Девчонки из Дерри Episode #1.1 (2018– ) watch online HD

Derry Girls takes a retro look at family and school life in the mid 1990s. The opening track is a Cranberries song.

It is an energetic dark comedy set in Londonderry when the Troubles were still rife but a ceasefire was around the corner.

The teenagers in this corner of life would not know that a ceasefire was about to happen. A bomb scare has caused traffic chaos. Even the school bus has an inspection done by some soldiers.

Sixteen year old Erin wakes up in the morning to find her cousin Orla reading parts of her diary and gets annoyed. Erin's friend Michelle is hyped up after watching Pulp Fiction. Michelle's cousin James is going to be a pupil in their Catholic all girl's school because he is English. It is for his own protection but as James is about to find out, he has no where to go for a pee.

It was an energetic and chaotic first episode but not much of a plot. My teenage son already watched the whole first series, I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about.

I can see teenagers would enjoy this. I doubt many of them who do not live in Northern Ireland will even know much about the Troubles. I wonder if my lad got the Macualy Culkin gag about him trying to divorce his parents.

Older viewers would approach this differently. The Troubles were not much of a laughing matter but it is interesting to see people in Northern Ireland trying to live an ordinary life. There was a diverse soundtrack which at times overpowered the episode.
