Maybe it's because I've always found Clare a bit annoying as a character but I thought Nicola Coughlan was the weakest of the bunch in that first episode, I know Clare is shrill but she was completely over the top. The actresses that play Michelle and Orla are the ones with the most natural comic timing. Uncle Colm was the MVP for me last night

I thought all the mains were weak last night. I rewatched it today and it seemed very disjointed and like they patched a load of footage together, do you know what I mean?
“I’m a boy”
“ok love” - killed me off

I didn’t enjoy it. I had it on while I cleaned the living room and it just seemed to be a strange choice for ep1 and it ended all of a sudden.
Everytime Claire spoke all I could imagine was the amount of spray that must come out her mouth when she speaks, or maybe I'm just weird 
She really was overacting the part in that episode. Liam Neeson, was great!! Orla is the best character, she's always made me laugh. I found the adults more amusing than Erin and co this episode.

I bloody loved the new episode, Derry Girls is one of the funniest comedies of the century
She was annoying me by the end of it but the rest was gold
And me!
Uncle Colm was the best character in the first episode. Maybe because he reminds of so many people I know!
Loved it,and Seamus the cat just slayed me, especially when he was made to wear a collar at the end,
Irish people- did anyone see the actress who plays michelle on the late late on Friday? 
Yes I did, she totally overreacted to Ryan's question about her age and calling him misogynistic.Irish people- did anyone see the actress who plays michelle on the late late on Friday?
Get over yourself love and remember where you come from. Five years she was a nobody.
Completely agree.
I think she thought she was about to make some big statement by saying that he wouldn't have asked a male co star the same thing but it just came across as pathetic. It was so irrelevant and not what Ryan was trying to do at all.
My SIL (In Ireland) was telling me about it and I saw it online afterwards. She was completely OTT. She's playing a part of a teenager, but it's common knowledge that they're all much older than the characters they play (she's 30 as far as I know) so I could understand why the presenter asked her what age she was.
It feels like they wanted to throw in Liam Neeson and the script was written around getting them to meet him
About halfway through the episode and it just doesn’t feel like Derry Girls in a way. Very overacted too
Anyone else now having flashbacks to their own high school Stars in Their Eyes show? Am now recalling a class rendition of Pray by Take That and a girl who actually dressed up as Matthew Kelly to host
Same! And about 25 different entrants for the Spice Girls .... the leopard print, hairspray, doing high kicks and peace signs still haunt me nowAnyone else now having flashbacks to their own high school Stars in Their Eyes show?

I’ve gone all nostalgic
Loved last nights episode
Michelle sees the plumber:
'duck me sideways'
'Language Michelle!'
'duck me come on Mary, that's ridiculous'
'Even so'

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.
