deepfatfriedoreos A thoroughly enjoyable and hilarious addition to channel 4's comedic offerings. The extreme success of 'Derry Girls' lies deeply rooted in the effective well-rounded development of the main and recurring characters. With all four of the Derry Girls being totally antithetical to each other, the show seemingly appeals to a wide and diverse audience without losing sight of its purpose as a comedy. Set in 1990s Derry, McGee intricately intertwines the treacherous and realistic political undertones as an effective backdrop to successfully juxtapose the comedic on-goings in the lives of the core characters. It should win lots of awards.

dilsonbelper Poor poor acting, loose script, stale references to norn oirish history, plagiarizing other fantastic comedies IE weeping Our Lady taken from Fools and Horses many other rip off scenes too Father Ted, Inbetweeners etc . The northern Irish die hard will still force laugh's at this rubbish, and I suppose the the Emperors new clothes situation will arise when the wee man shouts out in the crowd..."this just isn't funny" and the mass of fools turn around and yes yes your are right wee man" it is as funny as give my head peace on a good night.

themwallace But this is #@%&* hilarious! It's rare for any TV writing to surprise me with originality, and far rarer still for a "comedy" show to exhibit enough originality to catch me off guard, but this is a piece of abso-frecking-lute genius! If you're from the UK of GB & NI, watch it; you'll laugh your @rse off. If not, give it a try, and google lots. to try to get where these absolutely brilliant characterisations come from. I'm actually jealous that someone else wrote this brilliant work!

jamesmylercook I do not normally watch shows like this, but I found it to be laugh-out-loud funny.
