Camping

America's take on British humour never ends well, stick to the original if you want something that is funny

First off I did genuinely laugh at least once while watching the pilot, which is more than I can say for the reboot of Murphy Brown or The Conners. Because of that I will give it a chance despite being neither a Lena Dunham or Jennifer Garner fan. Have to say, Garner nails the uptight, control freak role.

Surprised at the writing and how the characters interact with one another. People simply don't talk this way to one another so it's not at all funny, just awkward. It's only 30 mins so will see if it gets any better.

So apparently a lot of people didn't like this series? I wasn't one of those people. I couldn't stop laughing. It was unlike other comedic series I've seen, and I appreciated the high level of dysfunction amongst these 4 (RIDICULOUS) couples who are on weekend birthday camping trip.

Was Jennifer Garner's character unlikeable? YES, in most ways she was. But it's in the most delicious way where you constantly go WTF. But Garner's full commitment to her character makes her a joy to watch.

Juliette Lewis is a hilarious breath of fresh air with some of the best dialogue in the series and the perfect delivery to make you believe every word coming out of her mouth. If you like dysfunctional people dramedies and you have an open mind, check this series out.

Holy hell people don't like this show! So glad I just watched it before reading anything about it because I thought it was pretty darn funny and interesting.

It's only 28 mins, so give it a try.
