Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Jeff F 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!

lawrenceb56 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.

webster422 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.

alfiekewl10 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!
