Wonderfully offbeat film!

Brilliant and touching

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A lot can happen in a 30 minute sit-com, and Derry Girls is no exception. The comedy performances, writing and production is spot-on, slo-mo and steadycam shots of mundane action backed with awesome 90's choons (and Whigfield). I like it, maybe you will too. Notable episodes are #3 and #4, when our gang chase the dead-ringer of Erin's dog, Toto, into church and to witness a miracle involving Our Sacred Lady investigated by a dashing Priest, and when the Children of Chernobyl visit Derry, which could take them out of the frying pan and into a different frying pan. Great cast, some pretty decent character-driven humour (including the older generations) and an interesting take on the setting and period make for a great formula, not too burdened by PC or a political agenda.

Gang of idiot schoolgirls and a dumb boy get everything wrong, every time. In Derry. During war.Plenty of laughs, and it felt like a synergy of Father Ted and Two Packets Of Crisps. Really liked all the characters, and lovely performances from the chubby anxious girl and the drawling diary reader. Pace keeps chopping along, and the music is peppy.The writer has great instincts, but I guess it's one of those gems that could be polished or tarnished with extra creative input.

But this is #@%&* hilarious! It's rare for any TV writing to surprise me with originality, and far rarer still for a "comedy" show to exhibit enough originality to catch me off guard, but this is a piece of abso-frecking-lute genius! If you're from the UK of GB & NI, watch it; you'll laugh your @rse off. If not, give it a try, and google lots. to try to get where these absolutely brilliant characterisations come from. I'm actually jealous that someone else wrote this brilliant work!

I do not normally watch shows like this, but I found it to be laugh-out-loud funny.
