Portlandia is one of television's most underrated shows because the jokes and set pieces can be so bizarre that the dialogue almost becomes another language, like the script was sent from another planet.
The show has delved deeper into its rich stock of characters, mostly played by Armisen and Brownstein.
Portlandia took us by surprise with this episode-in a good way-by shaking up the formula. Hopefully, this great first episode bodes well for the rest of Season Five.
The humor is broader and funnier in this half-hour that also delivers some surprising plot twists while acknowledging their "logic problems."
Given the strength of the pairings they've set up over the last few years, there's enough material to power a season that may live up to its loftiest reputation.
Writers Armisen, Brownstein, Krisel, Karey Dornetto and Graham Wagner have taken the single-subject approach and made two episodes that are consistently clever, involving and funny.
