the great thing about Derry girls is that the audience doesn't know shit
like, I'm sure if you're an Irish or English viewer you have a bit more context for some of the historical jokes and holidays and the like
but plot threads like James' mother, micelle's brother, and the fact that Erin's sister just sort of exists in the background are barely explained but they don't need to be
because the point of the show isn't to espouse upon every little mystery of Derry, each character's inner turmoil, the backstory of every extra- hell, we don't get much of a backstory for the main characters! I don't think we even meet Michelle's father- and we never see the inside of any of the main five's houses besides Erin
this show is slice of life in its purest form
we are dropped into the first day of school in Derry in season one, and we leave on the day of the vote in season 3, when the girls are thinking about going off to college or university, that's it. we're merely a viewer. these characters aren't performing a show for us, we're peeking into their lives.
anyway its really late and I love Derry girls
