SEARCH PARTY Stream on HBO Max. “Could these hipsters be coldblooded murderers?” That question is posed by a news anchor in a trailer for the new, third season of this dark comedy series. The show stars Alia Shawkat as Dory, a millennial who lives in Brooklyn. The first season followed her and a group of fellow Brooklynites investigating a disappearance; the second season involved a killing. After a couple years off, Dory and company are back, this time on HBO’s new streaming service (the show was on TBS). Season 3 includes a high-stakes criminal trial, chic clothes and cynicism. “‘Search Party,’ has always had a retro-tinged aesthetic, a slight thrift-store defect to its world, which makes it feel surreal at times — part of reality but not identical to it,” Margaret Lyons wrote in a recent edition of The New York Times’s Watching newsletter. “Teasing out the contrast between the weightlessness of an imagined, curated past and the cruel density of the flawed, lived past is one of the show’s most elegant tricks.”
CREATING A CHARACTER: THE MONI YAKIM LEGACY (2020) Stream on virtual cinemas. In a recent interview with The Times, the influential Juilliard acting teacher Moni Yakim offered his thoughts on what makes a great actor: “Hard work, dedication, developing your curiosity and your interest.” Yakim, who began teaching at Juilliard in 1968, has influenced generations of American performers, among them Jessica Chastain, Kevin Kline, Oscar Isaac and Danielle Brooks. This documentary includes interviews with many of them, as it explores Yakim’s journey to becoming a teacher — he spent his childhood in Jerusalem and studied mime with Étienne Decroux and Marcel Marceau, among other pursuits — and his methods, with an emphasis on the influence he has had on his pupils.
THE TWILIGHT ZONE Stream on CBS All Access. Jordan Peele, the comic-turned-horror auteur, is one of the minds behind this most recent reboot of “The Twilight Zone,” Rod Serling’s mighty anthology series. The reboot’s first season, which debuted last year, included assorted stories of mystery — a disappearing flight, an alien abduction — with many winks to the original series. (We take ourselves seriously but never too seriously,” Peele said of the show last year in an interview with The Times. “It can’t go so dark that it makes us want to curl up in a ball.”) The new, second season includes episodes with Billy Porter, Topher Grace, Sky Ferreira, Tony Hale and other familiar faces.
