DERRY GIRLS 1x1 REACTION & REVIEW! | Netflix

[@rossloughran6213]

As an Irishman, and as someone who's seen seen this series a couple of times, don't think I've clicked on a video as fast

[@iceprincess2134]

I loved Moon Boy as well. Sad that it was discontinued.

[@Irishrover101]

This channel gets a lot of viewz so its great to see Derry girls gets more people watching that never seen before only because i feel its a brilliant show and who ever wrote it has great wit and humour. And I would like to see them do other shows

[@liamgilmartin466]

I've just started watching it about a week ago my favourite character is the nun

[@Omglod2486]

Saaaaame!! I love that Derry Girls is getting international views! It’s also a comfort watch for me, we’ve been rewatching it at Christmas as a family and I think it’s going to be a new family tradition!

[@snakesnoteyes]

My family is US liberal Catholic and my sister in law is Catholic Irish- not American Irish Catholic, this show is hilarious

[@isabellagonzalez5695]

There is literally no bad episode of Derry Girls, in any of the seasons. It's a fantastic show. I've re-watched it so many times lol.

[@McDevittMike]

I watched it twice one after the other.

[@Remarkable269]

true

[@deanmaynard8256]

Derry Girls is so well written and acted.

[@drewc981]

Oh NO WAY! You HAVE to continue this series. Seriously one of the best comedies of the last decade at least. Pro-tip, it's not really necessary to understand the show but I would suggest doing some reading on the conflict in Northern Ireland if you're unfamiliar. It might help with certain background context of the time and circumstances these young people and their families are living in. Once you get to season 3, read about the Belfast Good Friday Agreement. It's the document which helped put an end to the 30 year conflict in Northern Ireland. Apologies for the long comment, I'm just a Canadian who is very interested in this particular subject and time period and this show is so good and so much more than just that historical context.

[@artspooner]

As a Canadian, how did you become interested in the Northern Ireland conflict, if you don't mind me asking?

[@drewc981]

@@artspooner That's a really good and complicated question. I had seen movies in high school such as Michael Collins and In the name of the Father and didn't think much else about my own ancestry until 2016 when my grandmother on my fathers side died. Now, she was of Scottish ancestry but her husband, my grandfather had parents who were Irish and they both met serving in the RCAF during WW2 and I started looking at my mothers side whom my great grandfather was born in 1900 in Cookstown Tyrone. Now when my grandmother died I latched onto Irish trad and Irish contemporary music and some of that involves Irish as a language to deal with the grief and naturally that lead to more learning about Irish history including the Northern Irish conflict. I've been trying to learn some Irish on Duolingo fot almost a year now Edit, not ti mention Derry Girls is a wicked shoe

[@artspooner]

@@drewc981 ahh, I see. Thanks for taking the time to reply!

[@drewc981]

[@opiedopie]

as someone from ireland, it's great to see that you have a really good understanding of the troubles!

[@meliprincexx_peach]

This is how girl groups actually are and I’m glad it’s a female focused comedy

[@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797]

In an interview Lisa McGee basically said we've seen comedies about guys being dicks so it was about time to see some girls being dicks. 😅

Love her so much

Also going to be in Christmas 2024 Doctor Who

[@Andy-ju8bb]

I love Sister Michael. She's just not what you expect when you think of a nun.

[@jiminiecricket9034]

The Cranberries are an Irish band from the era that this show is set. Almost all of their songs are about the political climate of the time... extremely relevant.

[@TheMellowGrenade]

The soundtrack across this series is incredible!, there's a great Derry Girls spotify playlist that has them all

[@marigoldshower5440]

An Indian girl here who went to a Convent Girls School like the Derry girls, I enjoyed the show so much: really laughed my relatable ass off through this.

[@ericb9252]

4:51 She was talking about Pulp Fiction. This show takes place in the 90s

[@DazHotep6EQUJ5]

As a half Irish and half English man, I am ashamed to admit I haven't seen this show but I will most definitely have to watch it now. From what I gather from clips I have seen, this show will strike a cord for me that hasn't been done before. Grew up surrounded by Irish people having an English accent and family I was the target of an unhealthy amount of bullying and as I have gotten older I understand why. Doesn't justify it but it definitely makes it funnier knowing about the history between Ireland and England. This show seems to know exactly how to ride the line and looks hilarious.

[@kingsora6352]

Absolutely go for it ,it's gold

[@silverkyre]

You're gonna relate so much to poor James

[@sydastark]

Probably be a great show to relate to and laugh through the trauma healing . It’s one of my favorites

[@louiseburke8012]

PLEAASE Get your Irish passport. You have been born into gold!

[@jenniferbaumgarden9293]

The movie Michelle was talking about is Pulp Fiction. I LOVE this show! It was set in the same years in the 90s that I went to high school, so all the music and movie references are so cool!

[@AlexSadof]

2 lads wearing crackin' suits who rock about shooting people and eating cheeseburgers. It's got your man in it. The disco dancer from Look Who's Talking....lol.

[@snigdhagarde]

me too thinks pulp fiction … that was the first mivie that came to my mind

[@zg1000dru1]

4:59---she's talking about Pulp Fiction. 2 guys, craicing suits who shoot people...Jules and Vincent

[@thecircledk8597]

As a Derry man now (44) this was my era and I can tell you the griefing and slagging was part and parcel of growing up... and what people fail to realize sometimes is that she treats James the same way as she treats everyone else... she's always digging at Clare and Erin AND James...no one digs on Orla (because she is the heart)

[@myafelicia]

I LOVE Derry Girls. By far the best comedy TV-series in years! Keep watching!!!

[@stature2260]

I’m from Derry!! So happy you guys are enjoying this so far, and my hometown humour🇮🇪 hope you continue watching!

[@xdami4nx]

The Nun is one of the best characters i hope you continue this series.

[@TheCarlocaroline]

Oh I love her! She's brilliant!

[@Solarsystemrdffdfyyhh]

And Dennis. Awesome show perfectly written!

[@mral8145]

The Bobby Sands joke is so underrated! 😂. Need to know your recent Irish history to get that one!

[@SaundersBoy]

Aye, I was like "oh no she didnt" 🤣

[@jam9837]

what joke

[@mral8145]

@@jam9837 Michelle tell Erin “take Bobby sands with ye”. She was referring to Claire who was fasting for charity. Bobby sands went on hunger strike whilst in prison.

[@llorona7847]

One of my favorite jokes from the entire series is in this episode. Michelle’s revelation that James was supposed to be aborted is low key great writing. James’ face when he hears it is fantastic. The subtle facial expressions and acting choices by our main cast 🤌🏼

[@TheCarlocaroline]

Very funny. The two guys above watching the clips didn't know what to do with their faces came she said that. 😅😅😅

[@CameronJamesPhillips]

I love this show so much since it first came to Netflix. The setting is in the early 90s during The Troubles in Ireland. Derry is also where the conflict began decades prior when the soldiers opened fire on unarmed citizens. So that's the setting here. It's so hilarious, the show. The film Michelle is talking about, I believe, is Pulp Fiction. The girl who plays Erin, I think it was, is actually from Derry herself. Looking forward to you guys watching the rest of this

[@dominicsmalley9394]

This brings so much joy to my heart. To see these types of smaller lesser known UK shows being reacted to by large creators is such a joy.

[@adriand9656]

I did not expect this at all, but it’s VERY MUCH WELCOMED. Love this show!

[@leah-simonemua8775]

'Keening' is the vocalisation you hear at the end of the song, and is traditionally Irish and Scottish. It's a melodic wailing led by women in mourning of the dead.

[@micahsnow346]

I’m always pushing reactors to watch this show, it’s hilarious and so underrated

[@fiImedeterror]

this is such a good surprise, derry girls is incredible!!!!

[@williamburnham3659]

The second episode introduces Uncle Colm. No spoilers but he is brilliant

[@JordiVanderwaal]

NO WAY YOU'RE REACTING TO DERRY GIRLS. Okay I was having a rough week (month, year, life lol) but this more than makes up for it. You'll love it. I hope. It's the funniest thing I've seen on Netflix so far.

[@rb2157]

Pretty sure the movie Michelle is telling us about just having watched when we first meet her is Pulp Fiction-- "two guys wearing cracking suits, shooting people and eating cheeseburgers."

[@ericisprobablyfullofshit7797]

And the disco dancer from Look Who's Talking is John Travolta.

[@anusree8221]

I happened to accidentally watch this series on Netflix and decided to watch because of Nicola Coughlan. Ended up becoming a fan and watching the series till the final season. Glad you guys are reacting to this😁

[@samirabouyachi4432]

Me too first I started watching it because of Nicola and now I'm just addicted to the show 🤣

[@plaster.art.ho3]

same!! i just like nicola couglan and recognize siobhan smtg bt the show has me hoookedd omg.

[@CanadaDan]

Derry Girls is one of my favorite shows, it has everything in it, lots of comedy, historic moments, heartwarming moments, suspense n a big celeb cameo appearance even. Looking forward to watch your reactions to Derry Girls

[@lupeportela]

Derry Girls is so amazing and funny and so original, as who didn't know what had happened the context of that time is so exciting and so well thought-out.

[@Dej24601]

The music is one of the great assets of the show. Apparently a few songs didn’t have the rights to air on Netflix and were changed but most all of them are from the original soundtrack.

[@rdale2k5]

The movie Michelle was talking about at the beginning of the episode was probably "Pulp Fiction" It was released about the same time as this series is set (mid 90's)

[@Kelyaakakiki]

So happy you guys watched this. My favorite comfort show

[@amberbe849]

This is one of my favorite shows! I'm so glad you all are reviewing it. You'll find yourself really enjoying each character all for different reasons but Sister Michael has gotta be my fave. Her one liners are fantastic! The actors in the show always just feel real to me. Not only is it funny but when they start talking more about the troubles in Northern Ireland you feel how its really affecting their lives. I think you'll really enjoy the whole series.

[@hypertwink]

I can’t wait for you to watch Sister Michael get going. 😂

[@lizmil]

She is my favorite. One of the nuns who taught me is a bit like her, although not as funny.

[@onlineuser252]

i genuinely wish i could experience this show for the first time

[@mansishukla6779]

I'm so glad you guys are reacting to this show! It's amazing! I hope you keep reacting to it because it just gets better every season. The creator has also done a wonderful job of balancing the teenage angsty story lines with the serious issue of the conflict in Northern Ireland at the time. Plus, Sister Michael is the GOAT.

[@nager1997]

I stumbled across this show a few months back on Netflix’s. I was in stitches by the end of the first episode. Can’t wait for series 3 to be available on Netflix

[@TheClairem75]

This is the first time I’ve seen anyone react to Derry Girls. It’s so good, especially the very last episode. I also was in a convent school in the 90s but in England and remember the Troubles well.

[@Dej24601]

I think the film that Michelle is referring to is “Pulp Fiction,” since the show is set in the early/mid 90’s, and she mentions about them eating cheeseburgers in the movie, sort of a reference to Travolta’s iconic line about “Cheese Royale.”

[@VinE83656]

I loved this show. I avoided it for a while but now I’ve watched to three times already.

[@AriaIsara]

This was vaguely on my radar but I finally checked it out because I saw you were reacting to it and this pilot was just hilarious! The girl whose facial expressions you loved, I don't remember the name of the actress but she in currently in Bridgerton in a serious role and she's really good.

[@plaster.art.ho3]

omg im from sea and know so little about european history and only watched this becuz of nicola coughlan and i was HOOKED frm start to finish! It's so brilliantly funny, engaging and interesting and i LOVE how they contrasted the serious issues going on what w the political climate of that time, like wow!

[@katiekolenko97]

Oh my gosh I have never seen someone react to this, but I am SO excited! This became such a comfort show for me, I absolutely love it. Loved the video (totally agree about the show nailing the identities of each character in this one episode), can't wait to continue with you!

[@survive.with.Sravs.]

This is a video I keep revisiting….just loving how much Jaby loves the show😂

[@emarjamaa2276]

I live in the US, but went to an all girls Catholic school in the 90s so this show is one of my absolute favorites. I have watched and rewatched it. I was so excited to see someone reacting to it. You won't be disappointed. There's a definite shift in season 3. COVID messed with the filming of it and I think the show took on a more serious tone, but the first two seasons are amazing and the 3rd is very good.

[@mradriankool]

Michelle talking about Pulp Fiction is brilliant as she references “look who’s talking” which would the girls exposure to John Travolta. It’s so beautifully written with the def nods to the 90’s

This is a GREAT show. I have watched it three times. The funny thing is that I am spanish 😅 but I can totally understand the nuns school stuff, parenting in the 90's and how we acted as teens those days. I also remember how much we loved (and we still loving) The Cranberries (it's sad but beautiful hearing them in so many episodes) and how interested we were in Ireland politics and news (as north spaniards). Honestly, this show makes my year the first time I saw it, and I enjoy it every single time I rewatch!
