Derry Girls is ending and as we prepare to watch the finale of the beloved Irish comedy, we’ve gathered up all the best and saddest reactions to the Derry Girls' last episode.

We cannot express how sad we are to be saying goodbye to our favorite Derry residents. Can you even imagine how we'll feel when Bridgerton ends?

The girls (and James) have given us endless laughs and our lives just won’t be the same without them. Dramatic? Perhaps. True? Absolutely. But alas, all good things must come to end and Derry Girls is no exception. 

The finale episodes air on May 17th and 18th, so as an ode to Erin, Orla, Clare, Michelle, and James—here are all the best and most heartbreaking reactions to the show’s third and final series, plus a few memes.

Prepare to weep…

Best reactions to the end of Derry Girls 

1. Divine intervention maybe?

Looks like we're not the only ones upset by Derry Girls ending...

2. Crying—a lot of crying

Hope you've got a supply of tissues at the ready because things are going to get emosh.

3. "I'M FINE!"

*Spoiler*—we're not.

4. Aunt Sarah is the vibe

5. First stage of grief? Denial

The best Derry Girls season three memes

We had a good run though and this last season did not disappoint, delivering plenty of material for Twitter to do what Twitter does best: memes.

1.Taken: staring Uncle Colm

What a cameo! We still can't get over the fact that Liam Neeson made a special appearance in the first episode—nor the fact he was effectively defeated by Uncle Colm. 

2. If you know, you know

If you haven't seen the series yet, there was a missing bunny, we find out Sister Michael's first name and apparently Liam Neeson moonlights as a Derry Police man...

3. Who did it better?

Remember Tom Holland's legendary lip sync battle where he impersonated Rihanna? Well, here's James as Posh Spice.

4. There's two types of people...

5. Westlife, is that you?

6. When the snacks hit different

Thanks for all the laughs!
