“We have a problem: we have to be discreet.” Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, a funny streaming series set in Ireland about 3 friends in their 30s who reconnect to solve a mystery (and get into tons of trouble). It’s the latest creation from Lisa McGee, the same writer / creator of the hit “Derry Girls” series as well. She explains: “This is the show I’ve always wanted to make; a mash‑up of my two favorite genres, mystery & comedy. We want to keep you guessing & keep you laughing. I can’’ wait for you to meet Saoirse, Robyn and Dara, and go on this wild, weird adventure with them — an Irish odyssey — full of twists, turns, and arguments about eyelash extensions.” Three lifelong friends reunite after the death of an old classmate turns a wake into a dark mystery. They embark on a thrilling adventure across Ireland, piecing together enigmatic truths amid complicated lives. Starring Roisin Gallagher as Saoirse, Sinéad Keenan as Robyn, and Caoilfhionn Dunne as Dana. This looks like a very fun time! Just the right amount of humor and whodunit intrigue all wrapped up in the greenery of Ireland. Worth a watch.
