Derry Girls: parents' guide

The Troubles are a constant backdrop: armed soldiers at checkpoints, news of a deadly bombing, and the army blowing up the girls' suspicious suitcase. A peace retreat ends in a brawl, and a robbery is retold as a comic story. No injuries shown.

Very frequent f-words, and one character keeps saying 'motherf---er' after watching a bootleg of Pulp Fiction. Also 'shite,' 'hell' and Irish slang like 'fanny.' A boy is often mocked as 'the gay lad,' and insults fly constantly.

No sex scenes or nudity. Sex jokes are frequent and sometimes graphic, a teen boy plans to lose his virginity, condoms come up, and a main character comes out as gay in a sweet storyline.

Teens drink, smuggle vodka to a concert and wake up hungover, and one girl always seems to have alcohol on her. Characters smoke. Cannabis scones get served to mourners at a wake, played for laughs.

Bomb scares and checkpoints are mostly comic, and an elderly nun and an aunt die in scenes played for dark humor. The final season brings the sudden off-screen death of a main character's father and genuine grief.
