The third and final season of “Fetele din Derry” arrived on Friday, and with it the wind of change: the heroines are approaching the end of high school, and the process of reconciliation in Northern Ireland reaches its climax with the Good Friday referendum ( Friday).

Derry knows that people will never see their lives unfold before a much more important background event. This is how local shenanigans and shenanigans are intertwined with international conflicts, to the delight of the audience.

“Derry” remains as lively and funny as the first seasons, warm and intelligent at the same time. That it’s only 19 short episodes in total is a real television tragedy, but it makes the reunion all the more appealing from the get-go.

Consider a lot of modern comedies too meandering and washed up, so watch this one if you want something really real.

It’s also a special case that film critics and subscribers are equally enthusiastic about: 99% and 96% respectively! Throw in a rare 8.5/10 on IMDb and wonder why you haven’t seen The Derry Girls before, even though The British Girl is a recommendation for both series in its own right.

“It’s hard to say goodbye to these girls because we feel like old friends, but it’s been a real pleasure,” says Kate Rosseynski, chief critic of London’s Evening Standard.
