The New York Times

Every subject, be it personal or political, is mined for irreverent comedy.

The Guardian

If you aren’t already watching, then catch yourself on.

The Times

Even when not quite at its best it is still whip-smart and cheerfully uplifting, with one-liners coming like gunfire.

Paste

From the opening moments of the pilot episode, it’s frankly hysterical...

The Irish Times

It’s been described as an “Inbetweeners for clever girls” – which is good enough for us.

Entertainment Weekly

Deftly balancing silliness with sincerity is a skill, and it’s one at which McGee excels.

Sydney Morning Herald

It's sweet, sassy and very funny.

Decider

The jokes fly quickly, but they’re sharp, and some of them reward viewers paying attention.

Vox

At its best, Derry Girls hits the emotional intersection of cringe, earnestness, and slapstick.

Hollywood Reporter
