Camp

I caught the first one of these and was skeptical as we don't have things like camp in the UK. So I thought id watch it just to get an insight of American summer holidays. (away from spring break). I thought it was for children but was pleasantly surprised that it was a family show with lots of adult themes, coming of age and relationships. This is a must for anyone who like the feel good factor and the normal every days struggles in life even in holiday season. The characters really pull you into there personality's and make you feel what they are experiencing. The whole feel of the show is a lovely joyful experience and one i am glad to be able top watch due to the wonder of the internet. Well done guys.

I think it's a great show I look forward to watching it every Sunday. it's funny and it shows what camps can be like. I love it and as always Rachael Griffith does a great job. I love anything she stars in, she's one of our great Aussie actresses. The show is just showing what kids really get up to at camps and to me they are having fun. I wish we had camps like this in Australia. And it's great to see so many Aussie actors in the one American show. It's just a shame it wasn't given a real chance. At least it does beat all the reruns of my house rules or a movie we've seen over and over again. Its a show that let's us see kids growing and becoming themselves away from schools. I think it's a fun show.

Camp takes classic motifs and life lessons and gives it a modern twist and a hint of sarcasm and comedy. I was especially surprised at myself that I became such a fan of a show like this and yet I can't get enough. Creating the setting based around a family summer camp was ingenious, kind of an escape from the overused hospital or police station backgrounds. The unknowns that make up the teen actors, like Thom Green, Tim Pocock, Dena Kaplan, Lily Sullivan, Charlotte Nicdao, and Charles Grounds, each give their all by showing intense acting talent, both funny and dramatic. I always look forward to the next episode and I desperately hope that this well-written and inspiring show gets renewed by NBCUniversal next season.

I wish this series had a chance to live more. It takes a while sometimes for certain series to take off, and this is one of them. We need a good camp TV series out there, there would be a lot of camp people that would enjoy it. This was a good effort.

As with everything else strange and wonderful that is happening in media these days -- remember, the History Channel just did a 6 hour movie starring Kevin Costner and it was brilliant -- you need context. And the context is that TV has seen more changes in the last 5 years than in the last 50. Literally. As all the various types of media compete for that most-coveted incremental viewer (who can then be parlayed into the even-more-coveted advertising sponsor), the Rule Book goes out the window, and so does even a pretence of censorship. As I write this I see that the Muses who rule TV are even promising a fall 2013 series based on the story of the Headless Horseman. Won't THAT be special? In other words, this year it appears we have all opted for the Red Pill and have entered an era of TV which knows no bounds, obeys no conventions, and where anything - literally anything - can be repackaged and re tasked into a series. IN THIS CONTEXT, it becomes clear that here the writers and producers have taken every camp movie ever done (good or bad, who cares), tossed them all into the proverbial blender, chosen a production setting so remote and obscure that (possibly) the Australian Tourist Bureau PAID THEM to shoot there, and took a chance that someone might like it. For this reviewer, the series has a kind of wacky energy which is engaging, and the actors all seem to be using this exercise as some of sort of springboard to better parts and better days. I suppose this is where I am supposed to say how terrible it is, but the fact is that Rachel Griffiths is good in almost everything she does, and the hyper-kinetic feel of the show offers a strange attraction. Bottom line, not as bad as the critics say, not as good the network was hoping. Better than reruns of HAVE GUN WILL TRAVEL.
