Dearest reader,
I implore you to witness the beauty that is Nicola Couglan as Claire Devlin in the Channel 4 sitcom Derry Girls. The U.S. fandom may not be as familiar with this gem of series, but do not lose hope! You can find the series on Netflix!

Okay but after watching Derry Girls season 3 episode 5 again I am just absolutely blown away by how great that episode was and I need to yell into the void about it!!
The content? Absolutely. Fan. Fecking. Tastic. Hilarious as always. 1000/10
Tara Lynne O’Niell yelling “Jeanette! Jeanette! Jeanette! Jeanette!” across a ballroom to get the attention of somebody who snubbed her? 100/10 Would die for Ma Mary.
The casting? ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! They did an such a phenomenal job of creating the younger versions of the Derry Girls’ mothers while also mimicking the Derry Girls so perfectly! I seriously can’t get over some of the mannerisms and phrases that they perfected! They deserve some kind of award! 10000/10
The costume design? Outstanding. 100/10
The emotional element of understanding that our mothers were likely exactly like us, that they had the same type of dreams and hopes that we do and were once just young girls trying to live their life to the fullest? To CRY for. 10000000/10

While Orla is my favourite Derry Girl, I think Michelle is one of the best ever TV depictions of a teenager.
The way her face drops from furious bravado to utter panic at betrayal (2.06 and 3.04). Well, what she sees as betrayal, because McGee is so skilled at making the selfish, self-centred, self-pitying, self-righteous, self-obsessiveness of her teenage characters not get in the way of making them sympathetic and loveable, and their problems matter. The speed of the way Michelle U-turns from being cocky and tough, to being scared of isolation. She has to be the life of the party because she's afraid that if she isn't, she won't be invited. It's a masterclass in character writing.
