The following sentence is from today's (2021/08/07) Economist daily espresso.
“Reservation Dogs”, a television series which has its premiere on Monday, focuses on four native American teenagers in Oklahoma. In a bid to get to California, the gang get into various misadventures, including a string of petty thefts and a fierce paintball war with a rival “Indian mafia”. It is a funnier portrayal of native-American life than audiences may be used to.
In order to fully understand the last sentence's grammatic structure, I think that "the portrayal" is omitted after than:
It is a funnier portrayal of native-American life than the portrayal audiences may be used to.
Question: Is my interpretation reasonable. If so, is it acceptable on GMAT to omit "the portrayal"?
Is there an alternative / better analysis?
generis
Thanks!
