I finished the first episode because I love David Tennant, Jennifer Garner & Juliette Lewis, but I only made it about 15 minutes into the second episode. I really wanted to shut it off after 5, but I kept hoping it would get better. It just got worse.
To show just how ridiculous it is, the adults are playing tag football, and she makes him wear a football helmet to WATCH. He gets accidentally knocked over (not "roughed up), she rushes him to the ER and demands a full body MRI. Then she goes into her Münchausen syndrome routine. Funny stuff, right?! (Insert eye roll here)
That was the end for me. Literally the most unfunny comedy show I've seen in a while. (altho Jim Carrey's "Kidding" is a close second).

Embarrassing Bad
GunnersMate22 October 2018
The second offering of Camping is embarrassingly bad. Plain and simple.
The episode brings us Kathryn and Walt taking their son to the emergency room while their relatives indulge at a local bar in town. The unnecessarily foul language, the poor script, the wooden acting, the unlikeable character behavior, and the vile and unpleasant sex (and discussion about it) all contribute to an unfunny and uninteresting use of 30 minutes.
It's a shame really; David Tennant, Bridget Everett, and Janicza Bravo are the only bright or even mildly interesting elements to this episode, but even they cannot pull it from the fouled muck that Going to Town presents.
