The transition from web series to half-hour episodes makes for some awkward pacing, as a single episode blasts through three or four different comic setups and lacks the typical thematic structure of episodic television. Nonetheless, Backpackers generates effective momentum through recurring characters and increasingly heightened situations.

I watched this show when it was a series of online webisodes and boy was it thin. It's a little bit hard for me to believe that they brought it to network television. Picture the first 15 or 20 minutes of any Hostel movie and then take out all the horror and you have backpackers.

This show is terrible, it's like Eurotrip and Roadtrip but worse. Also, is it just me or is the sound off? The music is really loud and drowns out the dialogue. It's like they were trying to mask how bad the dialogue is!
