Angry Boys Preview: Australian Comedy Debuts On HBO This Sunday

This Sunday night, Australian series Angry Boys will make its debut on HBO. The series, which premieres January 1st, is a mockumentary created by, written by and starring Chris Lilley, who plays a number of characters. We have a couple of trailers for the show, which will give you a better idea of the kind of humor featured in the series.

If you’re familiar with Summer Heights High, which aired briefly on ABC in 2007, then you’re familiar with Lilley’s work. Angry Boys debuted in Australia last May, “explores the lives, dreams and aspirations of males in present-day society, spotlighting six characters, all portrayed by Lilley, from a pair of 17-year-old twin boys in Australia to a 24-year-old Los Angeles-based rapper.”

The trailers below paint a much better picture in terms of the humor and quirkiness of the series...

Angry Boys premieres Sunday, January 1st at 10:00 p.m. ET on HBO.
