    Dory (Alia Shawkat) faces the music (and the viewer) in the third season of <em>Search Party</em> on HBO Max.

    This review contains spoilers for the first two seasons of Search Party.

    "What does this mean for ME?"

    That's Search Party's text — as in, a line of dialogue that crops up several times, in different characters' mouths — and its pervasive subtext. Because the true subject of the series, which began life on TBS but returns for a third season on HBO Max today, is self-important, self-involved, self-justifying selfishness.

    You might not have started, its main character Dory (Alia Shawkat) seemed to lack any sense of self at all — she was meek, passive and directionless, unable to fix on an identity, or a purpose. Which was probably why she threw herself so vehemently into a quest: To search for Chantal (Clare McNulty), a college acquaintance who'd gone missing.
