This past Sunday, I spent approximately twelve hours binge watching Portlandia on Netflix, and it was life changing. Here a several reasons why you should finish this article and then immediately log in to Netflix and be amazed:

1. The acting is genius.

While the show is scripted, most episodes are heavily improvised. Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein are incredibly talented writers, actors, and comedians.

2. The show is entirely short comedic sketches.

Many of the characters acted out by Fred and Carrie are reintroduced in multiple episodes, along with entirely new characters in new sketches. The actors play different genders, sexual orientations, backgrounds, and lifestyles.

3. The wardrobe.

Every character played by Carrie and Fred are decked out in amazing clothes related to their character's lifestyle.

4. Societal objections.

Each sketch discusses societal issues humorously. Many times the represented issues are mocked, but done so charmingly that it is powerful rather than offensive.

5. We're all thinking it.

The sketches all take place in very normal locations that are relatable and realistic. The dialogue is generally over the top and at times obnoxious, because the characters' commentary is typically thoughts that most of us have but never express.

6. Guest appearances.

Throughout the five seasons, many actors and comedians have guest roles. Guests include Kirsten Dunst, Voodoo Donuts, Olivia Wilde, Jason Sudeikis, Chloë Sevigney, Sarah McLachlan, and many others.

7. Portland.

While I have never been to Portland, I believe it is the most magical place and I will be moving there as soon as possible. Between the overall good vibes and the liberal views of the residents, it is ideal for any hippie-loving human.
