TV Series. Comedy TV Series (2011-2018). 8 Seasons. 77 Episodes. Portlandia is a follow up to the Fred Armisen/Carrie Brownstein comedy collaboration, Thunderant. In the new IFC series (executive- produced by Lorne Michaels), the pair lovingly skewer the people and values of Portland, Ore. by introducing us to Portland archetypes like a militant bike messenger, feminist bookstore owners and an arts & crafts couple who "put birds on things."

	Media	Author	Review
		Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"[Its] sketches are awkward, surreal and as maddening as they are funny"
		Christian Williams AV Club	"If Portland really is the promised land of milk and honey, then Armisen and Brownstein are the Israelite spies who report back that it's also full of giant assholes."
		James Poniewozik Time	"'Portlandia' is not to everyone’s taste, but it’s an eccentric, surprising little microbrew of a show."
		David Wiegand SFGATE	"Despite the fact that 'Portlandia' features different sketches in each episode, the show already begins to feel like a stretch by the second show. Still, it has its moments"
		Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"The leads have a lovely, light way with one another (...) and as an actress, Brownstein is ... a really good actress."
