Review of The Prom

Derry Girls: The Prom (2019)
Season 2, Episode 5
3/10
Worst episode of the series by my count
22 July 2021
My overall rating of "Derry girls"'s Season 2: 5/10.

There are, in total, 3 episodes of "Derry girls" out of 12 which I rated 3/10 (and none lower than that). With the other two - "Episode 1.4" and "Ms De Brún and the Child of Prague" - there were still entire scenes that I found funny, even if the rest of the episode was taking on water. With this one, I could at most count individual _jokes_ that worked for me, which is quite bad, especially by this series' standards.

This episode also brings something that I was waiting for for a long time: "Zombie" by "The Cranberries", the one '90s song that the series hadn't yet had but absolutely had to have had, given its setting. I guess the moment "Zombie" plays in is significant, but not quite tonally in accord with the song itself?.. Maybe S1 finale would've been a better fit for it? Especially considering that such a great song deserves to star in a better kind of episode.
