Watched my first episode (5 of 8, apparrently) last night. It's a good sign when you can come to a comedy halfway through a series and within ten seconds, you're crying with laughter. It hits just the right line between subtlety and purility and clearly emulates the Larry David/Ricky Gervais style comedy of embarrassment and straining at the PC leash, but thankfully ends up more Larry than Ricky; and the performances by Chris Lilley are fantastic, to the extent that I even find myself lusting slightly after Ja'mie's pert teenage breasts.
