Review of Camp

Camp (2013)
7/10
Sudsy teen soap deserved renewal
2 October 2013
It's about a little summer camp run by Mack Granger (Rachel Griffiths). It's a quaint place where people return year after year, and no cell phone is allowed.

If there is one problem, it's the lack of diversity. It's understandable since this is filmed in Australia, but they really need to try harder. The show is a full of hormonal kids and hormonal Rachel Griffiths. It's a sudsy soap and it works great on that level. The acting is first rate from Griffiths as usual, and also the lead Tom Green.

This was an NBC summer replacement show, and got canceled after only 1 season of 10 episodes. It had passable ratings for a summer show 0.8 in 18-49 for the final episode. By comparison 'Crossing Lines' got a 0.4 in their final episode on the same network. Chances are the different production structure saved 'Crossing Lines' and got 'Camp' canceled. It's a shame. This show deserves another chance more than 'Crossing Lines'.
