Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) 05/30/2024
4/5
The best travelogue on TV took on a more serious edge... Go to Full Review
Rachel Aroesti Guardian 05/29/2024
2/5
The overall package is upbeat and diverting, but also rather hollow. Camden may well be a musically miraculous place, but here, the source of its magic remains a mystery. Go to Full Review
Martin Robinson London Evening Standard 05/28/2024
4/5
The series has a tendency to veer into a hagiography of Camden and misses out on hitting truly classic documentary territory. That said, it is a very entertaining ride through the living memory of the area. Go to Full Review
Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) 06/04/2024
2/5
However, the talking heads all seem to have been asked to mainly talk about themselves, resulting in much tedious self-aggrandising that’s often only spuriously connected to Camden. Go to Full Review

6/10
The entire thing could have been told in a tight and easy to grasp two hours and could have used a lot more grit and grime to ground Camden in authenticity. Still, there is plenty to learn from Camden, albeit in a CliffsNotes version. Go to Full Review
Joel Keller Decider 05/29/2024
Where the doc really shines is when we hear from people like Suggs from Madness, who was the first band to make a name for themselves while playing The Dublin Castle. Go to Full Review

Episodes

Episode 1 Aired May 29, 2024 Made in Camden Amy Winehouse, Dua Lipa, Coldplay and Madness all have something in common: their musical journeys all started in Camden, the gritty bohemian corner of North London where live music spills out from pubs and clubs crammed into a handful of streets. Details Episode 2 Aired May 29, 2024 Rebels and Misfits The original rebel icons The Clash were the first to put Camden on the map; now decades later Noel Gallagher made Camden his home confirming his status as a rock and roll star; The Libertines also moved in and started throwing guerrilla gigs from their Camden bedsit attracting misfits and mayhem; today, Yungblud and Bob Vylan play sell out shows at the Electric Ballroom bringing their unique messages of rebellion to a new generation in Camden. Details Episode 3 Aired May 29, 2024 Pioneers In the 90s US hip hop artists came to Camden in search of creative freedom: from The Roots to The Black Eyed Peas and the legendary Chuck D, each of them forged a love for Camden's alternative music scene and Camden embraced their unconvential sound and style: for five life changing years, Oscar winning Questlove made Camden his home, returning to the US as a fully fledged hip hop star; Jazzie B and Soul II Soul brought Camden-bred creativity to the US and the world. Details Episode 4 Aired May 29, 2024 Freedom to Party Dua Lipa looks at how her hometown Camden has shaped club culture, with help from Carl Cox, Nile Rodgers, Boy George, Norman Jay, Sister Bliss, Eliza Rose and Madonna; they tell how the fight against homophobia and racism broke down tribal barriers in music and fashion, creating spaces where anyone can be who they want to be, and when these spaces collided with the birth of electronic music, the torch was lit for the UK's love of raving and club culture.
