Search Party

What an ending! I've loved this show from the beginning and each season managed to top itself. Trying not to spoil but things go BIG at the end and it's pulled off wonderfully.

It has something but I didn't warm to the characters. (1 season)

Millennials, eh?

This is kind of like Blow Up's answer to Nancy Drew in the age of millennials... I think? I kind of want to punch myself in the face for even stringing that sentence together, but the deed has been done. This show is much smarter than it lets on though, but I do wish it had been marketed a bit differently. That being said, the ending is incredibly satisfying in its annihilation of any sense of reward or catharsis. The show coyly plays with lots of tropes and loses itself a bit, but I liked it.

I like it. Bite sized pieces of crazy.

[through season 5]

S1 / nice ideas, meh execution.

A bizarre Millenial mystery full of awkwardness, dark humor, and some pretty good acting. I have only watched one season, so the score is subject to change, but so far I am digging the strangeness.

This is a weird show. I happen to basically hate every character on screen, yet I still keep being drawn in to see what happens next. I don't particularly enjoy this show all that much, but I still have to kind of know how it ends, you know? EDIT: The ending was nuts

Had to knock this down from 70 to 50 as I continued to watch. There are some fun scenes in the later series but it definitely peaks at the end on the second series and declines from there onwards.

This is the capstone of the Postmodern Detectice Trilogy (with Inherent Vice and Under the Silver Lake). IV is for boomers, UtSL is for GenX and this is for millenials. IV cuts off the signifiers, UtSL plunges the narrator into aimless disaffection and SP investigates how even superficial caricatures are real people. All the postmodern adventures of self-discovery come to a head here, because this Buzzfeed Nancy Drew showcases how there are real world consequence to megalomaniacal fantasies.

Another dark comedy that failed to amuse me, I couldn't even see the jokes
