Synopsis

Portlandia Season 5 — watch online on iFILM, ten episodes from 2015 that dig into character history more than any previous season.

The premiere flashes back to 1991: a younger Toni and Candace working rival desks at a corporate bookstore, shoulder pads and mutual contempt included. The eco-terrorists travel to San Diego to confront SeaWorld. Doug discovers he is a male feminist. Sandra takes a rideshare for the first time and treats it like a survival situation. Fred and Carrie get displaced when their landlord moves into the apartment. The finale has police profiling Portland's weirdos after someone burns a taxidermy shop to the ground.

Season 5 is not a good entry point — start from the beginning. But for viewers who've followed these characters since season one, it's the most rewarding run of episodes the show produced. Stream Portlandia Season 5 all episodes online on iFILM.
