Irish comedy Derry Girls may have ended in 2022, but it's still a classic and one of the most beloved shows in recent years. Focus on the lives of four girls from Derry – and one English cousin – the award-winning show is both hilarious and heartwarming. Season 3 was the last, but you can watch every episode of Derry Girls online free now.
The show explores a lot of themes, big and small, through the lives of Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), Orla (Louisa Harland), Clare (Nicola Coughlan) and Michelle (Jamie-Lee O'Donnell) as they experience the Troubles in Ireland – the show is set in the 1990s – and life as a teenager at a Catholic girls' school.
