Has Derry Girls jumped the shark?

The latest episode of Derry Girls received mixed response from fans on social media leaving us asking - is the hit comedy show starting to flop?

Belfast Telegraph, 13th March 2019

Judith Roddy blazes through this episode as Ms De Brún, an iconoclastic new English teacher who rides into town to unlock the girls' inner fiery poets. While the younger generation are baring their souls, smudging their eyeliner and getting into red wine ("It tastes a bit like blood!"), the elders are off to the pictures to be baffled by The Usual Suspects. This is premium sitcom, metronomically doling out a laugh every 10 seconds with apparently no effort. Perfect.

Jack Seale, The Guardian, 12th March 2019

Derry Girls episode 2, review

Iconoclastic sitcom that deserves its growing reputation.

Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 12th March 2019
