This show is hilarious. Every single character is gold.
At first I was like blah wtf, same guy playing different roles, probably lame. I had no idea who Chris Lilley was.
After 2 episodes I'm loving this show. God I hope it gets another season and doesn't get canned.
Has he done anything else worth checking out?
As a Chris Lilley fan, I'm quite disappointed by this show, especially since I am judging it against his past shows. I would seek out his previous shows, especially Summer Heights High which is the show that projected him onto a worldwide platform; it's unbelievably hilarious.
shareyes it is, I already finished Australian of the year and I'm halfway through SHH, it really is a great show.
Angry boys is more aimless than the others, less of a storyline but I still really like it.
I think this show is far superior to Summer Heights High, which was often a little one-note imo (dont get me wrong though, I did love SHH) ..
Angry Boys builds and builds and takes you to very unexpected places - and then when you arrive at these 'unexpected places', something even more unexpected usually happens !
It is far bigger in scope and ambition than SHH; some of the issues and themes Lilley examines are only just starting to emerge 7 episodes in.
Phone's ringin' Dude ...
I never really got into SHH when it was on TV but I loved Angry Boys from the 1st episode.
I've started watching SHH again and I must admit I do appreciate it a lot more now I've seen Angry Boys but I still thing Angry Boys is better.
Just my opinion though.
