A look at some British comedies on Netflix.
Refinery 29, 15th January 2019The first series of Lisa McGee's Derry Girls was a monster of a show - Channel 4's biggest new comedy in five years. A classic sitcom premise married to some timely 1990s nostalgia, where all the teens-go-mad action was flanked by the constant shadow of the Troubles. It's such a perfect formula that a second series cannot feasibly disappoint.
