Derry Girls (Channel 4)

I thought it was brilliant 👏.

I laughted my way through most of if.

The cameo was outstanding.

I think our local video shop used to charge you 50p if you fudnt rewind the tape!

It's pure nostalgia for me, reliving my teenager years.

Sure they're making a "That 90's Show" on the basis that the 90's are now as far away as the 70's were when they started making that 70's show.

I liked this episode .Some great one liners and I love sister Micheal!

its lesser celebrated for a reason

Agree 100%

Like most comedy these days, they have skewered the meaning of the word "hilarious".

Soundtrack is excellent, I love the nostalgia, but it's mildly amusing on the whole. I agree with your thoughts on Coughlan's overacting, while the character of Claire is very annoying.

I regard it is a nice look back on an albeit difficult time in 1990s Northern Ireland, but a comedy classic it ain't. Still good though.

I have to agree with the criticism, much as I wanted to love this season. I think the actors are visibly getting older and make less credible teens than before. the hamming up seems to be Nicola Coughlan's response to that, but I found it a bit much. I'll still watch it - and there were some funny moments - but overall I'm hoping it improves as the season progresses.

yep agree it is funny but like you say nicola coughlan was just annoying in it, maybe because she had less time because of bridgerton she was rushing her stuff who knows.

thought kevin macaleer in the ruc station was brilliant (and yes i know hes been doing that act for years)

seamus the cat !

All 4 is free.

I'm not their biggest fan but enjoyed the episode last night, it is what it is a bit of harmless fun with some nostalgia thrown in.

First half of episode was slow and not really funny...second half was solid! Great cameo

I thought it was good and broadly consistent with previous series. I laughed and felt nostalgic.

I didn’t think many of the jokes landed this episode

I think it was pretty much on a par with the rest of the series: a mildly amusing dose of nostalgia with the occasional great line from one of the supporting cast (usually Tommy Tiernan or Siobhan McSweeney).

For all the over-acting criticisms thrown at Nicola Coughlan here, I have to say I recognise the character in girls I knew growing up. Personally it'd be Saoirse-Monica Jackson's portrayal of Erin that would get on my nerves most but again, that's probably because I recognise the type... this side of the border they all developed D4 accents in college even if they were from the arsehole of nowhere.
