instead chose to bury his body and go out of their way to cover up his death, making both their crimes and their potential punishment significantly more severe.

Mary Ferguson is presented as being a benevolent and progressive Reasonable Authority Figure when she first appears, but reveals herself to be little more than a power hungry opportunist who takes advantage of her position to sexually harass an employee. During her overnight stay in prison, Dory encounters a fellow inmate who politely offers her the seat next to her and displays a certain level of civility and intelligence through her enjoyment and understanding of the movie Lady Bird. When Dory attempts small talk, the woman immediately explodes at her for casually using the word "insane" and ends up throwing her chair through the TV the movie was playing on and getting dragged off by the cops while vowing to kill Dory in her sleep.

The season ends with Dory looking shell-shocked into the camera. The second season ends with Dory killing April by pushing her off of a ferry, and later getting arrested at an event for being connected to the murder of Keith. In the third season Dory escapes justice for Keith's death, only to be captured by her obsessed fan and chained up. The fifth season tops them all, ending with Dory unwittingly causing a Zombie Apocalypse that is indicated to wipe out 99% of the human race, or at least the population of the United States.

Search Party / int_4fbc0887	comment	Beneath the Mask: Elliott maintains his usual narcissistic confidence even after Keith's murder, and seemingly handles it all with much less guilt than his friends do. As the second season continues, though, we see his subconscious guilt steadily consume him as he mutters Keith's name incessantly in his sleep, breaks out in a full body rash and starts losing his hair from stress, and finally has a full psychotic episode that pushes his publicist into sending him to a mental institution. During his first day in the institution, he admits that he felt the need to maintain a veneer of ambivalence about the murder in order to seem strong for his friends, and later has a sudden sobbing breakdown where he admits how horrible he feels about not only his involvement in the murder but also all the numerous other times he's lied throughout his life. Admitting this cheers him up enough to allow him to promptly put his mask back on and return to his usual selfish and unflappable self.

It's only in the first episode of season 4 that we learn the "confession" was simply proclaiming that Chip was her best friend and had nothing to do with the case. Chantal sees a missing person poster for Dory during her Day in the Limelight episode in season 4, recreating the series' opening scene and stares intently at it for several seconds, seemingly setting her up to go on a similar journey to find Dory as Dory did to find her. Instead, she rips the poster out of the way and reveals that she was actually looking at the poster beneath it, which was a call looking to find the author of the book she wrote.

The viewer knows that Dory and Drew are guilty of the crimes they're being accused of, and Dory's behavior throughout the trial becomes increasingly harder to describe as anything other than villainous, and yet the prosecutor is very effectively framed as an unlikable Jerkass; enough that you instinctively see her as the villain despite her being entirely in the right for wanting to put them away. When it comes time for the end of the trial, Dory's closing statement to the jury manages to be so emotional, and so genuine-seeming, that it becomes easy to forget that she is lying through her teeth throughout all of it and suddenly find yourself rooting for her all over again. Once the jury declares them not guilty, though, we're treated to a rapid series of flashbacks depicting every single instance of Dory and Drew committing the crimes they just got acquitted of, sharply snapping back to reality to remind the viewer that the protagonists are murderers.

While they're all sympathetic to varying degrees (even Elliott), and Keith, the victim, was rather transparently a scumbag, the remainder of the series is about them literally attempting to get away with murder and becoming increasingly harder to root for in the process.

Search Party / int_8ace85ef	comment	Audience Surrogate: Deconstructed with Dory. She's introduced with essentially no discernible character traits beyond being a young person Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life, which makes her very easy for the viewer to project themselves onto. As the series progresses, though, it becomes clear that Dory's complete lack of any kind of sense of self is actually a sign of something much more unbalanced within her, as she repeatedly ruins the lives of numerous others for the sake of her own sense of fulfillment, growing increasingly less guilty about her actions each time. By season 3, it's hard to describe her as anything other than a callous, calculating borderline sociopath. When she is put on trial for her crimes in the same season, her surface-level image as an attractive, blank slate young person manages to win her enormous support from the American public and eventually get acquitted for her crimes, entirely because they perceive her to be "just like" them. It also earns her an extremely unhinged stalker who becomes obsessed with her because she's allegedly "just like" him.

In the season 2 finale, she ends up pushing April off a ledge into the Hudson river in a desperate bid to stop her from saying anything to anyone, and does so while wearing the same dress she was in her hallucination. If you listen closely to the voice telling Drew that Dory's Loony Fan died in the hospital late into season 3, you can hear that it is actually the loony fan himself putting on a woman's voice, setting up the reveal that he's Not Quite Dead. Viewers with less acute hearing can still figure out the twist using simple logic, as it's highly improbable that the hospital would contact someone outside of the deceased's family to report their death. Elliott actually pieces the latter clue together himself in season 4, which ends up being the decisive evidence needed to make the group realize that Dory had been kidnapped. Chip tells several stories of his childhood that suggest he was raised primarily by his aunt Lylah. We eventually learn that Chip is the product of incest and that his aunt Lylah is also his biological mother.

In particular, the sleazy businessman that hits on Portia at Chantal's wake is suggested to have been having an affair with Chantal that is in some way connected to her disappearance. As it turns out, Chantal was having an affair with a married man, but it was a completely different guy that the group never met. Joy Hartman's murder of Fat Frankie is set up to be a major plot point at the end of season 2, with her being forced to lie about Dory's innocence in court to protect herself. Her very first appearance in season 3 has Prosecutor Danzinger reveal that Fat Frankie was an FBI informant and that she has full confidence that he had no connection with the case. Hartman is promptly fired from the police and never seen again. Fat Frankie himself is an in-universe example; a random name Dory threw out to redirect Keith's ex-wife's suspicion away from herself that ends up upending Detective Hartman's investigation into the murder when an actual man with mob connections named Fat Frankie turns out to be Real After All.

Perhaps best shown when he "confronts" Julian over spending time with his girlfriend, where he tries to frame the interaction as a friendly one (even buying Julian a milkshake and pretending that he was given two by mistake to seem less obvious), refuses to own up to the actual reason why he wanted to meet up when Julian calls him out on it, and throws the aforementioned milkshake at Julian in frustration after he walks away. Rather than confront Dory directly about how unhappy he is with her fixation on "solving" Chantal's disappearance, he fakes having their apartment get ransacked as an attempt to scare her off from looking into things any further. This ends up backfiring fantastically, and only ends up making the situation much worse for both of them.
