The final episode of Camping should have brought some sense of...something, anything...to the viewer: closure, understanding, entertainment at the very least. Unfortunately, the only feeling left for those of us masochistic enough to watch all eight episodes of this season is a sense of waste: wasted talent on screen, wasted opportunities in the script and story arcs, and our own wasted time.
It's not just that the ending is dissatisfying, it's that those characters that were sympathetic are given little to no positive resolution, those that deserve cinematic punishment get a free pass, and the queen of manipulation ends up triumphant on her throne and poised claim her next victim. Why exactly did we watch this series? Only Harry is given an epidodic ending with any promise (but, alas, it is likely to be short lived).
This whole series could have been so much more.
