Derry Girls

[Ginmonster]

I loved the first episode and the latest one in the haunted house. My kid hates me watching it cause he says i laugh too loud

Not sure with tonight. some of it worked some of it didn't. I wonder if they literally couldn't get some of the Derry Girls because of their other filming schedules.

I thought this. And despite finding the adults really funny so far this season, this episode just didn’t hit the spot for me .

I enjoyed last nights I have to say. Was good to see the original derry girls get their moment. Definitely deserved their own episode.

I wasn't sure if it was just me (head's melted right now) or if it was the episode, but something didn't work about last night's Derry Girl's, which is really disappointing because normally I love the scenes with the adults.

I loved this weeks. I’d be happy for the adults to have their own series.

Last night's episode was different and refreshing in a way, but it feels so far like the younger cast swing from either going OTT with their characters sometimes, to just dialing their performances in. I really really hope the last few episodes end on a high and don't turn into a Line of Duty style Wet Fart ending!

I see the Yank Dweebs are shipping Erin and the English bloke. Can they quit the Tumblr bullshit? Good lord.

“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.

The adults need their own series 100%. I really loved last night's episode.

I loved him! I am gutted we haven't seen more of him. He is sooo like my dad with the stuff he comes out with

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.

This! All day long. I grew up between Belfast/Portadown in the early 90's and I wouldn't go back to them times. So many memories growing up but one that stands out is my mum and I having to hide under the table in a cafe after a bomb scare was phoned in, before being escorted away and the bomb went off - I wasn't very old. When people come out with stupid tit like 'I would loved to have lived in the 90's' it really boils my piss!!

I grew up in Belfast in the 70s & 80s. Lost loved ones. Lived in fear. If people fantasise about that there's something wrong with them.

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

Because they're Thick American wankers. The show barely touches the Troubles. That montage made me laugh, they went from WAR ZONE to......Kooky disco with fun and kooky characters. Its so toothless. You could set it in 2022, and you wouldn't know a difference. The 90's setting doesn't mean anything. It was a marketing gimmick.

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

 

[Dizzy]

Absolutely loved the latest one. I would very happily watch a show with just the adults in it. I thought the opening scene around the table was brilliant - poor Gerry!!

 

[Ginmonster]

I read the synopsis for next weeks episode and the follow up on wednesday. Im dying for it but dreading it at the same time

 

[Chinese_whispers]

Any mention of the GFA will have me in floods anyway. Dreading but looking forward to the ending.

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 .

Oh I don’t mean Lisa McGee. I totally understand what she’s doing with Derry Girls. It’s the Americans who now want to live in 90’s NI who baffle me.
