Im glad people are finally watching this show. I started the original Derry Girls thread and bumped it for season 2 and got very few responses.

him constantly tying up with the son in law over every last little thing is a low key hilarious part of the show. I mean, over anything.

Just watched both seasons thanks to this thread. Fantastic recommendation.

Unfortunately season 3 will drop in the summer 2020.

The actress who plays Michelle is 31.

The actress who plays Erin is actually from Derry

Wow, I thought for sure the actress who played Clare was the youngest of the lot.

Such a great show. Orla is freaking hilarious.

When she was drawing a pic of Michelle's cousin instead of writing a poem and she used a red pen "because she ran out of blue", and he says "my eyes are brown". She starts crying and says "now you tell me". I died laughing.

Exactly what I was coming to post. Easily my favorite character. Even when she is just in the background she is doing something that makes me laugh.

Love the show. I will say the main actress is way over the top in a lot of her scenes. Big time overacting from her.

Great show. I've watched the first 10 episodes now because of this thread. I do want to say though that Letterkenny on Hulu (also named after the town the show takes place in) is the funniest thing on any streaming service.

I believe that's the point. Even with that she's still the most relatable so it must be working.

Felt more like an actress thing than it being scripted that way. Just a personal nitpicking thing for me. Still love the show.

She’s the most relatable character because she’s the straight man. Don’t see how this is relevant to my opinion of her overacting.

I caught on due to this thread and blew through all of the episodes in no time. Finished the last episode last night. Hilarious show. Sister Michael is the best!

Is this family friendly? Like could my wife and I watch it with our teenagers?

Are you comfortable watching a show with your teenagers where the teenagers on the show talk about wanting to get fingered?
