Been a SATC fan for years, watched them all over and over again. I'm one of those gals that cried at the final episode as Bigs real name flashed up on Carrie's phone!
But jeeeeez this new series is beyond awful. I still think they should have left it at the first film. All the girls got what they wanted and where their characters should have been. I used to think Michael Patrick King did it beautifully, but this time its all just falls kinda flat. Sometimes these programs should finish on a high, they made the same mistake with Only fools and Horses. All the magic of the series just goes when it goes on too long.

The ending of the TV show I would go as far to say was one of the best endings in TV history. The revolution of Bigs name, and that fantastic monologue by Carrie ending with "If you can find someone to love the you you love...well that's just fabulous.' I mean, to me that was perfection. It should have been left there. Although the 1st film wasn't that bad it still wasn't necessary in my opinion. The 2nd film I can't even talk about its so mind boggingly awful and this series has definitely followed in its footsteps. I'm watching beacuse im invested, but so far I'm critizing more than complimenting. They should have left this once brilliant series one. I was a die hard fan but this is all slowly tarnishing it.

That doesn't surprise me about Cynthia. She's achingly smug, super-woke and, I imagine, pretty annoying to work with. She also looks like a total shambles when she hasn't been styled (although, to be fair, PF did put Miranda in some truly horrendous outfits). I don't love SJP, but I do think she has an original sense of style and dresses for herself.

It’s true. Miranda has completely disappeared and been replaced by the real life character of Cynthia Nixon - a super-woke, super-annoying lesbian.
 
The show gets more and more ridiculous. Why are Charlotte and Harry acting as if black people have just been integrated into society? It’s so offensive.
It’s honestly ridiculous I’ve never seen a show like it. It’s trying too hard, I can’t help but cringe. Plus the timeline is just all over the place.

Since when was Miranda and her professor friends?
What was that whole scene about the social media lol and the girl saying ‘sorry for your loss but please keep posting’ how about fk off?
That Seema saying Carrie offended her by saying it’s good she’s still out there and then said ‘you lost your husband but I’ve never had love so my situation is worse’ god she’s worse than Carrie and that’s saying something. PICK ME GIRL!
Hardly any Miranda in that episode and no talks about what happened with Che etc.
Charlotte at the dinner party was just disgusting, trying to find a black friend and also mistaking a black person for another black person. Wtf? I’ll be surprised if they don’t get complaints. Very obvious that Harry is going to have bowel cancer.
They’ve wrote Stanford out of the show by the looks of things. But would’ve been nice if they did a memorial for him at the end. Unless that’s not the end of his journey.
Also, what an absolutely boring episode. It ended and I was like… what even happened?
They put a peloton back in the apartment… of all things how random. Tell me peloton paid for promotion without telling me they paid for promotion.
Why would Carrie be friends with Seema after insulting each other?

Offensive is the right word for this episode. It is so insulting. I grabbed a coffee and watched the rest, wish I hadn't. I liked the bits where Carrie was moving on with life, reminded me of SATC but that was less than 5 minutes of the show.

I've seen a screenshot on Twitter about next week, Che and Miranda feature, the sad thing is I will watch as I want to see what happens to the characters as the show was a massive part of my 20s, but the writing and storylines are appaling.
 
Carrie
She wakes up in her spare Manhattan apartment and keeps shoe boxes on her kitchen counter as a homage to the Old Carrie (not to be mistaken with Elderly Carrie)
She goes to her other large Manhattan apartment, feels feelings and the camera backs to the third person in their marriage. Not Natasha, but Peloton.
Decides to sell the apartment, new character Seema comments on the lovely wallpaper, "Well, my husband wasn't a fan of beige." harking back to when Big complained about Natasha's taste in decor. I'm bored of them continually taking jibes like this.
Seema triggers Carrie by mentioning having a Peloton. They may as well name the series Peloton Just Like Peloton.
Social media manager Chloe uses many inappropriate death metaphors but what the writers really want you to see is that she's in a wheelchair
She looks at some apartments, it's boring. She goes home, the Peloton is back - just how much money are they getting for each reference?
Carrie sticks Big's ashes in her old apartment's closet, one of the most Carrie things Carrie has ever done.

Charlotte
Confirms then cancels colonoscopy for Harry - given how obvious the writers are, we know where this is going
Charlotte plans a dinner party but frets that she doesn't have enough black people going, so part of this episode is Charlotte doing a black person treasure hunt. In the pilot episode of SATC, we were introduced to Charlotte as an intersectional feminist, let us remember her like this.
Charlotte harasses Harry (a successful attorney) to name black novelists when they go to dinner. Because black people are a homogenous monolith. The writers continue to betray the old characters by caricaturing them as Old People Who Don't Understand The World Today.

Miranda
Wakes up stinking of weed, sex-robot Brady and his girlfriend press Miranda about it, she explains she was in a venue with 'alternative types' of people, as though she's describing plant-based milk.
The girls have dinner together and Miranda wants to order another bottle of wine
Miranda has dinner with her professor and they discuss infertility and motherhood. The closest we might get to the original SATC where smart women have a nuanced conversation over a painful topic.

Stanford has gone to Japan and wants a divorce. No one really cares.
In a way, I'm glad Charlotte has a new friend as Carrie and Miranda obviously no longer like her, and find her presence barely tolerable. Ditch them darling, what are they going to do, throw their purse wine and Peloton at you?
