The Channel 4/Netflix sitcom Derry Girls is a heartwarming and funny coming-of-age story revolving around a group of teenagers growing up in the aftermath of an ethnic-nationalist conflict in the 1990s. For those unacquainted with Irish history, Derry and other settlements in Northern Ireland were severely affected by ‘the Troubles’ that emerged out of debates over Northern Ireland’s constitutional status. Hence, it wouldn’t come as a surprise that despite its cheery characters, Derry Girls has its share of dark comedy with satirical undertones.
