Portlandia
Portlandia, the sketch-comedy series on IFC and Netflix, takes a poke at life like no one has before. Trust me; you haven’t seen a show like it.
Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein star as a multitude of characters, recurring and not, in fast-pace sketches snapshotting the quirkiness of Portland, Oregon as perfect as can be. From long-haired librarians to punk bicyclists, light bulb manufacturers, or just a variety of odd couples, Armisen and Brownstein bottle the funk of Portland in its pristine essence. “Keep Portland Weird!” is a common expression used in the town, and the TV show is no exception.
