4.5/5
Created by Lisa McGee, the period setting may be deeply specific in this autobiographical comedy, but the underlying truths are universal: adolescence is a time of sudden extremes, bad ideas, and hopeless loyalty. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 03/18/2021
Original, imaginative, hilarious and offering a very different perspective on the period of The Troubles -- from the point of view of teenage girls -- it's unmissable. Go to Full Review Michael Hogan Daily Telegraph (UK) 11/26/2019
4/5
Skilfully blending fact with fiction, the personal and political, the nostalgic with the thoroughly modern, [Lisa] McGee's creation has been acutely observed yet uproariously funny. Go to Full Review Aaron Phillips But Why Tho? A Geek Community 01/22/2023
10/10
The final episode really hit me hard in the emotions, and I’m still reeling about it as I sit here and write this review, and while I won’t spoil it, once you watch it, you’ll be calling yourself a Derry Girl too. Go to Full Review Alex Diedrick Uproxx 11/11/2021
It's funny and heartfelt and manages to weave the terror and trauma of living in a war-zone with the normal angst and adventures of teenagedom. Go to Full Review Peter Crawley Irish Times 11/26/2019
But who could feel unmoved to see the group once again turning their back on history to huddle together under a thrift-store stars and stripes that is missing 30 or so of its stars? Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sam M. @Longleaf666 Feb 24 Loved it so much! Hilarious! See more Sanny R @RT29148641 Jan 30 New comfort show ✨️ See more THE NASHVILLE I @Nshvlleindie Jun 19 One of the funniest shows of the 20's follows up it's slam dunk with a grand slam. As funny as ever, the show somehow manages to raise it's quality of humor at the same time as it raises it's emotional warmth. The finale is truly a work of art that will pull out tears of joy from even the coldest of souls. See more Kim O @KimmOh Jun 1 This show is a must see. THIS is how you make excellent television. Hilariously funny and heartbreaking all at once. The cast is on point, the writing is brilliant…it’s just a fun ride. I wish they’d do a reunion!!
