For those who have a Derry Girls-shaped hole in their heart, look no further for your newest watch. Lisa McGee, the show’s creator, has moved 70 miles west to Belfast for her new series—part thriller, part surrealist comedy. “I always loved the mystery genre, and I wanted to put my voice on something new,” McGee recently told The Guardian. “I wanted a shit, female, Northern Irish A-Team!” How to Get to Heaven from Belfast follows three female friends who find themselves investigating the death of a former classmate. The sharp yet touching voice that propelled Derry Girls is alive and well in this show, which is sure to be a deadly great craic (that’s Irish slang for a spirit of banter, mischief, and fun.) —Maggie Turner
