How to Get to Heaven From Belfast

The twist at the end of episode one is so good that I could not wait to dive into episode two. This is your new binge-watch. It bowls along with supreme confidence.

Though “How to Get to Heaven from Belfast” is ostensibly a murder mystery, it often feels more like a buddy comedy. I enjoyed the twists of Greta’s story—especially the deadpan ferociousness of Bronagh Gallagher, who plays a mysterious and violent woman inexplicably tailing the group—but I could have done without some of the more bizarre turns in the later episodes. I kept coming back to the show instead for its bleakly funny portrait of middle-aged friendship.

Some of the richness in How to Get to Heaven from Belfast can get lost in the intentional chaos and misdirection, while some of its tantalizing specificity may be generally lost on American viewers simply looking for a wild whodunit. But when the cast is this exceptional and the dialogue has this much manic crackle, whatever you take from the series ought to be enough.

It takes in much, at a frenetic pace, and the energy never flags. So much so that you might just occasionally wish it would pause for a moment to allow everyone to catch their breath and give moments time to land. But overall the experience is a switchbacking rush of joy.

Consider this road trip the next best thing to an Irish vacation, an amusing send-up of too-many-things-Irish to count, from weather to wardrobe to “joined the IRA” jokes that never go out of style.

How To Get To Heaven From Belfast remains immensely watchable because of McGee’s clear grasp on the long-lasting impact of tight-knit female friendships, particularly those formed during adolescence.

Just when you worry this madcap mystery might lose its way, the three standout leads pull you back in as they joke and bicker their way through Lisa McGee's unhinged follow-up to Derry Girls.

Some series pull you in almost effortlessly, and this is one of them. From the start it mixes sharp humor with a mystery that slowly unfolds in the background. It never tries to be a major thriller, but it keeps things interesting while focusing on its characters.Much of the charm comes from the relationship between the three central friends. The story plays with that mixture of affection, frustration and shared memories that appears when old friends reunite after many years. In many ways, that dynamic matters more than the mystery **** script delivers several genuinely funny moments, with quick dialogue and a very Irish sense of humor that fits the tone perfectly. At times the plot can feel a bit convoluted, but the series never loses its light and entertaining **** setting also plays an important role. Belfast and the surrounding landscapes add personality and atmosphere, almost becoming a character of their own. That local flavor helps the show stand out from many recent comedies.Overall, it’s an entertaining mix of comedy, mystery and drama. Not everything lands perfectly, but the series clearly cares about its characters and the world they **** the end it leaves a simple impression: it’s fun, distinctive and very easy to watch. It may not reinvent television, but its humor and character chemistry make it easy to enjoy.

A série tenta, mediante música pop e uma ligeira edição, ultrapassar o viés superficial, mas não deve em nada a produções genéricas que buscam um serial killer em meio a uma mistura caótica de situações improváveis. Ao menos aqui há carisma e uma légitima defesa à insanidade divertida.

Cringy, full of plot holes and random filler. Main characters have a decent chemistry but that's all it had going for it in my opinion.

Terrible person did terrible things, but it's okay because they were abused. Here's a fun challenge if you actually do plan to watch this, imagine every character as the opposite gender and see if it changes your opinion on the writing. Anyway 3 points for the three main characters chemistry because they were actually pretty funny together. The actor playing Liam also did an awesome job with what he was given.

A cheap retreading of Derry Girls characters. Too exaggerated to be funny so it’s cringy.
