It started
a few weeks ago in Australia and received luke warm reviews.
More dramatic
The initial reviews were that it was more 'dramedy' (I suppose that word is a mash-up of drama and comedy) than as straight-out hilarious as his other stuff. But I think it's too early to judge yet. And I'm really really looking forward to it as SHH and We Can Be Heroes were among my favourite TV watches of recent years. For other Chris Lilley fans, see this article which interviews Chris about Angry Boys in the Guardian

This was typical
of the reviews I read:
"Chris Lilley's Angry Boys is bold, aggressive, unafraid to trample on some very shaky ground. But on the basis of last night's opening episode, it's hard to conclude that it's especially funny. Yet."
