This review is spoiler-free and based on all ten episodes ofSearch Party Season 2.
Right now I need everyone to do their best to pretend that their good, normal, non-murdering people.
The first season ofSearch Partyis one of the most well-articulated, fully formed debut seasons of a television show.
It quickly proved to be more than just some edgy comedy about a missing person.
Its a deep relief to see thatSearch Partyssophomore year is even more impressive than its first.
One of the most satisfying things aboutSearch Partysfirst season is how authentic the characters feel.
Season two is considerably more raw and honest.
This year, the characters are pushed out of their comfort zones and begin to unravel.
This isnt a bad thing and if anything it shows how fearless the people behindSearch Partyare.
Its the perfect balance of comedy and high stakes drama.
Much of this season deals with how the guilt of Dory and her friends grows with each new episode.
Every aspect of this thing is too much for these characters.
Furthermore, the season raises the enlightening question of whether Dory even deserves to get away with murder.
Elliott in particular goes to some crazy places that really show off how John Earlys talents know no limits.
Alia Shawkat is once again the clear standout though and she really goes above and beyond here.
Its fair to say that this season features some of the best work of Shawkats career.
Her character is the embodiment of be careful what you wish for.
Shes a welcome presence/collective punching bag for this group of misfits.
In a sick way, she gives a number of people the very purpose that shes missing.
Search Partyssecond season is in every way more of a ride than the first.
