Camping seems to be fixated on showcasing people behaving badly - whether on their own or due to outside influence - without necessarily having a larger point to make.
Camping might be more accurately called "Glamping," but hoo boy is there even more evidence for just how lost HBO's adaptation of Julia Davis' British series gets.
It just wants to make everybody as miserable as possible, while attempting to squeeze in a few laughs... Unfortunately for Dunham and Konner, their latest attempt to enter this dramedy pantheon falls flat.
"Camping" delivers an annoying character who is anything but amusing. She made me cringe, yes, but only because I couldn't wait to get away from her to go do my laundry and wash the dishes.
Camping all in all is less fun than waves of dive-bombing mosquitoes. Hell, even a good ol' baked bean-infused fart-fest around the campfire would be a welcome diversion.
The series is grating -- the TV viewing equivalent of nails on a chalkboard. The worst part of all of this is that it's Garner's first regular TV role since Alias ended. Maybe SD-6 is behind the whole thing.
