As if watching the first episode wasn’t enough to get you psyched for the Portlandia season starting Friday, Carrie Brownstein gives great descriptions to go along with this collection of behind-the-scenes photos. “There’s a certain wildness to season one that we tried to carry over to season two, but I think season two feels more cohesive overall. The show is coming into its own,†she says. Descriptions aside, the props and costumes in these photos alone - an anti-gravity machine, a hefty side-braid, a coconut S+M collar - promise that this season will be worth watching.
