20 Best TV Shows of 2026 (So Far)

8. How To Get To Heaven From Belfast

There are some shows - rare gems - that hook you right from the get-go because the world they create is so effortless and so honest that you feel you've always been a part of it.

How to Get to Heaven from Belfast is one such show, a comedy-drama-mystery-thriller about three old school friends who venture home after a member of their old group passes away under strange circumstances, leading the trio on a trip down memory lane that leaves more questions than answers.

Laugh-a-minute thanks to its quick-witted and charming cast (Roisin Gallagher, Sinead Keegan, Caoilfhionn Dunne), How to Get to Heaven from Belfast offers a legitimately enticing whodunit alongside a tender portrait of enduring female friendship. 

Created by Derry Girls' Lisa McGee, it makes for an effective spiritual successor to her previous hit, and yet something entirely new: a whip-smart tale of middle-age woes mixed with an amateur detective yarn that keeps you guessing (and laughing!) right to the end.
