The funniest show on TV is back for its final season. ... The show is as fantastic as it always was. ... It's a fitting end to the chapter and thankfully it hasn't lost any of its charm, punchy dialogue, or hilarious performances during the time off.
Everything that made the past two seasons of Lisa McGee’s comedy series magic is back.

This is one of the best things I've watched in ages. So much so that I binged the entire thing in a weekend. It manages to be absolutely hilarious but also quite poignant. There were a few times I was surprised at some of the emotional moments. In the very short space of time, I became quite invested in the characters. And honestly, that's a rare quality in a TV show these days.
The finale was probably one of the best endings I've ever seen. I was honestly sad when I looked to see when season 4 would air only to find out that 3 was the end. I'm going to miss the people of Derry.
Report
Derry Girls will soon be gone for good – but for now it was back and as funny as ever.
That is the fairytale quality of Derry Girls: we all recognise the hysterical pitch of teenage emotions, but the stakes are kept reassuringly low. The peace process rumbles on in the background with the abstract grandeur of history; in the foreground are all the other, much funnier, troubles associated with growing up. Nothing of importance ever happens, but that nothing happens very importantly.
McGee manages to preserve the tone that makes Derry Girls not only gratifyingly profane but also profound: conflict and terror may continually loom, but the finer points of teenage life always take precedent.
