AVClub: As it enters its sixth season, Portlandia finds itself in an interesting place. IFC announced a few months ago that the show would be coming to an end, but that it wouldn’t be doing so until the end of season eight, giving Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein, and Jonathan Krisel three more years to play around in the odd little sandbox they’ve constructed. It’s a smart move on the network’s part to lock down this talent (given the various other projects its creative team is busy with) and it puts the show in the position of having an end far off in sight but still in sight. Would it decide to push even more boundaries with guaranteed seasons, or will episodes be phoned in with rehashed sketches?
Ashley Madison-Sex Lies and Scandal Review: The documentary refuses to take a stand on whether or not it wants us to feel bad for cheaters, infuriating viewers with its wishy washy attitude.
Outer Range Season 2 Review: This season is as insane and slow as the last part and doesn't attempt to answer any questions, while adding on to those of the last one.
Monster Review: While this film delivers elements of horror and thriller, they're only sporadically effective, leaving the overall experience falling short of expectations.
