Not nearly as funny as SHH, but infinitely better


Don't get me wrong; I loved Summer Heights High. One of the funniest shows to ever appear on HBO. But it didn't have a lot of depth to it. And I kind of figured that was just Lilley's schtick, until I watched Angry Boys. The show is humorous, but there's so much more to it than that. It has drama and touching moments mixed in with humor, so that it never takes itself too seriously. And the fact that Lilley can dress as an old lady and I never once think of her as a man in drag is truly astounding. He is so talented. It's such a genius show. The finale was amazing and I can't wait to see what he does next.

It would appear Lilley's gone back to square one then with Ja'mie: Private School Girl. It's very one-dimensional compared with Angry Boys and there's no real plot line or interesting events. It's not very funny either, so it's probably worse than SHH, which I've yet to see.
