I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Dreadfully Boring

A Brilliant Conflict

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

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!

There have been great comedians who have been masters of disguise and costume,in order to make us laugh and laugh at ourselves. Robin Williams as 'Mrs. Doubtfire', Eddie Murphy as 'The Nutty Professor' and so on. Unfortunately Chris Lilley doesn't fall in that category at all. I have a great sense of humor when it comes to sex,race,religion and all other stereotypes but there is a difference in teasing or making fun of something, compared to just straight out being degrading or offensive. For example the Chris Lilley dressing in black face for the character called "s.mouse".The character is suppose to be a rapper who acts like a idiotic, fool, who one day decides to take a dump on a cop car to show how much of a gangster he really is. The episode continues on where "nathan" (deaf white twin of Daniel) does the same thing. Playing on the premise that the s.mouse influenced him to commit this act. Now I don't know anything about Australia but I know a minstrel show when I see one and what Chris Lilley is doing is a minstrel show. After the U.S.civil war, minstrel shows consisted of comic skits, dancing, and music, performed by white people in black face to caricature black people as dim-witted, lazy, buffoonish, and musical. Whats next Chris Lilley? I got an idea, next season he should have his offensive character s.mouse come over to Daniel and Nathan's farm for a good ol' fashion cotton picking and whip-lashing. And Nathan, Dan and their mom whom they live with, can call s.mouse "field n....r" all day long. By the way, its not o k that Chris Lilley says the "n" word just because he's in black face. It seems to me Chris Lilley humor is about making light of second class citizens situation in the world which still exists today. The foolish character "s.mouse" and the manipulative asain character "Jen" are no different than the stereotypes on the radio show Amos and Andy back in the 1930's. And for the record, yes I am an African American with a very good sense of humor. But I don't think Chris Lilley would find it humorous if others made the joke that his gene pool is from a prison colony.

As a longtime fan of Chris Lilley's work (I loved We Can Be Heroes and Summer Heights High for their satirical social commentary on Australian society) I was eagerly anticipating his 3rd series, Angry Boys. After 4 long years of patiently waiting, what I got instead was nothing but a crude and lowbrow toilet humour filled series completely devoid of what made Chris Lilley so funny in the first place.None of the characters have any likable, redeeming qualities, except for maybe Gran. The Dunt twins Daniel and Nathan Sims from We Can Be Heroes are no longer the funny teenagers we originally loved. Instead, they're just foul-mouthed, vile and gross. Normally I don't mind this style of humour if it has a point behind it but here it's just pointless and doesn't add up to anything. Their grandmother, Ruth "Gran" Sims is just as foul-mouthed as her grandsons but she is slightly more likable than the rest of the characters due to her job of being a prison officer at a juvenile hall, where she acts as a mother figure to the young inmates. Blake Oakfield, a surfer and a member of a Bra Boys-esque gang, is just plain boring. Every time one of his segments finished, I failed to even remember any remotely humorous or memorable moment from them. But perhaps the worst characters of all were S.Mouse and Jen Okazaki. S.Mouse is supposed to be a pop rapper from Los Angeles, California but Chris Lilley clearly lacks the knowledge of any Rap/Hip-Hop culture and has just seemingly based S.Mouse on some Soulja Boy style music videos he's seen on Channel V years ago. All of S.Mouse's jokes fall flat and make you cringe (not in the humorous way intended though). Jen Okazaki, a Japanese mother of her skateboarding son, has all of her segments based around a single one-joke premise; Her son is a gay skateboarder (even though in reality he is straight) and she is reaping the benefits of it whether he likes it or not. While at first this is mildly amusing, this premise is drawn out over 12 episodes and it gets so annoying and unfunny that by the end of it you just don't care for it anymore. In conclusion, Angry Boys is a big disappointment from the once hilarious Chris Lilley. It had so much potential to be just as hilarious as his previous two series but it is neither memorable nor interesting. If you want to see Chris Lilley at his best, pop in the DVD of We Can Be Heroes or Summer Heights High. But if you want to see him at his worst, just watch Angry Boys to see what I mean.

When I first hear about this show from a friend, I didn't really care much for it, I thought just another comedy show, but I was very wrong, when I watched the first episode on BBC iPlayer I was absolutely blown away,it was a very funny show, but yet very realistic, the comedy is not over the top, the characters are fantastic and very well played, and the last few episodes show that the show can be very emotional, I had never heard of Chris Liley before this show, and as I looked him up on IMDb he seems to be quite famous in Australia, I will have to look up some more of his work overall 10 out 10, a very good show and I hope there are more series to come!
