Derry Girls

[Fanny Muchmore]

The show is fine, its the Yanks who circle jerk it and use Derry terms that really get on my hairy moobs. Like you're not from Derry, stop talking like it. Its embarrassing and just is shit.

I actually saw a Tumblr post where a young American girl had posted a picture from Derry Girls, with the text "I wish I had lived in Derry in the 90s"

I replied "As someone from Northern Ireland, I can promise you REALLY don't." Some people are just SO naive, ridiculously stupid and annoying.

I thought ep2 was better. James and Orla keep it feeling like the first two series did, the adults do too. Erin and Claire ruin it a little bit with their over acting.

I don't want to trash it because I really do like it, bit I find Erin really annoying with her constant gurning/grimacing.

I have found myself enjoying the adults more this season so far...Gerry, GERRY, GERRY...did you shout me?

Their interactions with the plumber were excellent - 'sure you're a fine specimen'. 'I'm of sub normal intelligence', and on hearing that the plumbers wife had left him for a friend 'Jesus what must the friend look like? Just gold!

I think Orla and Michelle are the best of the young cast. Orla is so good in every scene, I love watching her reacting. Michelle has amazing comic timing and delivers her one liners perfectly, she’s a great comic actress.

Plumber: "I'm originally from Kildare"

Granda: "I'm sorry to hear that"

It's just the deadpan way he says his one liners

Love Granda Joe.

Crying at the end

I loved the "But your English, James, about 5 of ye managed to colonise half the planet so we thought ye might have something up your sleeve”

Has anyone watched this? I'm late to the party I know but I've watched both series over the last few days and I bloody loved it. Made me laugh a lot, funniest thing I've seen in ages.

I’m all four

Grandpa Jo and the little girl jumping together as they left the polling station at the end… cannot deal 🥹

its remarkable, Erin's actor hasn't improved in acting in 5 years, that's a skill right there. To be as awful as you were when the show begin as you are when it ends.

Don't know why you have to be so bloody negative all the time can't you chill out a bit

the stories my mam and uncles have would curl your toes. It’s such a weird thing to romantise.

I think the whole point of Derry Girls is to show what life was like away from the bombs and the guns it's a semi -autobiographical account of Lisa McGees teenage years ,she's not trying to gloss over the troubles she showing how people lived with them .

Nah...very underwhelming. Thought Nicola Coghlan was really OTT. Could barely understand what she was saying. Liam was a nice surprise though!

I think Nicola has an inflated ego since Bridgerton, she’s not as funny in this season of Derry Girls.
I’m still enjoying it so far but it’s got a slight air of self awareness where they know it’s a hit so they tend to overact/live up to previous series.

The second episode is much better! It feels a bit more like the Derry Girls we love. I’m going to pretend the first episode didn’t happen

“my ma? What is he some kind of reverse paedophile?” - best sentence I’ve heard in ages.

I loved last night's episode. The fact they all mirrored their own offspring was hilarious.
A bit disappointed it was only a secret tattoo that was the big secret tho

 

[Boring Monday]

Im sure they were in an episode though? (Not actually Bill and Hilary)

I’ve since found out the part at the end with the letter was a letter that the shows creator wrote to Chelsea when she was a teenager

Wasnt that the episode where James was supposed to go back to England with his mum but came back?
Sweetshop man was selling American flags with the wrong number of stars on.

It was really random. My 13 year old joined me part way through and I'd been explaining different bits to him. I had to sort of gloss over her because I didn't get the relevance.

Bill Clinton's historic visit to Derry helped seal the peace process

 

[LowCalCalzoneZone]

Why Orla is by far the best character...

“Does every bastard own this thing?” - every single time Claires dads opens his mouth he says my favourite lines “Killing nuns now is it?” Is the best line in the whole 3 series so far imo this season needs more of Claires dad.

Loving that the intro to the 70’s is a montage of the troubles at (arguably) their worst. Education for those who wouldn’t have it otherwise.
