If you came across the name of “Party Down” (sometime, about a decade ago, it was called in Israel as “The Party People”, but there is no way you remember it as “The Party People” and it also just creates confusion with the classic film by Michael Winterbottom. So it’s a shame. In short , she is no longer the “party people” as far as we are concerned), so it was probably in all kinds of lists of “the series that were canceled too quickly”. Starz’s 2009 Rob Thomas (“Veronica Mars”) bittersweet comedy about a group of Hollywood caterers with Hollywood dreams (in varying degrees of shattering) who see the parties of the city’s rich from the wrong side of the buffet first boasted a cast Unbelievable – Adam Scott (“Detachment”, “Gardens and Landscape Department”), Ken Marino (“Eastbound and Down”), Lizzy Caplan (“Bad Girls”), Jane Lynch (“Glee”), Martin Starr ( “Freaks and Geeks”). Even Jennifer Coolidge, TV’s woman of the hour, had a wonderful guest role in one of the seasons.
In any case, her comeback almost 15 years later is undoubtedly one of the weirdest and coolest surprises of the year – certainly when Adam Scott is just starring in one of the biggest and talked about dramas of the time, it’s really incomprehensible that he is – and almost all the rest of the cast (except for Kaplan, for some reason) are returning to the bow tie The pink they had to put on them. Most of all, it is a testament to how good and exciting this cult series really was, not only for the viewers but also for the cast, whose enjoyment of its creation really drips from every frame.
So the third season has only just started, but the very fact that almost all the heroes are still working in the catering service that was a temporary job for them back in 2009 – that already tells the whole story about where they are in life. Oh yes, and then at the end of the first episode the corona virus arrives. As if the world of events needed more trouble. In short, follow this season – and also complete the previous two, because between us, the chances are that you missed it.
