If you haven't watched 'Derry Girls,' you're missing out

From left to right: Clare, Michelle, Erin, Orla, and James from "Derry Girls" (Channel 4/Hat Trick Productions).

"Derry Girls" is one of the funniest TV shows I've ever seen.

The British show is set in Ireland in the '90s as the country navigates the Troubles, but it specifically focuses on four girls from Derry—Erin Quinn (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), Michelle Mallon (Jamie-Lee O'Donnell), Orla McCool (Louisa Harland), and Clare Devlin (Nicola Coughlan)—and their "wee English fella" James Maguire (Dylan Llewellyn) as they navigate their teen years.

Every 30-minute episode is a wacky but still somehow relatable misadventure among the five friends. Whether it's something as small as sneaking out for a concert or something as big as being falsely accused of killing a nun at their Catholic school, the five friends always seem to stumble into trouble.

Erin is an aspiring writer reminiscent of show creator Lisa McGee, Michelle is the one who tends to take charge in the group in pursuit of a good time, Clare is the anxious friend who's always one step away from a Cack attack, Orla is an oddball who marches to the beat of her own drum, and James is the "wee English fella" everyone likes to push around.

I also have to mention their headmistress Sister George Michael (Siobhán McSweeney). Sister Michael, a sarcastic nun who's not sure she even believes in God, is by far one of the comedic highlights of the show.

Likewise, Erin and Orla's family is also featured in most episodes: Erin's parents Mary and Gerry Quinn (Tara Lynne O'Niell and Tommy Tiernan), Orla's mom Sarah McCool (Kathy Kiera Clarke), and their grandfather Joe McCool (Ian McElhinney).

I love the show because it always has me laughing from start to finish, the only exception being when it touches on emotions beyond comedy, like heartbreak, sympathy, and grief.

And audiences seem to agree, especially in Northern Ireland, where the show became the region's most-watched series since modern records started in 2002.

I only have two criticisms with the show:

1. They should've kept the original song for Orla's step routine in the international version.
2. I wish the show wasn't over.

The fact that those are my only two criticisms says a lot about the quality of the show. And "Derry Girls" is also the only show I've been willing to binge watch multiple times in a row, probably due to a combination of quality and short length.

And that's always the best place to leave a show, isn't it? On a high note, with the audience wanting more? And I guarantee if you watch, you'll want more "Derry Girls."

You can watch "Derry Girls" on Netflix if you're in the U.S. or on Channel 4 if you're in the U.K.
