'Camping' co-creator Jenni Konner states that the show is tonally similar to 'Girls'

Just like 'Girls', 'Camping' also received several criticisms for its 'unlikable' protagonists, however, there are reasons for that.

There have been speculations about HBO's 'Camping' being very much similar to Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner's former show, 'Girls.' While that might be true considering the female character sketching and the kind of traits that have been drawn on them, Dunham and Konner's latest show 'Camping' is a far cry from the creators' previous show. However, there are still some extremely striking similarities between the two shows. 

Co-creator, Jenni Konner, who recently ended her eight years of production partnership with Dunham, explained that the two shows are tonally extremely similar. 'Girls' was a millennial coming-of-age story about Hannah (played by Dunham) and her group of friends who don't quite seem to be friends in the first look. While the show was overtly criticized for not upholding the strong bond between women as it had apparently promised to do, it did give out a prominent message signifying that a girl-on-girl squabble can get just as ugly as a boy-on-boy fight.
