It’s fantastic. On our third watch!

quercus48.bsky.social•50 days ago

Even funnier when you see episodes a second time

ccbaxter61.bsky.social•49 days ago

Derry Girls are cracker!

harpharpsichord.bsky.social•50 days ago

One of my favorite TV series!!!! I’m so happy to see that you watched it and loved it!

Don’t miss The Great British Baking Show, Derry Girls special

davidmccullough.bsky.social•49 days ago

I think I watched that a long time ago but I'm sure I'll appreciate it more now. Thanks for reminding me

docmumirl.bsky.social•49 days ago

Next up Bad sisters on Apple TV .

jennyfromthebay.bsky.social•49 days ago

I laughed my butt off at this one!

bucketshopbob.bsky.social•49 days ago

You are in good company. Martin Scorsese loved it too. Who woulda thunk.

duncanjonesmerrion.bsky.social•50 days ago

The last show is a tear jerker but in a very good way.

orlamcdermott.bsky.social•50 days ago

It’s an exquisite piece of television. So beautifully handled. I’m getting emosh just thinking of it.

leadfootlj.bsky.social•49 days ago

My sister LOVES that show

postdemocracy.us•49 days ago

That's one of the best shows, shame they didn't keep it rolling!

suermo.bsky.social•50 days ago

It’s such a great show! Brilliant comedy but the sad/emotional bits are so well done, especially the last episode.

seaflare.bsky.social•49 days ago

It’s “Rock the Boat!”

davidmccullough.bsky.social•49 days ago

And Seamus the feral cat!

shellyfriedland.bsky.social•49 days ago

We just watched The Fall, which takes place in Belfast and has 3 actors from Derry Girls, extra treat (for a very dark show).

bngr24.bsky.social•48 days ago

It's genius.

firstdail.bsky.social•50 days ago

Truly funny and poignant at the same time.

queenosheba.bsky.social•49 days ago

I was sad when it was over.

cheriebrowning.bsky.social•50 days ago

😍😍

mrbobbles.bsky.social•49 days ago

One of the best shows on TV! Absolutely love it!!!😊

speccymcspec.bsky.social•49 days ago

I had so many doubts about this before I saw it. I am older than those girls, but grew up through the “Troubles”. Such a good show. Much laughing, many tears. Wonderful

oskeewawa1984.bsky.social•49 days ago

It was Michelle, It was Michelle…

cathdibella.bsky.social•50 days ago

It is so much fun and great sound track

petercoates.bsky.social•49 days ago

Great series! The last episode was very touching.

jdalton79.bsky.social•50 days ago

It's the best isn't it? Hits all the right notes perfectly 💚

michaelmeister.bsky.social•49 days ago

The only problem with Derry Girls is that it's difficult to find another show as delightful and satisfying.

scareyjoe.bsky.social•49 days ago

Less cosy than Derry Girls but The Young Offenders is excellent.

michaelmeister.bsky.social•49 days ago

Thanks. Didn’t know about it. Checked it out on IMDB and added to watch list. Another one that is high on my bests list is Reservation Dogs. Obviously not Irish though.

scareyjoe.bsky.social•49 days ago

That sounds good, even from the title.

michaelmeister.bsky.social•49 days ago

One of the things it has in common with Derry Girls is that I really fell in love with the characters and looked forward to each episode.

derrickrocks.bsky.social•49 days ago

Absolutely wonderful show! I was exceptionally sad when it was over. Still chasing that high.

dionlisle.bsky.social•50 days ago

I had to do the first 3-4 episodes with the Subtitles on but then got it.

Lovely show.
Poignant message too.

davidmccullough.bsky.social•49 days ago

Oh, the subtitles have helped me a lot, but I'm needing to rely on them less

galgomom.bsky.social•49 days ago

It is priceless and the series finale had me sobbing.

purplepepsilady.bsky.social•49 days ago

The actress who played Erin Quinn has the best facial expressions, Orla was hysterical and Nicola Coughlan who played Clare is fricken legend. She's on Bridgerton now on Netflix and is brilliant.

saclawyer.bsky.social•49 days ago

It’s so funny. I loved Derry Girls.

joellevinyc.bsky.social•49 days ago

It’s that good.

purgatoridk.bsky.social•49 days ago

IT WAS MICHELLE!!!

bluetigermusic.bsky.social•50 days ago

My city.

davidmccullough.bsky.social•49 days ago

Oh, that's cool

doghog42.bsky.social•49 days ago

Mine too. Whereabouts, if you don't mind me asking?

bluetigermusic.bsky.social•49 days ago

I don't live there, I live in Donegal. But went to school there, and worked there.

trishly.bsky.social•49 days ago

The Irish have the best craic!

davidmccullough.bsky.social•49 days ago

This is unquestionable!

coleraineyid.bsky.social•49 days ago

You’ll see more watching it the second time round

shivgaffney.bsky.social•49 days ago

So true... at a table of Irish, English, Dutch and Aussies tonight this was 💯% general consensus 🙌

chrismorea85.bsky.social•49 days ago

"Ya can't be an individual by yourself"-- best line ever!

daithimacg.bsky.social•50 days ago

I imagine you've watched all of Fr. Ted ?

davidmccullough.bsky.social•50 days ago

Not yet, but it sounds as if I must

daithimacg.bsky.social•50 days ago

I'm saying it's fabulous if a little dated now. Stick with it for an episode or three. It's just madcap stuff really.Please report back, one way or another.

sailingirishwriter.bsky.social•49 days ago

I find it kinda bittersweet as it brings up so many memories of growing up in Northern Ireland at that time. So we laugh but are reminded of horrors.

davidmccullough.bsky.social•49 days ago

Even though I've never experienced anything remotely similar, the bittersweetness of it has occurred to me. I can't imagine what it must have really been like

orlamcdermott.bsky.social•50 days ago

Up next… Father Ted. I think everyone here uses a quote from it at least 3 times a day.

beebsymca.bsky.social•50 days ago

Oh yes. This is actual Irish law 😆

kobriendublin.bsky.social•50 days ago

You should check out "Grabbers" when you get a chance.

It was my main "Couchsurfer Movie Night" movie for years.

Now check out Sex Education. My husband and I cracked up. 😁
