Australian phenom Summer Heights High has hit the US.
The series, which swept Australia back in '07, is now airing on HBO.
Summer Heights High is an eight-part series which chronicles one term at an Australian high school. The series is shot in a satirical, mockumentary format, with Australian funny-man Chris Lilley playing the three main roles.
Lilly transforms from the
effeminate and self-absorbed drama teacher Mr. G, to the vulgar, Pacific Inlander, Jonah Takalua, to the privileged and bratty teenage girl, Ja'mie King.
Three episodes in, the show is so humorous that it is depressing to know only five more exist.
Lilley also played multiple roles in another popular Australian series, We Can Be Heroes. Hopefully, Summer Heights High's international success will lead to an international distribution for this series as well.
