“There's a part of me that wishes everything could just stay the same. That we could all just stay like this forever. There's a part of me that really doesn't want to grow up. ”
Erin Quinn
PLOT
"The personal exploits of a 16-year-old girl and her family and friends during the Troubles in the early 1990s" or "Quirky people doing weird things with a heart"
SCRIPT
By far the best aspect of this series who shows us a group of quirky friends in Derry with the 90s confict between England and Ireland in the background.
Each character is explored in depth and every situation they find themselves in, not only is good at showing Derry and creating a lot of comic scenes, but it further their growth.
Political and Social themes are represented with impressive care and nuance, considering the political scene of the 90s.
I didn't expect that, not at all, because I thought that this was the usual teen dramedy without a point.
It isn't because it's much better than that.
Script: 8/10
ACTING
The main actors deliver remarkable performances made of comedy and drama. I like what they brought to each character.
Sure, it isn't the best acting I've ever seen but it's good nonetheless.
Acting: 7/10
PHOTOGRAPHY
The light is just flat and colors don't have any particular meaning. It's acceptable, nothing more.
Photography: 6/10
EDITING
The comedy is enhanced by a good editing but I don't consider it interesting. It's decent, just that.
Editing: 6/10
SPECIAL EFFECTS
There're just a few and are imperceptible. This series doesn't nedd CGI to shine and amaze.
Special Effects: 6/10
SOUNDTRACK
It's mostly made of 90s pop songs which fits the series and define its tone. It isn't impressive but it aligns well with the show's style.
Soundtrack: 7/10
COSTUMES
Ordinary clothes worn by 90s Irish high schoolers.Some episodes feature interesting costumes but overall there isn't anything remarkable about those.
Costumes: 6/10
