Portlandia (2011)
Painful to watch, and I'm from Portland
Portland is a unique place, to say the least. When this show first started, I had hoped for a show that captured the vibrancy of the NW. The show does touch on topics of interest from the area. People raising chickens in town...the love of micro brews...the music scene.
Unfortunately, it is just painful to try and watch!
Think of SNL. They often have just a couple of skits that make you laugh. The rest are just failing attempts. Portlandia feels as if they swept up SNL's leftovers that fell on the floor, changed to a Portland theme, and then tossed it at us. I truly hope that this show will end some day soon! It would also be great, if they could tell the viewers that this is TV and not real. It is amazing, how many people move here because of the show??? Maybe, they should do an episode about the brutally high rent, lack of jobs, 7 1/2 months of rain and the increasing dis like of hipsters by the city.
I have yet to laugh at this show, or be able to make it through a complete episode. Thumbs down!
