‘Search Party' on TBS: Shooting Black Teens Is ‘Obviously’ All Police Do

For all those who loathe the vapid lives of self-obsessed 20-somethings… you are not in luck with TBS’s new dark comedy Search Party. While I admire the show for attempting to take a “satirical” turn on Millennials in a serious situation, Search Party seems to greatly overestimate our tolerance for these kinds of people.

In Search Party, a young woman named Dory (Alia Shawkat) becomes enwrapped in a mystery when a girl she met once in college goes missing. No matter how deep (or shallow) they get on proving millennial nonsense, some moments just can’t get passed general awfulness. For example, in the second episode, which aired Monday night, “The Woman Who Knew Too Much,” Dory attempts to talk to a police officer regarding the missing person case. When she appears to reach a dead end, she leaves him to go back to “shooting black teens” because, echoing Black Lives Matter activists, “That’s obviously all they do.”

Rough figures, Police shoot and kill around 750 persons a year, 250 of those may be black. So, all of these protests are exaggerated.

Sadly, the handful of vapid viewers of this program actually will believe the propaganda.

They should dedicate the next cop assassination to this episode.
