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 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. Jan 5, 2012 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… Phillip Maciak Slant Magazine 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 View All Critic Reviews (7) Audience Reviews for Portlandia: Season 2 Jan 09, 2015 No sophomore curse for "Portlandia": It's still laugh-out-loud funny, and watching Fred and Carrie play off each other is becoming more and more pleasurable as Brownstein's improv skills improve.
