Season 2 Ratings & Reviews
Boston Globe
Sarah Rodman
Portlandia can be howlingly funny when it hits its targets head-on and adds an element of surprise.
CinemaBlend
Jesse Carp
Before expanding on the surprisingly awesome, albeit few, special features, it's worth noting some of the excellent individual sketches and awesome guest spots littered throughout Portlandia Season 2.
HuffPost
Maureen Ryan
Portlandia has matured into a comedic concoction that is consistently pleasing.
Washington Post
Hank Stuever
The show seems markedly improved from its earlier efforts and somehow more confident in its writing and sense of nuance. It's also funnier.
Slant Magazine
Phillip Maciak
Portlandia has become the Sleater-Kinney of comedy.
AV Club
Christian Williams
It's a pleasant surprise that a show as seemingly twee and niche as Portlandia could become IFC's highest rated program.
Oregonian
Kristi Turnquist
And so ends what I consider an overall much-improved Season 2. I have a feeling it won't be long until we hear that IFC has plans for Season 3.
