They picked the best actors to play the gang. Despite being mostly over a decade older than their characters, they really convince as angsty teens, and their chemistry really sells it!
Season 1 & 2 are funny but season-3 is failure. Why ALL actors in Season-3 acting like they have a significant distress an ongoing anger pattern? Everybody is stressful in the same way - anger, and there are no individual characters, that signify each person.
@@ESCFansUnited The writer was interviewed recently and said that the most contentious thing about the whole broadcast was saying that protestants don't like Abba. Not anything else about terrorists or sectarian divide. Just that protestants hate Abba! We are human.
In The Derry Girls I liked season 1 and 2, but the season-3 was a disaster. All Season-3 episodes are not realistic and not funny, every actor lost their own character and all actors only doing face shaking when they are speaking. What has happened with Derry Girls season-3?
I _would_ like to state (for the tape) that the scene with Colm coming to the R.U.C. as the girl's (and James') adult should have been included. Also, for the tape, the "funniest scenes" from _Derry_ _Girls_ is essentially the entire programme.
@@charzard1000Sisters full name is George Michael but she was known at school as sister Michael. George Michael was a very popular singer in the 80's. He's the one who sang the popular Last christmas song.
I don't usually get emotional but several episodes of Derry Girls just broke me up. Maybe because I grew up during that same time period and was aware of the terrible conditions. It must have been so difficult from the teens' perspective when just getting to adulthood is difficult enough without a civil war. Kudos to everyone involved in the film.
My favourite 2 will always be 1) Them being caught stealing from the Dead Nun while James pisses in the corner 2) The Sister on the bus laughing at her book, which is The Exorcist.
One Day I put this on for literally no reason at all other than to have background Noise. And for whatever reason like 4 episodes in I started paying attention and now this is like my favorite show It's soooooo funny
I binged all seasons in just 3 days!! Man this is the best thing I’ve ever watched, I wish there was a way to erase all I know so I can experience this again.
I'm from Donegal living in Florida and a spanish guy at work kept telling me how great Derry Girls is so I finally watched this and cracked up. Fantastic!!!!!!!
Im sad that this show only has 3 seasons but some of the best comedy shows only have 2 or 3 seasons father ted, fawlty towers, the inbetweeners, end it while your at the top of your game and thats what Mcgee did fairplay to her shes a brilliant writer and these character are fecking brilliant 😂 👏

@@algoodmonin2172 Well, I believe you're in the minority; I don't think I even understand what you're talking about. And season 3, it WAS funny but it also took place during a time of major political history (the Good Friday Agreement) coinciding with everyone coming of age. I think they did an excellent job of portraying being 17/18, which is a confusing time, and how they were beginning to make decisions on their own that affect the rest of their lives, not to mention the voting episode which affected everyone in the country. Your whole life is ahead of you at that age, which is exciting, but also reality sinks in and you start to see the world not as black and white anymore, but shades of grey. Derry Girls wasn't meant to be just a sitcom; in it's core it's a coming of age show and I think they really hit the nail on the head.

@@algoodmonin2172you're all out here hating on season 3. You're replying in every comment. And you're just repeating everything. Maybe the show is not for you because it has somehow deep meaning in it. You want all rainbows
Most of the cast were previously unknown, yet the viewing figures were high for every episode. The Inbetweeners took two years to become popular & Friday Night Dinner took seven years to do so. Peep Show has never had mainstream success. What made DG immediately very popular, but not the others?
I don't know about Friday Night Dinner, but the others are quite.. male-centric, aren't they? I'm not really up to date on tv now, but I remember as a teenager I found it really difficult to find series that appealed to me with women in the lead. Could it be that there's still a larger output of British comedy shows with male leads, dividing potential viewers, while there're less comedies with female leads, meaning everyone interested in that is going to be watching DG? I remember there was a similar theory floated about the success of Wonder Woman, even beyond the objective quality of the movie. There being a lot of superhero movies but still only a few focusing on a woman. As I said, I'm not really up on current tv shows so it's just a theory.
I looked up 'best British comedy series' after writing this comment, and 8 of 52 results seem to be female-led, 28 male-led. Even the ensemble shows don't have an even distribution, don't get me wrong I love IT Crowd and Black Books but they both have one woman each and even most of the supporting roles are men. It's probably not the only factor, but I still think it's a factor nonetheless.
"Catholics really buzz off statues, and we don't so much." "I do enjoy a good statue, it has to be said." Such a great exchange and perfect deliver on Sister George Michael's part.
It took a long time to get into this show. I kept meaning to have a look and then forgot about it, but I finally started a week or so ago. Now I'm just sad that it ended. Funny, poignant, nostalgic, eye-opening and a load of Northern Irish accents phrases...so there were. I've totally saved 'who put 50p in the eejit'.
I learned about The Troubles because of this show. I never knew there was a significant conflict in Northern Ireland. I did a deep dive into research after finishing the series. And before anyone comes for me, I’m not American; I come from a small country, and we were never taught about the histories of most countries.
They picked the best actors to play the gang. Despite being mostly over a decade older than their characters, they really convince as angsty teens, and their chemistry really sells it!
the script really helps too, lisa mcgee is a genius, these characters say the dumbest things it’s so easy to believe they’re teenagers lol

There was a show called Facts of Life (in the U.S.) a bit similar to this show and the cast was twice their characters age.
@@algoodmonin2172 this show takes place during the Troubles... I'd be constantly stressed and angry too
It's a credit to both Mcgees writing but also the actors the stupid shit they say the actors delivery it really well incredible show
“The hairdresser certainly did” breaks me every time 😂😂😂 gotta love a sister with the sick burns
She is iconic ❤
The whole Sister Michael hating Father Peter bit is always hilarious to watch 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
And yet their final scene together is so great, sipping whiskey and chatting
“Protestants hate ABBA” actually broke me 😂
No we don't. But the English are savages!
Its tge pronounced " hate " that got me.
Aren’t they Swedish, and Sweden is a Protestant country lol.

@@algoodmonin2172I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought this. The ending just felt unfinished to me. I still love the show though
@@Saritaschaoscafethere’s a good chance they do something with it again, at least that’s what the creator said
something about the sister michael and uncle colm scene kills me every time 😭😭
😂😂😂😂
Some people wake up and choose violence.
James wakes up and violence chooses him.
dead😭
Poor kid 😂
- "I'm actually a boy."
- "OK love."
Xoo,ccpo
Pc mo😅
My favourite dialogue “Miss Mallon, please. Raise your hand if you want to ask a question”. The penguin lady is my favourite character.
PENGUIN LADY!??? HAHAHAHHA
The penguin lady 🤣
I just binged this entire thing and I'm so Glad I had this series during a sad Christmas season. The detention scene in episode 1 had me dying
+Rohan Lawrence when James weed himself because the girls school didn't have a boys toilet.
Had Sister Decoan dying too..
I thought I was going to throw up I laughed so hard the first time I saw that
I _would_ like to state (for the tape) that the scene with Colm coming to the R.U.C. as the girl's (and James') adult should have been included. Also, for the tape, the "funniest scenes" from _Derry_ _Girls_ is essentially the entire programme.
That part with Uncle Colm KILLED me!! I wish I'd had a Colm when I was that age and getting into shenanigans😂
There is no tape
I love uncle Colm! 😄
Michelle's smug face with one arm on Colm's shoulder is one of the best bits of the whole show
There is no tape.
“Sister George. Michael.” 😂
I didn’t get it
@@charzard1000Sisters full name is George Michael but she was known at school as sister Michael.
George Michael was a very popular singer in the 80's. He's the one who sang the popular Last christmas song.
"I'm actually a boy"
"Okay, love"
I just binge-watched this whole show. I’m so sad to have finished it. It was hilarious!
Ill never not think about nicola channeling Nadine Coyle caught lying on camera to get into character 😂
Nadine Coyle should've been in DG.
Love that they got Liam Neeson to guest on the series 😂
Erin : “Are you denying your organisation is prejudiced?”
Tywin Lannister: “Categorically.”
currently rewatching this show for the third time!
one of the best shows ever
"I do enjoy a good statue it has to be said" 😂😂😂
"The hairdresser certainly did." The actress playing the Protestant woman looks like she's trying hard not to laugh at that moment.
"I'm not sticking a scone up me hole, Orla, I'll tell ya that for nothing." 🤣🤣🤣
This show deserved so much more

The penultimate episode made me cheer and cry all in one minute.
"What you do with my razor?!"
I swear to God if my husband could talk to me after I died this is what he'd be saying 😒😒🤣
"Protestants hate abba" always makes me laugh 😂
Who is that
Who can blame them? 😂
I absolutely loved Derry Girls. Wanted more of it!
I love how Sister Michael doesn't take shit from anyone at all and won't hesitate to roast any and everybody 💀💀
My favourite 2 will always be
1) Them being caught stealing from the Dead Nun while James pisses in the corner
2) The Sister on the bus laughing at her book, which is The Exorcist.
This is my favorite show of all time! I wish there were more episodes!
Kevin and his mother need their own spin off show
Holy fecking shite! They do! I can’t wait for season 3 to be released on Netflix. 😹😹

If you have had a shity day watch this its hilarious love the actors 🤣 sooo good 👍

"...the headmistress, one Sister George Michael-"
"-George Michael!?"
(Ron Howard's voiceover) Hey!
😂😂😂Two absolutely fantastic shows
Sarah in the white dress had me SCREAMING. The episode is my favourite. "It's rock the boat...IT'S ROCK THE BOAT!!!!"
The wedding is the absolute laugh fest 😂😂😂
It's a bit depressing that several of them are in their 30s, I'm 38, and there's no flippin' way I'd EVER be cast as a teenager😅
I know how you feel, I’m 38 as well and there’s no chance 😂still feel like a teenager though.

Peep Show has cult status
I.T. Crowd started small but gathered a massive, international following
@@EvevanKaat All three of the main characters in the sitcom Drifters are female, but that's never been popular either.
