What I love about Erin is that, strictly speaking, she’s actually an author avatar of the show’s creator Lisa McGee but she avoids all the Mary Sue traps by being just as flawed as the other girls yet still well intentioned and rational enough to be likeable. Lisa McGee not only avoided idealising her teenage self but if anything, she likely exaggerated her flaws for comedy. Erin Quinn is an author avatar as protagonist done right.
she didn’t exaggerate her flaws. She’s a teenager. They’re not good at things and stupid. Also take into account the time period, they’re anxious and burdened with harsh political climate. What does being a “mary sue” have to do with anything?
Saoirse Monica Jackson is so amazing in Derry Girls. Not only are her delivery, voice and expressions hilarious, but even the way she walks cracks me up. Love this show!
4:41 Her face when her grandad said “Struck down in her prime.” conveys equal parts of disbelief, outrage, and confusion to perfection. I’m fucking wheezing. 😂😂😂
4:32 was the moment I noticed Saoirse-Monica Jackson is a talent, and I fell in love with her at 4:59. Not only is her face extremely expressive, she also has an equally expressive voice. In fact, I tried to catch every minute of her to see what kind of expression she's doing next. Talk about a scene stealer - she definitely gets your attention.

Many people have known or are an Erin, in that she has high ambitions for herself, yet she has an inflated sense of her importance. Her arrogance may be staggering, but it can also be relatable and comical!😂
can i just say how i love how the whole group follows one another no matter what xD when jenny asked erin to leave the party they all just followed and when erin went chasing toto for no reason they all started running with her 😂😂 i want friends like that !
"Jesus Christ GET DOWN EVERYBODY GET DOWN" lmaoooo I lose it everytime 🤣 The way she folds herself and slides under the table is one of the funniest things I've ever seen
What a lovely tv serie. Every main character is so unique, they are all graceful in their own way. Series from the U. S. are none like this one, I think. I've recently finished watching Derry Girls on Netflix. Greetings from Cuenca, Ecuador.
Erin might not be the most likable person in the series but she is the most likable character for me. She is so cute and funny. Something about her is so real to me. 💕
I don’t really think that’s true, most Irish people have English relatives or have spent some time in England. Likewise, UK citizens are the second largest minority group in the Republic of Ireland. What we in Ireland don’t like is how the British establishment historically treated Ireland, or how little consideration many Brexiters have for the negative impact of UK withdrawal on the island of Ireland. But these are rather specific issues which don’t necessarily reflect on the British people as a whole.
@@TheLastAngryMan01 I think it's safe to assume that Northern Irish nationalists have much, much, much stronger feelings about the British than people in RoI
Chingiz Zhylkybayev Of course. I didn’t grow up with being harassed on my way to town, having the local GAA pitch requisitioned by the army or having my relatives murdered by loyalists put up to it by the security forces, unlike nationalists in NI. But nuance is still a thing.
I like how her and orla, actually all the kids, did really inherrit some traits from their parents yet aren't just copies either. Like Erin is just like her ma the center of the group and is kinda fiery while she gets her level headedness from both parents, Orla is just as wacky as her mom and both march the sound of their own drum while being a lil...dumb, and michelle is just as no nonsense as her mom, claire is also a nervous wreck like her mom and james is also kinda materialistic and posh like his mom. This show has absolutely amazing character writing
My favorite will always be when she slid down the chair at the diner yelling hysterically! I couldn't stop laughing for minutes. This show is absolutely bonkers I love it!
@@ersofrescht4661 I've never had my ancestry confirmed officially, but I've always believed I am, and have had an affinity for Ireland and the Irish for as long as I can remember. I've never gotten around to learning the original language, though. It's something I want to do before I die.

@@maxnorton1209 thanks for sharing. It's a male's name. I am nowhere near Irish. I am from the Philippines. I just referenced the humor shown from the show. 😁 although, I enjoy and relate to their humor at a soul level so I might be Irish in some way 😂
Nice little background moment; when Erin, "acting naturally", spontaneously bursts out laughing, Clare jumps and starts looking around in confusion to see what she's laughing at.
"Jesus Christ! Get down! Everybody get down!" I am in fucking stitches!! This is definitely the best part of the whole show! Jesus I adore being a Derry fella 😂😂😂
As the main character you could see her being the "straight man" character, and sometimes she is, but most of the time she's just as bonkers, if not more so, than anyone else, and I love it.
I don’t think anyone on this planet will appreciate this show to its truest extent unless your from Norn Iron. I’m from Belfast and I love it. Derry folk must just adore this more so. The acting is superb and such amazing writing. Can not wait for season 2.... big shoes to fill... and please oh please don’t cast Nadine Coyle if the rumours are true. Just because she is a celebrity and from Derry doesn’t mean she should be in it.
this comment is like when in the promo clips of second season, students could not see similarities between protestants and catholics ... I feel like the ucranian having an accurate picture of the place.... I mean.. people are able to notice the layers of the narrative based on their own context...
Can’t believe that scene in the chippy was left out. Must have watched that scene 10 times. 7 bags of chips, 12 chicken nuggets, 1 small battered hot dog, 1 plain chicken burger.
Just saw the show on Netflix. I LOVE IT! 😍🙌🏻 and I love Erin! It’s like the lost Irish cousin of Carmencita from Qué Pasa USA. Waiting for the second season 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Erin reminds me so much of Rik Mayall in The Young Ones; incredibly loud, expressive, a bit bonkers, and is willing to do a lot in their power to get their way, even if they almost always fail
When is season 2 coming out?? I'm so glad netflix picked this show up -- i tried watching it last year or the year before when it was just on bbc / channel 4 and couldn't find somewhere to watch it. can't wait for more!!!!
When Erin holds the photo frame and says, "The fact that he's gone... Forever", I thought it was her Granda. But then Clare says, "Yeah, it's so sad. So, so sad. But then again you know what's done is done. So let's crack on" I was like what is happening 😂

I think she has a bit of an overbite.
@@cme4brain11 the fact that she is an actress who is not conventionally objectively pretty makes her even more gorgeous to watch
I agree she is magnificently gorgeous. When those eyes flare, she is magic.
The first show where Erin is talking to her Mom, and stating teenagers have rights, and the infant is laughing. This is priceless to me.
The actress who plays Erin is just incredible. Her facial expressions and comedic timing are flawless. Funniest of the Derry Girls.
I've never seen anyone who can look gorgeous and hideous at the same time before

Also Erin: AHAHAHAHAHA no way, are you serious?!
I'm dead 😂
One of my favorite scenes 😂 so relatable though 😁
I knew so many girls like this back at school 😭
It was kind of a "whiskey voice" laugh. I liked it.
