They dam surf, they skate, they do 'mainees' in the street in their mother's hotted up Nissan Pulsar. In their bedroom are the 'Wall of Legends', pictures of the people they consider their heroes — surfer Blake Oakfield, Japanese skater Tim Okazaki, U.S. rapper S.mouse, bikini model Emily Chase, their late dad and their prison officer grandmother, 'Gran'. Gran lives and works at Garingal Juvenile Justice Centre for Boys together with her co-worker Penny. In her spare time, Gran cares for her 23 guinea pigs and makes superhero pyjamas for the young inmates.

tim ggg I don't really know where to begin. Definitely one of my favourite television series. Rather than just explain why it's so hilarious, I'll just make a few bullet points to sum up the characters: An insane, manipulative and controlling Japanese mother who markets her American skateboarding superstar son as a homosexual, creating a franchise around his homosexuality (despite the fact that he's straight). She buys him a dog called "Gay Dog", which is, in her words, "the first ever gay dog".A retired surfing champion who has a childish feud with a rival gang that shot his nuts off.A racist and hilarious juvie guard who forms a relationship with a boy that was incarcerated for "wanking a dog".Two teenage bogan brothers that live on a farm, one of which is deaf. They rename their mum's boyfriend's dog from "Marcos" to "Fuckos" and teach his 3 year old son how to say "my dad's a fag".An African-American rapper who pretends to come from the slums but actually grew up in an upper-class household, sang in a choir, and begged his dad for the Wicked soundtrack. He raps about wanting a "three-legged dog" and his "intellectality".So yeah, the show's incredibly hilarious. Some critics may call it childish at times, but the show is a mockumentary that is 100% satirical. If you haven't watched it, I seriously recommend giving it a shot.
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.
jackspinozashaw After initial disappointment I found this series to hit something above the normal. As the stories developed I realised I was not watching Lilley but watching entirely authentic characters. He is a great actor, writer and commenter on society. The characters are like from a modern Ibsen play; good characters but not necessarily of good character. As the narratives slowly piece together (and it is a very gradual process) something emerged for me that was close to the sublime; a humanity that is more important than the comedic values, a sincerity that is more valuable than the dramatic qualities and a genuine compassion for the characters. I am so happy I stayed with it and watched the series in it's entirety. The emotional gratification in the latter episodes had me overwhelmed at times.
scattiee-1 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!
