Party Down (Seasons 1–3)

Party Down (2009) is a Starz comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. A crew of struggling Hollywood actors moonlights as caterers for a company called Party Down — passing trays, pouring drinks, and quietly nursing delusions of stardom.

Adam Scott plays Henry, a guy whose entire résumé amounts to one beer commercial. His coworkers are no more grounded: Ken Marino's pitching screenplays nobody wants, Martin Starr's deep into a sci-fi novel he keeps in his apron pocket, and Lizzy Caplan is one bad audition away from quitting entirely. Each episode drops them into a new event — a quinceañera, a sci-fi convention, a Hollywood wrap party — where something inevitably collapses before dessert.

The show ran for two seasons in 2009–2010, then came back twelve years later with a third season that pulled the original cast together alongside Jennifer Coolidge and James Marsden. The revival somehow held up: jokes about failure land harder when the characters have had a decade to fail more thoroughly. Stream all seasons of Party Down online on iFILM.
