Episode Summary & Review

Summary

At a college conservatives event, students aim to give the Party Down team advice on success. As the event goes on, it turns out the students may not be so bright.

Our Take

A step up from the premiere, mostly because the college conservative setting gives the ensemble better targets than a generic party. Ken Marino and Adam Scott play off each other nicely, though some of the student characters run thin fast. It’s a solid hangout episode with a few good laughs, even if it never fully commits to its satire.
