Party Down (TV Series) Jack Botty's Delayed Post-Pandemic Surprise Party (2023) User Reviews

Episode 302

Party Down does it again and is proving that this revival was a genius idea as we got another laugh out loud episode tonight. Megan Mullally's character is still connecting, the same issue we had in Season 2, but for the most part almost all scenes delivered here and they have done a good job of maintaining the true voice of the show while including some modern things such as dance videos, cancel culture and COVID.

I have a feeling the ratings probably are not much better than they were during the initial run, but the material continues to be great and I hope more people start to watch this show.

the worrisome trend

I couldn't even get through this episode. The trend I was fearing is coming real; Social media is the prevailing theme. I hated the show 'Mr. Mayor' for this and now Party Down - whilst true in it's modern age depiction of what constitutes fame - has been ruined with it. If you're going to revamp Party Down with just a 6 episode season, I wish they would've stuck with the main characters, the struggling actor/writer/comedians. Here, they introduce new characters who have their own thing. What I loved about the original series is that it was about holding onto hope, cultivating your talent, breaking into showbiz. It gave me optimism. Never give up. If this has been replaced with the vapid desire to gain fame through social media, I just don't find it funny. And it's depressing.
