Angry Boys is an Australian mockumentary television series which premiered on HBO on June 11, 2011. The show is created and starred by Chris Lilley, an Australian comedian, writer, and producer, who is known for playing multiple characters in his productions. In this show, he portrays six different male characters, who are diverse in age, race, and social background.

The show is set in different parts of Australia and the United States, and it follows the lives and struggles of these characters. What makes the show unique is its mix of satire, drama, and humor, where Lilley explores various themes, such as family, masculinity, adolescence, and cultural differences. Through his characters, Lilley gives a critical commentary on the contemporary issues and challenges faced by young men in society, in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

One of the main characters in the show is Daniel Sims, a 17-year-old boy from rural New South Wales, who dreams of becoming a professional skateboarder. Daniel is portrayed as a rebellious teenager, who often clashes with his mother, Jen, and his twin brother, Nathan. He is also shown to be involved in petty crime and drug use, which often gets him into trouble with the law. Despite all this, Daniel has a soft side and a desire to belong and be accepted.

Another character in the show is Nathan Sims, Daniel's twin brother, who is deaf and communicates through sign language. Nathan is shown to be a talented rapper and a popular figure in his school, but he faces challenges in expressing himself and being understood by others. His story explores issues of disability and identity, as he struggles to reconcile his love for rap music and his deafness.

The third character in the show is Gran, an elderly woman from a small town in South Australia, who runs a juvenile detention center for boys. Gran is portrayed as a tough and uncompromising figure, who believes in discipline and tough love. Her story highlights the issue of juvenile delinquency and the challenges faced by those who work in the detention centers.

Other characters in the show include Blake Oakfield, a former surfing champion from Queensland, who is now a coach for young swimmers in California, S.mouse, an African-American rapper who is trying to make it big in the music industry, and Jen Okazaki, a Japanese mother of two boys who is trying to cope with the death of her husband.

Throughout the show, Lilley's characters interact with each other and with other people, presenting a wide range of perspectives and experiences. The show employs a mockumentary style, where the characters are interviewed and filmed in a way that mimics reality TV. This creates a sense of authenticity and intimacy, allowing the audience to engage with the characters and their stories.

Overall, Angry Boys is a witty, insightful, and entertaining show that offers a fresh perspective on the challenges faced by young men in today's society. Lilley's characters are well-crafted and memorable, and the show succeeds in balancing humor and drama in a way that is both entertaining and profound. The show's exploration of themes such as family, identity, and diversity is timely and relevant, and its portrayal of these issues through multiple characters and perspectives makes it a must-watch for anyone interested in contemporary social issues.
