Critic Reviews for Portlandia Season 4
All Critics (6) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (0)
I've always appreciated the way the show doesn't so much skewer modern society as poke at it from odd angles.
Armisen and Brownstein's ambition is on display in a fourth season that enriches the show's world by allowing the supporting characters to carry more of the show than before.
For a much richer comedy, hop over to Portlandia..
In its fourth season, Portlandia's peculiar self-awareness continues to be its greatest strength.
When the sketches hit their marks, the results aren't just comedy, but pretty good social commentary, too.
If there's anything quantifiably different about this season, it's the confidence of Armisen and Brownstein, now assured that there's mileage in their concept and an audience for it.

Jan 09, 2015Now more comfortable with a longer season, Fred and Carrie continue to amaze with the creativity and snappiness of their humor and the growth of their zany Portland universe.

Sep 02, 2014PORTLANDIA I have seen all episodes in the 4 seasons so far of this and I am really looking forward to seeing the third season. His is a skit comedy show and there are several running characters and actors in it, but its mostly Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein. I mean they are in every skit and they are the creators and writers. I love their running characters like the two hard core lesbian book store owners and the two people who work for the mayor played by Kyle McLaughlin, who is a real odd-ball in. The skits are so witty, like the one where they go to a movie theater and have to go up a million escalators before they get to their ironic movie and when the town council gets together to name a street and they cant make up their mind, so they just name the street all the names they come up with and the sign is several feet long. Taking out party loans, to all the power in Portland going out because the government didnt pay the electrical bill. The banter back and forth between the characters makes for some true genius comedy. They argue over how many magazine theyve read and how many people they know. There are a couple of skits guest starring Jeff Goldbloom which are just my favorites. I think the Knot Store skit may be one of the funniest things ever. You have to check out this show. You will laugh your butt off.

Jul 20, 2014Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are quirky and some will not respect their humor, but, for those who do, this show is one to look forward to.
