Movie #1895 ........................."Derry Girls" (Season 1)

Movie #1895 "Derry Girls" Season 1, streamed on Netflix --- A friend recommended this to me, and I tried it and really found it quite enjoyable.  It follows 4 catholic teenage  girls in Derry  and their antics with school, boys, their families, etc.  They each have very distinctive traits, and it takes a show or two to get to the point where you feel you know them and can laugh at them in a friendly way.  The show is fast and overdone and takes getting used to the speed, accents, and idioms. Towards the end of season 1, the show starts to get more serious in conveying what it was like to live during the Troubles in Ireland, and that endeared me to it even more.  I would give it 4 out of 5 stars and recommend you watch it with subtitles to help get used to the accent.
