Reply to comment by secretmadscientist in The Decline of British Blue Collar Stories On Screen: 25 years since NIL BY MOUTH first hit screens, Gary Oldman’s film has become a relic of a time when working-class stories were major cinematic events. What happened? by Bullingdon1973

One that's really good is Derry Girls. All the main characters are straight up Northern Irish working class (except for one, who's English working class)

My wife got me to watch derry girls with her and it is so good. Sister Michael cracks me up every time she’s on screen.

You're not alone, Martin Scorsese just told an interviewer that he watches Derry Girls and loves Sister Michael.

Sister George Michael is great, though my personal favorite is Colm

I love all of the characters but the adults are so well written!! I cried through the last episodes of the final season.

I love Erin's parents, Michelle's mom and love love love Colm. We quote him the most in passing at home. "So I says to myself, says I," Sister Michael is also an absolute treasure.
