Review

very short and very offbeat season. i hope they’re all like this. it’s basically a series of skits with fred armisen and carrie brownstein as the central characters. both are funny and the skits are perfectly written for their talents. it’s very off the wall so it’s not for everyone, but if you like subversive comedy that makes fun of hippies and hipsters, then this is good one.

portland is its own character and it’s a good choice because it has elements of the seattle hipsters and the berkeley/san francisco hippies. as the name suggests the series is about the idea of portland and the unique culture the city has. fun show so far.
