Derry Girls - Channel 4

[bennydorano]

Another vote for Episode 2,. I'm not a huge fan but that Episode was  very funny. Episode 3 wasn't as strong but it was OK.

[Tony Baloney]

Episode 1 shit
Episode 2 very good
Episode 3 okay

+1. Last weeks was definitely a high point.

Does anyone think there is a lot of repetitive stuff from father Ted?

Yes..... see next post on Kevin McAleer. It's just a rip off of Father Austin Purcell IMO.

In fairness it's watchable, has some genuinely funny moments but it's not ground breaking. It is heavily influenced by stuff like father ted but that in itself is not a bad thing as it lures us in with the nostalgia. Nobody complains that stranger things just rips off/borrows form every 80s movie, in fact we expect it at this stage 😀

Wifey was gigglin away at ep2 deffo the best so far. Will it go down as one if the top twenty comedies ever? No

Is it enjoyable all the same with plenty of laughs with a nice throwback to an era plenty of us remember, good tunes, few good local celebs like mcaleer and tiernan etc, while being levels above Give my Head Peace and Mrs Browns Boys? yes 😊

Jesus we are wile harsh on ourselves, the Irish that is.. It's a bitta craic and light entertainment. Very rare will you get belly laughs now on tv and if you do its from the 70's and you aint suppose to be laughing

You are starting from a low bar there. Two shows I cannot abide. Give my Head Peace is at least 20 if not 30 years past its sell-by date. Utter utter shite. And Mrs Browns Boys is about as funny as a kick to the stones.

Derry Girls like most other shows has its moments and while it is not comedy gold or won't be remembered as a classic is still a decent effort.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

So we agree! 😃

So we agree! 😃

Tyrone Boys is going to be the next big thing...

[imtommygunn]

Mrs Browns boys is embarrassing - it's utter shite. Give my head peace does have the odd funny thing in it.

[screenexile]

Tyrone Boys is going to be the next big thing...

We've already had that and I'm pretty sure we can all agree it was horrific.

"There's no place like Tyrone"

Well thank f**k there isn't one's more than enough!!

Remarkably that got a second season.

I am risking a 2 year ban with  Ziggysbigego as mod, but in my opinion Mrs Brown's boys is sitcom class. I don't watch it as a habit but whenever I happen upon an episode I'm impressed by the the staging, the acting, the corny dialogue, corny jokes, the blatant character stereotyping and ridiculing of same.
