Derry Girls, series 2.

· Posted: 05.03.2019 · #1

Channel 4 @ 9:15 tonight.
Anyone watch it?

They’ve got the attitude and the slang perfect......
good himour but a bit ‘colourful’ and descriptive at times.
Still, good alternative comedy from C4 and worth a watch & a giggle.

Not my cup of tea.

But if people enjoy it good luck to them.

Very funny and well observed, I was a bit sceptical about wether a second series could live up to the first, but it is off to a good start. God help anybody not from round these parts who haven’t got the ear for the speed and ‘regional’ accent. Even down here in Newcastle Co. Down I missed a few bits, still good excuse to watch it again. The nun is the star in my book!

Haven't watched any of the show yet but must download the first season. A lot of folk's say it's very funny alright.

It is funny, crude, but it’s slapstick funny.
Accents and dialect with use of localisms may make it difficult for people to understand.
Lisa McGee’s style of writing really gets the characters and area pretty spot on.
Some funny characters alright.... Dennis from the shop is good....
“You’ll do chores, what the f*£k do you think this is, little house on the prairie... GET OUT”
But Saoirse-Monica Jackson who plays lead character Erin is excellent.

I think series 2 will be as good.
Fun watching.

Watched the first series again to get back into it for the new series. Didnt think new episode was just as good but hope overall new series is as good if not better.. The characters are brilliant.
