Last year, Netflix blessed us with a short, six-episode series, with episodes lasting only twenty minutes long, called 'Derry Girls.' The show follows five Northern Irish Catholic teens in the midst of the Irish Troubles in the 90s. While the conflict is a major underlying theme throughout the series, the main episode-to-episode conflicts deal with just being a normal teenager.

The series was a Channel 4 original, which meant that before it came to Netflix, it was only available in certain regions, the US not being one of them. The hilarious show got so popular, first in Northern Ireland and the UK, then in the US, that it was renewed for a second season. However, US fans had to wait a very long time for that second season to film, air on Channel 4, and finally, after several very long months, US fans got to finally enjoy the second installment when it came to Netflix on August 2nd.

The second season was also made up of six, twenty-minute-long episodes, but though they are short, they are filled with hilarious content.

** MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD**

While the show is a comedy, and the characters are a mess, the series also deals with some pretty serious topics. Of course, some of those include the Irish Conflict and Catholics vs. Protestants. The first season ended with Breaking News of a deadly bombing and in the second season, the characters join "Friends Across The Barricade."

For those who don't know, during the Irish Troubles, Derry was split up into Derry, being the Catholic section, and Londonderry, the Protestant section. The two sections were separated with quite literally walls and barricades.

The series also introduces an LBGTQ+ character at the end of its first season. Or rather, the LGBTQ+ character introduced themselves when they came out to their friend group. It still being the 90s and the characters being Catholic, it came as quite a shock to some of them, but in the end, they accepted them for who they are. While the topic was not a huge plotline in the second season, fans (or I was, at least) were pleased to see the characters donning rainbow pins in solidarity with their friend.

The second season ended with the coming of the ceasefire in the Irish Conflict, but what does that exactly mean for the Derry Girls? Of course, just because there's no longer a conflict, doesn't mean that there still aren't the troubles of being a teenager. Luckily for fans, the series was renewed for a third season. Unfortunately, as the article sources Nicole Coughlin's Tweet, the cast won't be filming until 2020, and it won't be coming to Netflix US for even longer.

Until then, fans will just have to continue rewatching the first two seasons of the beloved show. After all, each season only takes two hours to binge through, anyway.
