Honestly the reason I started to watch this was because of a RU-vid clip of James going "I'm a Derry girl" and I thought it was a LGBTQ show. But Clare going "I'm not going to be an individual by myself" in episode 1 was the selling point for me.
I live for Clare's chaotic energy Edit: I love her as Penelope too, but whenever someone appreciates Nicola’s character in Bridgerton I always steer them towards Derry Girls to see how unhinged she can truly get.
as a girl who was raised catholic and who descends from people that were colonized by the british, i think this series is incredibly political and i am here for it! love seeing it, have never seen anything quite like it which portrays anti-catholicism and colonialism in such an authentic way
@@isneezealot4315 i am of sri lankan descent, grew up in germany. but it is weirdly similar, and as i said, i think its the fact that my family is catholic and was once opressed by the british, just like the girls in the show
I love this show so damn much. I've watched the first season at least 10 times by now. My favorite part is from the first season when Michelle is explaining Pulp Fiction.
I saw this few days back after becoming a fan of Nicola while watching bridgerton😂😂❤ and Clare is such an icon I wish Derry girls had more seasons 😭😭💕 I am watching it again and again 😂💕
This is why I fell in love with television from the UK when I was barely 5 years old in Canada. There's always such a reality with the characters that even in chaos, you're so invested in the characters that their outburst of emotion seem genuine and you're on board with them no matter what they do. Even the dramas from the 70s and 80s were great. I grew up with Upstairs, Downstairs and All Creatures Great and Small. Piece of Cake had scenes that had to be censored for my younger eyes, but I loved that too. As a lover of all things 90s, this is also fantastic. This is the part of the 90s that I remember. I didn't grow up in Ireland, but the way the characters act I totally identify with. None of them are "nerds," but they're not the cool kids either. They're stuck in that middle range where they barely exist until some bully shows up and tries to make things miserable for them. Having actors and actresses who are a decade or more older than the characters they're playing is par for the course, but while most of the time, that gets really distracting for me, I buy that these are regular, average high school kids. They seem intelligent, but they're not smarter than a teenager should be. Totally believable.
How the subtitles can be wrong? The scrip says jaffa bastard no devil bastard. Is a slur because protestants wear orange in july in derry marching for their win against catholics, and jaffa is literaly a species of the orange fruit. Calling him a jaffa bastard is hilarious man
Still game , toast of london and Derry girls are all great shows on netflix. Alas still game has ended but I'm hoping for new seasons from the other two.
WAIT TF UP I JUST REALIZE THAT NICOLA COUFHLAN FROM BRIDGERTON AND CLAIRE FROM DERRY GIRLSE ARE THE SAME BEING WTF IS WRONG WITH ME , SHE ISSSSSSSS AN INCREDIBLE ACTRESS THE WAY THEY ZRE SOO DIFFERENT THAT I DIDN'T EVEN ASSOCIATE ONE WITH ANOTHER THAT IS WILD ( I AM ALSO A DUMBAS* ) BUT SHE IS SOOO TALENTED
