Few writers understand female friendship quite like Lisa McGee. After creating the endlessly quotable Derry Girls, McGee returns as showrunner with How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, a trippy, genre-bending mystery. It carries McGee’s signature mix of humour and emotional bite. The series follows three estranged school friends in their late thirties who reunite after the reported death of their fourth groupmate—only to suspect she might not be dead at all. What follows is a trippy, genre-bending mystery that unravels old betrayals, dark secrets, and the moment everything went wrong, powered by a killer soundtrack and a tone that’s funny, eerie, and compulsively watchable.
