In 1990, there were a large number of countries in various regions of the first world, specifically - if the name is permissible - under the weight of global political and economic turmoil, those countries left by giants to catch up with the passengers of the world alone, or perhaps they were benefiting from the recession in their heart;

Just as the English benefit from the people of Ireland, whom English history knows with kindness and sometimes naivety.

Perhaps the well-known Dutch series "Derry girls" - which is one of the series "Sitcom" - found itself at the heart of the stories he told through this political turmoil during which some changes were formed in Northern Ireland and through the pursuit of its people without others. .

From its first season until the third and final season, which was shown a few days ago;

We are in front of 4 girls: Irene, Orla, Claire and Michelle, and a lonely young man who was born in England, but had to study in Northern Ireland as a result of the separation of his mother, James, who falls under the weight of a woman who controls things despite his masculinity.

Everyone without exception is striving in every way to obtain an educational certificate that will enable them to move out of their small county of Derry and their poor financial condition to the education and study abroad and the experience which everyone imagines is desperately needed to escape the unsatisfactory fate of parents.

The series serves a number of issues whose foundations have been laid since the beginning of the nineties, and which were at the fore in the context of Northern Ireland and perhaps the world (the feminist movement in its most modern form and developed through teenage girls dreaming of a more controlled world).

There is a historical question that arises throughout the episodes;

Was there false hope for the feminist movement during the 1990s?

On the surface, the nineties were the period in which women appeared on the scene and showed their independence more than what preceded it, of course.

Two decades of deception

Late marriage has spread, women’s participation in work has increased, the gender gap in education and employment has been significantly narrowed, and the number of women leaders in politics, business, and entertainment has increased worldwide, and they have become rising stars.

However, these statistics, which considered 1992 to be the "year of the woman", simply changed the image of "anti-women", according to Alison Yarrow in The Times, who said that the "#Me Too" movement that emerged two decades later is an indicator of the extent The deception of the 1990s with regard to the writings on women that suggested that society had become equal between the sexes.

Yarrow also said that a larger backlash against the feminist movement emerged during the 1990s in the United States.

"The more women gain power, the more power is taken from them by a harmful populist culture that celebrates outright hostility towards and sexual exploitation of women," he added.

She added that the emergence of news bulletins throughout the day, interspersed with commercial advertising spaces, made matters worse, as scandals centered around women were broadcast continuously, and advertisements and entertainment focused heavily on the appearance of women, but perhaps the most deceptive forms of cultural reactions are Using the feminist movement against women, empowering women has become synonymous with making them masculine, excessive modesty, and causing problems.

This historical detail may constitute - even indirectly - the most pivotal movement in the famous series, which achieved millions of viewers in a number of countries in the world, who sat in front of a light comedy series that recounts the tragedy of stagnation and emptiness and women's quest for experience and leadership relying on themselves only.

Adolescent girls discover the world around them with boldness, demand, and perhaps a lot of naivety that represents their country more than it specifically represents them. and their constant femininity.

And the most powerful narrative line over the three seasons of the series appears perfectly in the amazing scenario, which represents - as absurd and ridiculous of everything - a clear gesture to define the depth of each individual character to the extent that over time the spectator expects the behavior of people of different naivety and endless lightness.

The language of the heroes and their very fast English compared to the English themselves coincide with very sharp montage intersections that quickly pass between everyone, and panting behind their absurd actions aimed at seriousness while the picture appears completely comic.

bitterness of irony

The stinging irony with which "Sitcom" came out, may be possible to extend its narrative from the place where it was filmed in Northern Ireland to many other regions in the world whose people do not have control over their decisions, which leaves public policies in a state of confusion and dispersion that affects its people with the same characteristics, consciously or without their awareness .

The series "Derry Girls" may represent a serious indictment of its mockery of the policies that befell Northern Ireland over the past 30 years, which led to repression at all levels and confronted, despite everything, with the naivety surrounding all the characters who seek to try everything in front of them without a positive result.
