Party Down: Season 3

"A welcome return that makes one wish this show never went away in the first place."

"Still riotously funny, sharp, and savvy..."

"The absurdist tone and deadpan dilemmas still thrive."

"A dour party you'll want to leave early."

"The series returns with a sharp third season that mines immense humour from the Sisyphean pursuits of its characters."

"If anything, the new season is even better than the first two, because time has only improved its ability to take on the themes it wanted to explore in the first place."

"A genial get-together for great comedy talents."

"The rare nostalgia trip that doesn't actually feel like it's lamely wistful for the past."

"The cult comedy makes its brief comeback feel worth it... It remains one of the smartest shows about idiots to ever do it."

"A very funny, very welcome return, despite some greatest-hits pandering."

"The show at its best generates such a happy-go-lucky absurdity amid the ego-smashing reality of anyone struggling to find a foothold in showbiz."

"This revival marks a new golden standard for giving a classic comedy new life."

"A revival caught between forced nostalgia, absurd comedy, and inescapable despair."

"The show could be required viewing for anyone hoping to move to Los Angeles and wanting to know what to expect."

"Still laugh-till-you-cry television..."
