“Search Party” thus remains relentless in its desire to deny its characters complete or happy endings. During the first few episodes, the show still manages to do what it does best, by offering an accurate portrayal — and partial critique — of the varying ways of life within a group of 20-somethings.
The show's writers offer millennial characters who are recognizable, endearing and aggravating, sometimes at the same time, sometimes in a single scene. Sure, the humor is a lot subtler than it used to be when it aired on TBS, but it’s not lost entirely. Drew works as a character at a theme park — a veritable humor mine. Portia is the bubbly aspiring actress of the group, who gets cast as Dory in a true-crime re-enactment film. And Elliott decides to cultivate a cutthroat image as a conservative television host alongside newcomer Charlie Reeny .
And the show doesn’t hit viewers over the head with the inevitable, exhausting “all millennials are bad” trope — which is quite an old canard, as millennials themselves are turning 40 this year — but instead welcomes both young millennials and those of Gen Z to watch the journeys of the show’s complex characters without obviously Gen X or boomer foils meant to show them how they’re supposed to act.
THINK As a Millennial I have to say this is dumb.
