If violence was ambient background noise in “Derry Girls,” it has come front and center, albeit in a more cartoonish fashion, in McGee’s new show, “How to Get to Heaven from Belfast.” The eight-episode comedic murder mystery, which premièred on Netflix last month, and quickly gained a following in the U.K., shares some similarities with McGee’s previous project.
