Revivals always come packaged with a wistful sense of loss and a begrudging acknowledgment of the passage of time.

Even the happiest ones are a little sad.

And therein lies the key to this revivals success:Party Downwasalwaysa little sad.

Shes shooting in New York, Roman tells Lydia.

Too big-time for the likes of us.

(Caplanreportedlycouldnt make theParty Downfilming work as it overlapped with her schedule forFleishman Is in Trouble.)

I always rooted for them as a couple, Lydia tells Constance in the season-three premiere.

Because they hooked up ten years ago on and off on a shit job?

Because theyre both skinny and they both have brown hair!

Its just so romantic!

This was never the kind of show to overstate its own significance or overplay its hand.

Its small and specific and punchy and fun.
