HAPPY 6 YEARS OF DERRY GIRLS!!!

[nicki-lewis903]

A show that’s perfect from start to finish is rare; but when you find one you can’t help recommending it. For me that show is unquestionably Derry Girls.

I had the honor of discovering this show last summer after coming home from a trip and feeling a little worn out; so I sat down and decided to just binge some Netflix.

The show’s premise is about five teenage friends living in Ireland during the civil war along with their families, not to mention the many other things that can occur in your teen years. Like trying to get money for a school trip, having to pass a test or even first love. But nothing these five get into ever turns out all wrapped in a bow to look pretty.

Every character in the show is fleshed out enough to make their stories even more relatable to the viewers; they are not perfect or even unlikable. They’re human and flawed which is why every character in this show is a joy to watch. In fact this is one show where I can’t pinpoint a favorite character because each has something unique to bring.

The comedy in the show is also top notch in my opinion; it’s not easy to predict what will happen. You may think the joke will pan out one way but the writers have a different outcome entirely. But one thing I also love is the fact the comedy is so balanced between the drama of what was actually happening during those times. One shot will show the five friends laughing or dancing together and then it cuts to a significant moment during the war.

One of the most wonderful and realistic moments comes from and interaction between the main protagonist Erin Quinn and her best friend Clare Devlin. I won’t spoil it but the final episode of season one between these two had a moment that is something so real for that time period and the acting in that moment between the two actresses Saorirse-Monica Jackson and Nicola Coughlan was beautifully done.

The family and townspeople of Derry are also a joy to watch; from Granda Joe and Gerry bickering, Sister Michael’s ruthless sarcasm, Aunt Sarah not being fully aware of what’s happening in that moment or social cues, Uncle Colm’s stories and unhinged shop owner Dennis. The whole town is unique and honestly has someone that we all knew just like that as kids.

Every season finale will be sure to bring a tear to you in some way, like I said the writers did a beautiful job balancing the humor with the historical events and drama. However the series finale monologue is one of the most beautiful summaries not only to what these characters went through but what everyone experiences in those years going from a teenager just enjoying life to having to grow up and knowing that things won’t be the same.

It’s definitely one of the best shows I’ve ever watched, probably the series I quote the most and is a show I never tire of watching. If you’ve never seen it but have a love for comedy it’s worth checking out. Maybe like for me this show will be your comfort series that brings you infinite joy and laughter when things get tough.

The film Joyride (that was filmed around County Kerry and County Clare [for at least one scene] a couple of years ago) that stars Olivia Colman, Charlie Reid (and Tommy Tiernan and other prominent Irish actors in side roles) is now out on Netflix in UK/Ireland, and i keep pausing to spot all the locations I recognise 😂😍

Like, it blows my mind that they filmed scenes for the film in the area where you queue for the ferry and on the ferry itself between County Kerry and County Clare that I commute on every few weeks 😍

Like, they even have the main characters missing the ferry and having to wait for the next one to come around (which has happened to me before 😂), plus the safety announcement over the loudspeakers that I hear during every trip - I could literally recite it word-for-word 😂

I've sat on those seats on the upstairs viewing platforms before 😂

Also, this scene has Tommy Tiernan's character playing the Home and Away theme tune on the tin whistle as part of an impromptu singalong with Olivia Colman and Charlie Reid's characters 😂👏😍

Bonus round: Kerry Airport! Where I'll be flying from when I go on my holidays in the beginning of September 😊

It's mad to see the local further education college credited on a big film like this 💖

Tommy Tiernan is the only person doing stand up comedy correctly and I will not be swayed on this

[perplexed-confusion]

My superpower is identifying famous people only by their roles in shows I've watched.

Examples include:

Chevy Chase in Community

Bruce Willis in Friends season 7

Lin Manuel Miranda in Brooklyn 99

Brad Pitt in a Friends thanksgiving episode

Tommy Tiernan in Derry Girls

Danny Devito in It's Always Sunny

I must say, Clare, I find your attitude shocking. Sister Michael has asked us to do something in her hour of need, and if that means that we must spend a night in Donegal, in a house, in an adult-free house, for the entire night, then that is a cross that we’ll just have to bear.
