Ja’mie Private School Girl
A new series premieres on HBO this Sunday that's totally quiche!
Has there every been a bigger cunt portrayed on TV than 17 year-old Ja’mie King: Australian comedian Chris Lilley‘s best character (sorry Mr G.) from We Can be Heroes, Summer Heights High and the new Ja’mie: Private School Girl? When it comes to truly hilarious villains Arrested Development‘s matriarchal monster Lucille Bluth is the only other name that comes to mind. If we’re lucky that’s who Ja’mie will grow up to be.
Abi and I have both been watching Ja’mie: Private School Girl for the last few weeks (it’s been airing in Australia since October — one of the few time Australia has got anything first). This Sunday the show premiers on HBO and the BBC in the UK.
Private School Girl is a first for Lilley in that he’s abandoning his usual formula from past series and only focusing on one character. This works because Ja’mie, despite being a vapid bitch, is a strong character and Lilley clearly has fun playing her. There’s more than enough drama to fill the show’s 22 minute running time.
We pick up with Ja’mie in her last 3 months of school at Hillford Girls Grammar. I could give you a blow by blow of all the shit that’s gone down in the first five eps, but I don’t want to spoil all the surprises. Instead I’ll do what any quiche 16 year-old girl would do and let my gifs do the talking. OMG I’m so random sometimes.
