    We enjoyed Derry Girls so much and through its touching portrayal of some extremely difficult times using humor as a vehicle we were motivated to investigate the troubles more. As Americans we were exposed to a very stripped down version of events and came to respect Ireland and all of its layers of wonderful complexity and culture. So thanks very much for the show and to these amazing young ladies for their work.

    A brilliant show to be had .. even if I was late to the party. So many resilient characters are born and raised through the most turbulent times… yes, it does build grit and resourceful people… but know we are in times where humans have been here on the planet so long… mental health.. real and serious mental health issues are rampant and the tipping scale cannot be gleaned back to more healthier times.. even if we had and know the right answers and responses. Derry Girls through its dark and hilarious comedic geniuses and crew.. allow , I hope , some cathartic healing, while being able to shine a light on the past , in the event to not have it repeated. We all need some inner peace to thrive to our potential . 😊Love a good mural !

      @@dj3114 So according to you Northern Ireland is in Britain because Scotland is? lol. Geography not your strong suit is it. There's no debate to be had around this, love. Ireland is not Britain, and Northern Ireland is not in Britain. End of. The UK is called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Notice how Northern Ireland is not included in Great Britain. Because it 👏is👏not👏in👏Britain. Do we need to draw you a map??
