'Camping' co-creator Lena Dunham loves to write about "complicated women"
Lena Dunham goes into everything thinking that no one will like her work, and quite naturally the former 'Girls' co-creator did not receive many positive reviews for her latest show 'Camping' which premiered on HBO on October 14. However, that is not something that could interrupt Dunham in her quest to create some unconventional characters who are just as real (might be rare) as the conventional ones.
Starring Jennifer Garner and David Tennant, 'Camping' follows the story of a group of couples who are gathered by the obsessively controlling Kathryn (Garner), who has planned the weekend camping trip for her husband Walt's (Tennant) 45th birthday. After the release of the first episode, one thing that has been clear is that Dunham has yet again created a protagonist with whom it is difficult to relate to and who does not fit into the conventional pattern of lead characters. However, that might just be the very charm of the show and Dunham has mentioned, during an interview with IndieWire that even when she had created Hannah (the protagonist for 'Girls') people had a tough time getting used to her.
