Summer Heights High: Complete Series (2007)


TV Series

Summer Heights High is a TV series from Australia. It aired in the US on HBO. It is a fake documentary series like The Office. It follows the happenings in the high school during a year. It is probably one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. There are so many funny moments in every episode.
The show follows around 3 main characters:
Mr G - the flamboyant drama teacher
Ja'mie King - spoiled rich girl from a private school who is there for an exchange program
Jonah - trouble making kids who loves to breakdance (see video below)



The amazing thing about these 3 different characters is that they are all played by show creator and writer Chris Lilley. His range to play all 3 of these characters is amazing. The big plot points are the drama teacher putting on a play to memoralize a student who died by overdosing on extasy, Ja'mie trying to put on a formal dance, and Jonah writing dick-tations (basically just a penis with "tation" next to it, it makes no sense, but it doesn't matter) everywhere.
The whole series is only 8 episodes long. So it won't take a big committment to watch all of it. And if you rent it the first 7 of the episodes are on one disc.
Just make sure to check it out, because its hilarious.

4.5 out of 5 Stars
