Derry Girls is back, and it's as funny and heartbreaking as ever

The third and final season of the hit Channel 4 sitcom premiered on Tuesday night, and it didn't disappoint

The show, which follows the lives of five teenage girls in Derry, Northern Ireland, during the Troubles, has been praised for its sharp writing, lovable characters, and honest depiction of life in a conflict zone.

The third season picks up in 1996, as the girls are preparing to leave school and head off to university. But before they can do that, they have to navigate the challenges of their final year, which includes dealing with exams, boys, and the ever-present threat of violence.

The season premiere, titled "The Girls," sets the tone for the rest of the season. The girls are still as funny and lovable as ever, but they're also starting to grow up and face the challenges of adulthood.
