I love Derry Girls, and I am a middle aged Aussie woman.
The show has universal themes.
Growing up, enjoying bands you love, fighting with your family, going to school, etc.
Not to mention the bloody head prefect.
The Irish phrases are acted in such a way that you can understand what they all mean. I constantly tell my loved ones to “catch yourself on”.
The 90s are my favourite decade for music. The music used by the show resonates with me.
Lots of reasons why it works.

To Louisa Harland: Thank you for such a wonderful show. Obviously Derry Girls is the collaborative effort of many, but to me you are over and over the very best part. You brought me smiles, laughter and tears when I needed them the most. Thank you

At 5:08 it’s so adorable how Louisa was getting a bit nervous to hear if the video was gonna be critical about her accent and how relieved she was to hear it was praised 🥺❤️

[@witchothewood455]

Orlan is my absolute FAVORITE Derry Girl!

[@AndréVilaFranca]

I absolutely love DERRY GIRLS. I hope it goes on for quite a while. I can't wait for season 3.

[@janetclaireSays]

Love Derry Girls and Louisa Harland as 'Orla'!
My son-in-law worked with Woody Harrelson too - and went to a pub with him 🤣 He has the same opinion of him.

[@jeredalmeida1880]

Loving this show from way across the pond. (USA) Not only is Louisa a brilliant comedic actress; she's also beautiful. I grew up in Boston and spent some time in Ireland so she embodies my definition of the
'girl next door'. The world needs more funny ladies like her.

[@maestroclassico5801]

She sounds nothing like Orla in real life! How awesome! Her voice seems deeper.

[@Argeaux2]

She doesn’t have a Derry accent.
Also she is much older than the Orla character.

[@maestroclassico5801]

@@Argeaux2 They're ALL older than their characters. Nicola is around 33-34 here.

[@RoZita870]

I effing love that show!

[@kindnessfirst9670]

Arguably the best written comedy show ever- and I don't just mean the jokes.

[@daviddowney7703]

She's brilliant

[@ly9386]

This shows amazing I wish they had season 2 and 3 in England

[@aidan6998]

You can find Season 2 on Channel 4 On-Demand, Season 3 hasn't aired yet.

[@lizdrouin9588]

She's beautiful, in a " girl next door way"... love her ..

[@morbidsearch]

I didn't know she was from the Republic. I thought only Claire's actress wasn't from the North

"My father is from Belfast"
- Where's your father from?
???????

[@gearoid9835]

He meant where abouts in Belfast is her father from.
