NEW SERIES!

COMEDY
In this terrific Australian import, Chris Lilley plays three characters in a public high school: Ja'mie, a rich transfer student who floats about as if she were Miley Cyrus lording it over a frowsy fan club; Jonah, a troublemaking (and realistically troubled) kid from Tonga; and drama teacher Mr. G, who wants to stage a musical about a student's fatal overdose but, hampered by her parents' objections, retools the script to make it more about himself and his dog Celine. He and Ja'mie are unrepentant narcissists—hilarious, wonderful, oblivious monsters.
