"There are plot twists galore, big laughs, big explosions and a gallery of wonderfully colourful supporting characters Imagine if the Derry Girls were Belfast girls in their late 30s and found themselves having to solve an eerie mystery involving the death of a former friend. That's a reasonable, bare-bones description of Lisa McGee's sparkling comedy-thriller How to Get to Heaven from Belfast (Netflix, from Thursday, February 12)."
"The trouble is, it doesn't begin to do justice to how smart, sharp, hilarious, gripping and wildly entertaining it all is."
The series follows a group of Belfast women in their late 30s who become involved in solving the eerie death of a former friend. The tone blends sharp comedy with tense thriller beats, delivering big laughs alongside surprising plot twists and large-scale action including explosions. A gallery of colourful supporting characters provides warmth, humour, and complications that deepen the mystery. The scripts combine wit and suspense to create a gripping, hilarious, and wildly entertaining ensemble piece that centers older protagonists confronting danger, secrets, and emotional stakes.
