In my experience of these longstanding friendships that were formed when your lives were running parallel, the distance of adult life, expectations and responsibilities may be placed between you. You may doubt whether you can confide your everyday worries to friends whose routine, career or aspirations are so different to your own. But while these friendships may not contain the same codependence or similarity of your school days, the shorthand – the formative bond – shines through.

Roisin recalls that McGee herself was invaluable on set in forming these dynamics, bringing her own experiences to the fore. “I found it really helpful to have Lisa on set and hear her share stories of her own friends and what it was and is like for her,” she says. “I got a great sense of the connection and character that we find in the script.”

Roisin tells me that she hopes that audiences in their 30s or 40s may “recognise some of themselves” in Saoirse, Dara and Robyn’s dynamic – murder mystery mission aside, most likely. However far you travel in life, literally or figuratively, you can’t outrun or replace the women who knew you when you were young. And there’s a beauty and ferocity in that kind of friendship that is beautiful to watch on screen.

“While our Belfast girls may be dealing with different dramas than our Derry Girls – marriages, kids, careers… staring perimenopause in the face, rather than exams, boyfriends, girlfriends or lack of trust funds – there is a similarity in the mostly hilarious, sometimes moving, sometimes brutally direct way these women interact with each other.”

How To Get To Heaven From Belfast is available to watch on Netflix now.
