Season 3 of Derry Girls is now out on Netflix. In the first episode, Sister Michael rents a new Martin Scorsese movie at the video store. Here is when the season is set and which movie she rented.
Derry Girls season 3 is out on Netflix, complete with a Liam Neeson cameo and all sorts of hijinks from the gang of Catholic girls (and James) in Northern Ireland. The show is still hilarious — it’s one of the best comedies you can watch on Netflix — but something in particular from the first episode provoked contemplation.
The Derry Girls go to the local video store, briefly considering renting Braveheart before leaving to pull off a dastardly scheme (you should watch the episode). But first, they run into Sister Michael, who teases them about their exam results before being called to the register to pick up “the new Martin Scorsese movie,” which had apparently been put on hold for her.
First of all — fantastic, no notes. Besides Scorsese being a famously Catholic filmmaker, his dark sense of humor is a perfect match for Sister Michael’s sensibilities.
