TV review: Derry Girls, C4
In fact forget I ever mentioned trying to avoid mentioning Mrs Brown's Boys. Apart from the domestic inter-generational family banter there is little similarity here. It isn't even set in the same place. And there's another difference. Derry Girls is funny.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 4th January 2018Derry Girls, episode 1 review
As much a black comedy about the Troubles as a teenage nostalgia fest.
Ed Power, The Telegraph, 4th January 2018Derry Girls preview
