‘Derry Girls’
It’s the week leading up to St. Patrick’s Day, and there’s no better way to get in the spirit than with a little Derry Girls. The beloved Irish comedy, streaming on Netflix, follows four girls from Derry, Northern Ireland (and the English fella they’re forced to hang out with) as they awkwardly navigate their teenage years toward the end of The Troubles. Erin, Orla, Clare, Michelle, and James often find themselves in absurd (but endlessly relatable) situations in their love, family, and school lives that they have to hilariously find ways out of. Derry Girls is responsible for gems like “don’t come out, go back in” and the infamous Catholics vs. Protestants blackboard. With just 19 short episodes, Derry Girls is a bite-sized delight; you’ll find that you’ve watched an entire season without even realizing it.
