It’s a TV series about a group of teens growing up in Northern Ireland in the 1990s during the Troubles. It’s also laugh-out-loud funny.
We’re talking about the charming, if somewhat irreverent coming-of-age TV show “Derry Girls,” and in this ‘grand’ episode we take you behind the scenes with the whole gang– Erin, Michelle, Orla, Clare, the wee English fella, and even Sister Michael!
What characters and events in “Derry Girls” are based on creator/writer Lisa McGee’s own life? How did it affect “Derry Girls” when a lead cast member landed a role in “Bridgerton” between seasons 2 and 3? How do the storylines blend humor with history? And what happens to the main characters after the show ends, according to Lisa McGee? We discuss all this and more!
