ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Steineded How sad is this?
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Tomorrow437 When I finally got around to checking this show out I was so excited that I had a few seasons to watch all at once... It is a very simplistic and dry approach to sketch comedy that you may not laugh out loud at constantly but it will for sure leave you smiling... I wish it would not be ending and could go on forever...
pacomontoya Came as a recommendation from a close friend, so I was really going to dive in and give it a shot. I got through about 4 or 5 episodes and couldn't go on anymore. Total honesty, I don't think I laughed once. It wasn't funny for me, and I think the fact that I can not stand people that are like this in real life probably played a part in that. But like anything else in the ARTS, to each their own, this is just my simple opinion.
fistamamanbush One of those safe shows you hear everyone raving about. I gave this several chances, as I wondered what I was missing. All of the gags are DOA, I've never once even smirked at this safe pablum. I think the popularity of this God awful show is that everything safe, and all the humor, if you can call it that, is aimed at millennials. The jokes are based on observational humor specifically hipster culture in portland, which is just hipster culture. The problem is that all all the gags are nerfed, there isn't a single biting, or sharp observation in this show. Every single "jab" at these hipster conventions is gentle and designed for the hipsters to laugh at, because they are in on the joke. Also, all the targets are stereotypes so broad, this show needn't take place in Portland as all the jokes are totally generic, and run for far too long. This show feels like SNL - lame sketches that overstay their welcome. Jesus they did an ENTIRE episode about a bit where a lady didn't want to eat Tsukemen a certain way and the noodles came to life in a painfully tedious and unfunny episode length sketch that should have lasted 3 minutes at most. This show is just bizzzzaaaad.
itmanager Just from the commercials alone I really didn't want to watch this. However, I decided to give it at least a good try. I ATTEMPTED to watch several different episodes but could not stomach the stupidity and lack of acting talent. This is probably the most awful show to ever grace the TV screen. Not only does it have very bad acting the whole idea of the show is just comedy gone wrong. I'd really rather watch old Charlie Chaplin silent movies, at least I'd get some laughs.I did my best to find something funny in Portandia but everything I watched seemed more like someone took all the cut scenes from the floor and pasted them into a nightmare. The show just goes way beyond ridiculous.If IFC has some wise people running their network then they'd drop Portlandia like a hot rock.
