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!

Angry Boys is a hugely ambitious new series from Chris Lilley – and one that I feel has been misunderstood by some viewers. While not as consistently funny as his previous shows, I found this to be the most engaging – with well drawn characters who you grow to care about more and more as the series progresses. Even though there were only a handful of hilarious moments per episode, I still felt that the series was solidly entertaining – incorporating moments of obscurity, profanity, profundity and tragedy – but while also managing to be funny and uplifting.Some have criticised the amount of characters that Lilley brings to the screen in this series, but I never considered this aspect of the show to be excessive. Across 12 episodes, 6 characters felt like the right amount – and not every character is featured in every episode. Furthermore, the plots were often interwoven – both physically and thematically. Others have criticised the appearance of the characters – suggesting that they are not believable, or that they look too much like Lilley. However, this was never an issue for me. Using Gran as an example, the mannerisms, the attitude and the voice were more than enough for me to feel that she was her own character. I actually consider the understated physical differentiation between each character to be a huge triumph – demonstrating Lilley's great skill as an actor, while immersing the viewer into a strange Being John Malkovich esque parallel universe where all of the main characters look exactly the same.Overall, I feel that Angry Boys is an accomplished series, but perhaps not one that will benefit from repeated viewings to quite the same extent as his previous shows. Nonetheless, I feel that it is further proof of Chris Lilley's diverse range of talents – and I for one cannot wait to see what he does next.(Can't finish the review without giving a special mention to Jen Okazaki - Chris' most appalling and hilarious creation to date!)

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!

Clever editing, light laughs and a deep level of comedy. Like much of Lilley's work, if you take your eyes off the screen you might miss the joke, which can occasionally come in the background. His abilities in creating characters yet portraying a clear differentiation of them all - it's hard to grasp that they are all the same man. Albeit a bit cringey - I only cringed at 'smouse'. The editing of this show is so smart, allowing him to play multiple roles and it brings a subtlety to the scene. It's clever comedy, this isn't for the canned laughter/slapstick 'insert joke here' junkies. And that's why we love it! I cannot wait to see more of his creations. I hope they give him a second series. Sheer brilliance.
