Derry Girls

I'm a bit surprised there isn't already a thread for this, so with the third and final series starting on Tuesday I thought I'd start one.

Anyone else a fan?

A great wee show.

I love the series.

I've enjoyed it so far, and this morning I set my Freesat box to record this latest series.

* It's a regular Saturday morning job, over a cup of tea, to check the TV guide & set to record everything of interest over the coming week, so I don't miss anything, and can skip the ads, unlike on catch-up.

Yes
Sending a Sr. Michael gif or pic in response to a text is a firm favourite thing of mine.

It a great show, I have watched through a few times and I keeping finding little details that that I missed in a previous watch through.

Probably the second best Irish sitcom I've seen, although it's tight between DG and The Young Offenders.

I really liked the first series, but it does get old quickly. Same one punchline characters. The stowaway on the road trip episode was particularly great. People don't talk about it but I thought the teenage girl sitcom Some Girls was really good with proper fleshed out characters.

I remember trying out Some Girls, and it didn't seem as sharp as Derry Girls. Maybe I'll give it another go.

The DG episode which stands out for me is when they do that "peace initiative" with the boys Protestant school.

Liked the first two series a lot and looking forward to the third one - although since most of the "schoolgirls" are thirtyish and one is 35, they've probably chosen the right point to conclude it.

 

[Schmetterling]

There is no shame in a half load!

 

[nagapie]

Enjoyed both series, definitely looking forward to another.

 

[stavros]

Not a bad start. The highlight was definitely Uncle Colm.

 

[Maggot]

Liam Neeson!

 

[T & P]

I don’t know how I managed to miss this for so long. Started watching S1 yesterday and nearly finished with S2 already. Genuinely funny as fuck, and extremely watchable and enjoyable.

 

[scifisam]

Liam Neeson!

How did they get him!

Loved the first episode of season three and an rewatching it all from the start.

I was the same, not picking it up until after the second series had been screened.

The kind of thing that probably wouldn't get commissioned under Nadine Dorries' vision?

 

[danny la rouge]

How did they get him!

I imagine his prices have gone down since that time he said he went out looking for black guys to batter.

Another good episode last night. I won't spoiler by saying which act they chose to be, but it was the 90s and there's 5 of them . . . .

I'd narrowed it down to two possibilities, but they'd pursued the Take That topic in the second series.

The highlight for me was the dynamic between Sister Michael and Father "Matthew" Peter.

Best one of the series so far? The discussion about display Kitkats was a particular highlight.

I kid you not, that happened to me in the chicken shop today when I asked for a Diet Pepsi.

The episode with the Ukrainians seems uncannily resonant atm.

This is on the Downpatrick & County Down Railway FB where the episode was mostly filmed.

 

[scifisam]

I'm so glad this season is as good as the previous seasons.

The display kitkat routine has been done before except it was an egg sandwich and rhod Gilbert.
