More Critic Reviews for Portlandia Season 2 All Critics (7) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (7) | Rotten (0) Portlandia can be howlingly funny when it hits its targets head-on and adds an element of surprise. Jan 6, 2012 | Full Review… Sarah Rodman Boston Globe Top Critic Before expanding on the surprisingly awesome, albeit few, special features, it's worth noting some of the excellent individual sketches and awesome guest spots littered throughout Portlandia Season 2. Feb 13, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Jesse Carp CinemaBlend And so ends what I consider an overall much-improved Season 2. I have a feeling it won't be long until we hear that IFC has plans for Season 3. Mar 10, 2012 | Full Review… Kristi Turnquist Oregonian Portlandia has matured into a comedic concoction that is consistently pleasing. Jan 6, 2012 | Full Review… Maureen Ryan Huffington Post It's a pleasant surprise that a show as seemingly twee and niche as Portlandia could become IFC's highest rated program. Jan 6, 2012 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Christian Williams AV Club Top Critic The show seems markedly improved from its earlier efforts and somehow more confident in its writing and sense of nuance. It's also funnier. Jan 5, 2012 | Full Review… Hank Stuever Washington Post Top Critic Portlandia has become the Sleater-Kinney of comedy.
