A dark comedy series set in Londonderry, Northern Ireland during the troubles centers on Erin. Michelle, Claire. Orla, and James(the British guy) at an all girls Catholic school.

Sister Michael is a hoot in a Monty Python kind of way. Father Peter, with his luxurious head of hair shows his idealistic side.

This series is well done with its plentiful sarcasm, puns, and pathos of a time in Ireland where being Catholic was dangerous.
