After binging her short but absolutely incredible sitcom 'Nighty Night' (some of the darkest and most fucked up comedy I have ever seen) I knew Julia Davis was a force to be reckoned with and wanted to see more of her bizarre creations, so 'Camping' seemed like a good place to go next.

Like 'Nighty Night' this is a British sitcom that seriously makes you question how far something can go and still be considered "comedy".
I'd actually argue that 'Camping' turns into a full-blown horror movie by the last two episodes, but everything before that is just as hard to watch.
The slow deterioration that takes place over the six episodes was a unique mix of testing the limits…

I mean... what the fuck. This went directions rarely seen in comedy, and made me almost pull my hair out. But in a funny way, of course. Ha...Ha...

Julia Davis is comedy royalty and should be treated as such.

I’ve just finished watching Nighty Night for the first time and I absolutely loved it, so I wanted to watch more of Julia Davis’ work. I enjoyed Camping, but the delightful depravity seen in the fifth and sixth episodes isn’t matched in the first four.

I can’t say I was bored by the build up, but apart from a few select moments I didn’t find it laugh out loud funny. I was tempted to rate this half a star lower but I loved how dark it got in the last two episodes.

Was not aware that one of my favourite of Chris Morris's Jam gang, Julia Davis has some of that absurdist comedy in her. This is her Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Ennio Morricone bit was mind blowing hahaha. Even when it loses some of that absurdist comedy in the middle, it turns in to just being a great British comedy series. So that's hardly a criticism is it? Fully recovers it for the wild last 2 episodes just when you thought it was getting too tame. Literally everyone gets their moment in that final episode of pure chaos. Incredible. And I thought my camping adventures had been heavy. I will have to check out Nighty Night.

Shamelessly going to rate this a 5/5 (I wish I could put on more) Julia Davis, the woman you are! Taking dark comedy to the extreme, it was so tense but I could not take my eyes off of it. 

I will never see Steve Pemberton the same..

I've been watching a bunch of Julia Davis sitcoms recently, based on her performances being my favourite part of Chris Morris' Jam, and everytime I laugh at one I feel like it's making me into a worse person. having seen Nighty Night and Sally4Ever (the latter at least should be on Letterboxd if this is) I think this one doesn't go quite as far on the repulsion front despite the effort the final episode puts in (S2E4 of Nighty Night might literally be the most disgusting thing ever aired on British TV), but it does have the most believable interactions of the three, as absurdist as it still is. no family camping trip as a kid was quite like this,…
