Derry Girls

Just caught up last night and I enjoyed the last episode. I liked how we got to see a more sensitive/deeper side to Michelle. Loved the dancing scenes with Orla and how her mood suddenly changed when she encountered the soldiers, she’d always been portrayed as carefree until those few seconds, it showed that nobody was immune to what was happening at the time, then true to form she carried on dancing.
I also thought bringing Liam Neeson back for the polling station scene was good, it showed that ultimately both “sides” had had enough and chose peace.
The “adults” were always my favourites on the show, love Mary and Sister Michael in particular and Tommy Tiernan (Gerry) is my favourite comedian, seen him live a few times now, he’s incredible but not for the easily offended 🙈
Best moment of the whole series for me was probably Sister Michael in her sunnies in the Dolorean. Iconic 😎

The photo was Jack Charlton, much beloved by Ireland football fans!

There was a photo of Jack Charlton on the mantelpiece in Father Ted’s house as well. He also had a photo of JFK on the wall next to the Pope. I’m assuming this was a thing in Ireland at the time?

I am not comparing her looks to her acting ability. I am saying.....

1) She's the best looking woman on the show by a country mile.

2) If she wasn't suppose to act the way she does playing Erin then producers would tell her to do it another way. They wouldn't leave her to 'act terrible' if she was doing it wrong.

Im also unsure about what her looks have to do with it either?

We had photos of the Pope and Jack Charlton on our living room sideboard 🤣 he’s the only Englishman the Irish liked back in the 90s 😂 he was adored here.
 
Finally watched the last episode and it was fun in places but as this whole series has been for me, not in the same league as previously. One bonus of the younger ones not really hitting their stride though is that we got to see more of the adults who, IMO, completely stole the show. The scenes with the 4 of them were by far my favourite - the comic timing was perfect. Shame we didn’t see more Sister Michael although the De Lorean scene almost made up for it.

I’ll miss it. I may watch from the beginning again 😁

Me too ! Been waiting for a quiet evening to take it in fully. I would have been happy to leave it at the last series too, whomever did the styling though did it with love - Claire’s Baby G watch made me smile.

Sister Michael steals the show acting wise for me, she can convey so much with just a subtle facial expression. Loved her in bake off too ❤.

Anyone watched London Irish? I gave episode one a try but not sure if I will persevere, might be a slow burner.
 
Loved the last episode. Especially the ending, when they were leaving after they'd voted. The way Joe was holding the hand of his youngest granddaughter as they left, echoed what he'd said to Erin about voting for the younger generation and what was best for them and their future - until everything that had happened just seemed like "ghost stories". I felt it was really poignant - like a handover to the next generation as they left the building together.

Apologies for the GCSE-style analysis 😂😂

Yeah he’s the recent one but she’s had Daniel too
