HBO's Sally4Ever is as squirmy, if not squirmier, than Ricky Gervais' The Office

Forbes

The British comedy from Julia Davis, whose Camping inspired the recent Lena Dunham-Jenni Konner HBO remake, will test you when it comes to its squirm factor, says Jen Chaney. "In one way or another, everyone on Sally4Ever is unhinged," she says. "If you think you can handle that cringe humor and plan to watch, just make sure you have plenty of elbow room. Trust me, you’ll need plenty of space to do all that inevitable squirming."
