    Over a decade since it was cancelled, the Party Down crew (well, most of them) return with Ron still doing his best and ultimately failing to control his employees.

    It’s a shame that we only get six new episodes, but this long awaited return fares a lot better than the majority of revivals (Arrested Development, The X-Files, Heroes to name but a few), and more than lives up to it’s    Over a decade since it was cancelled, the Party Down crew (well, most of them) return with Ron still doing his best and ultimately failing to control his employees.

Fingers crossed we don’t have to wait another thirteen years to see more new episodes!    … Expand

    I saw the first episode and it was not as good as the old show. There is hope though.

    Just as strong as it was 10 years ago. I would have liked more than 6 episodes though as the original series had 10 episodes per season. It is very rare for a reboot to keep up such high quality.

    The opening episodes of Party Down's third season successfully reunite nearly all of this brilliant workplace comedy's cast in a way that few other revivals have managed.

    The revival does not disappoint, setting a new standard for series resurrections by being unafraid to tackle the low-grade dismay of financial precarity and middle-age failure. ... But the character beats are disrupted by the series’ now creaky commitment to broader gags.

    A revival of a 13-year-old series, it feels full of freshman possibilities, and one hopes it doesn’t end here.
