6/10
It's good to be back, even if it's for hour (or four)

Warning: Spoilers
Two summers back, Michael Showalter and David Wain did something unimaginable by resurrecting a cult classic into a prequel TV series that managed to capture the spirit of its successor. This time around the song remains the same. Every character comes back (except Bradley Cooper) to some extent and the duos writing chops thrive on this limited source of talent. Having a convoluted story does help fit everyone in organically which is why the Bush and Clinton cameos make sense (somehow?). Compared to the "First Day of Camp", the inclusion of new characters (Mark Feuerstein and Sarah Burns) at times bloated the four-hour run time as J.J.'s story line was given greater importance. Other than that it was great to see a universe full of characters still have a story to tell and enrich the lore of Camp Firewood. With a storybook ending, it's safe to say the world of Maine summer camps left at the right time. Walla-Walla-Hey!
