Angry Boys

Best ever. Bottom line. Everyone missed the point..

What i love about all of Chris's shows is that they are enhanced by watching the other shows. Summer heights high is better after watching We can be heroes etc.

With angry boys you can see Liley, using the trust of the TV station and money to full extent. The series begins with 2 story lines. Gran and Nathan and Daniel (we can be heroes). and it starts of quite small but completely brilliantly, with the same charm of SHH and WCBH. Then after 1 it just gets better and better. They are 6 episodes so far, each more epic than the last.

A must see, especially for Lilly's fans i can see this turning into Lilly's masterpiece as we have a 12 episode series.

I, like some other reviewers, stumbled upon this little diamond by accident.

Although it is not a new format (mockumentary) Chris Lilly presents us with believable characters that we can learn to "love to cringe" with!

Great fun and with story-lines that usually interlink at some point.

It is clever but with a splash of total silyness but stories that leave you wanting more.

I feel I know the characters already and know this will run and run.

Even though I am from the UK, I have met most of them in one form or another.

Well done Chris!

So, I often run out of TV to watch and I enjoy acting and especially comedy. When I first watched "It's always Sunny in Philadelphia," I thought it sucked, now its my favorite. This show is one of those. You won't like it at first because you really don't get it, but if you give it a chance you will love it. It like always sunny, is a show that will spread through word of mouth, so HBO give it some time. It progressively got better. The chocolate-face aka Smouse was a great idea, not to many people paint themselves black and it's funny, and his remarks are priceless..."My new album" and so on. The chinawoman also great. Gram is however the best character, you almost feel like she is a real granny lol. If you have yet to give this show a chance go 4 episodes deep and you'll start to get into it. It is silly, but shows potential for another good HBO comedy so hopefully they'll get a 2nd season. I reckon it will do well mate!

Where Summer Heights High contained heart, nuance and characters you loved and pulled for (while cringing at them at the same time) this contains very little of that. Sad to say. I think this guy has shown flashes of genius, but in Angry Boys, Lilley seems to settle for shock value over strong and deep characters. Granted, I've only watched two episodes, but where We Can be Heroes and Summer Heights High seemed to jump off the screen with honesty and made one truly feel for Jonah, Jaime and Mr. G--Angry Boys grabs a tiny laugh here and there and doesn't lead anywhere except towards base and juvenile. Maybe this is what Chris was going for, but I have to say that--he is capable of better than this.
