Joyce Prigger (Ophelia Lovibond) has big dreams about how to use her liberal arts degree, looking to launch a feminist magazine in 1970s LA. But when no publisher takes her seriously, Joyce finds support from an unconventional source: the adult entertainment industry. Joyce ends up joining forces with the rogue Doug Renetti (Jake Johnson) to launch a porn magazine aimed at women, combining feminist writing with heady, head-on images of naked men.

Joining Dory are Elliott (John Early), a flamboyant narcissist, chatty actress Portia (Meredith Hanger), silly but sweet Drew (John Reynolds) and Dory’s blunt and cynical ex-boyfriend Julian (Brandon Michael Hall), who also happens to be a journalist. Ultimately, each crazy friend possesses a unique quality that can help solve Chantal’s disappearance.
search party it is first and foremost a true showcase for Shawkat’s acting talents. But it’s also an engrossing mystery series that’s carried by its equally fantastic supporting cast, who portray eccentric, self-obsessed characters who manage to be both obnoxious and likeable. Basically, you can’t help but be compelled to keep watching search party, which comes to a wild end while also providing a humorous send-up of selfish twenty-something New Yorkers.
