Title: Derry Girls Post by: NowhereMan on October 09, 2019, 03:14:48 AM I haven't seen this mentioned elsewhere on the board so thought I'd throw out a recommendation. It's a single season, 6 episode thing so very short but very funny/nostalgic show about a group of 15 year old teenage girls from Derry during the early 90s. It's sitcom level realism (so not very) but if you have any Irish connections you'll recognise everything more or less immedaitely. If you enjoyed Father Ted you'll probably really like this too.
I'm guessing Ironwood has already seen and enjoyed it. Title: Re: Derry Girls Post by: 01101010 on October 09, 2019, 04:05:17 AM My wife watched this one Saturday. She enjoyed it.

Title: Re: Derry Girls Post by: Quinton on October 09, 2019, 11:47:51 AM Actually two seasons with a third in the works. Enjoyable show.
Title: Re: Derry Girls Post by: Raph on October 09, 2019, 02:16:23 PM Two seasons. We loved it. Probably extra resonant for a) anyone raised Cathollic b) anyone who grew up in a conflict zone of some sort.
Title: Re: Derry Girls Post by: Typhon on October 10, 2019, 03:56:39 PM I'd add c) have an Irish heritage.
I have (half) Irish heritage, thought both season are excellent. Some episodes are a little flat (end of season one), but pick back up and it's worth it to stick with it all the way to the end of season two. Irish accents/grammar can be hard to understand if you aren't used to it. |
