Loved it! DIRECTV has all episodes on demand and it's worth a binge!

I recorded the first two episodes last night and watched them. After watching, I literally thought "meh".
Then when I realized all 10 episodes are available, I went in for the the binge! I loved it!!!

I must say the characters are the hardest part to swallow at the beginning of this show. Though as I continued watching and I saw how the writers used their flaws to tell their stories, they grew in me! Truly!
As you get to know the characters they become hilarious and engrossing.

If the entire season hasn't been available, I don't know if I would have come back to it but I'm so glad I did.

If you're watching, give it a chance. I'd love to see the discussion that the final episodes will develop amongst viewers.

I could not agree more! Truly one of my favorite new shows of the year! I hope discussion picks up after it finishes airing on TV. Very bingeable and I think probably works better in a self contained single watch narrative than a weekly tv show. I thought the pacing was fantastic. And boy- that ending!! I think a lot of the people on this board are having a hard time with the show because many other similar shows like "girls" depict characters this selfish as sympathetic, or try to excuse these types of flaws. "Search Party" does no such thing. Search party satires behaviors in this generation by taking them to an extreme, and then showing them for what they are: selfish to the point of dangerous

I just finished the series this evening, and I agree as well -- great show. Loved the conclusion, it was different. Just wish I knew what happened after the reveal (i.e., what were the ultimate consequences for the search party after the event).

I like how the show balanced comedy with a serious mystery...it never got too silly, or too dark. Had a great flow to it. Hope there is a second season.

Agreed. I binged it over a couple of days and really liked it. I loved all the quirky characters and did not see that ending coming

I really liked it as well but going by some of the reviews and comments, it seems an equal number absolutely despised it.
