I’ve watched. I’m angry 🤣 I don’t know how much I can keep watching tbh.

Creepy Che. If was a man would be seen as predatory, inappropriate, creepy behaviour. But no.
Has Miranda ever shown any signs of being gay/ bisexual in the past? Is this something that can just change with someone? Its not something I understand if anyone could enlighten me.
 
Apart from all the tick the woke box storylines there also seems to be a bit of a gross out element to ajlt. The public masturbating storyline was just weird and disgusting and the peeing in this episode was just too much.
First we had Charlotte taking Carrie to the bathroom in the hospital. Fine, but did she have to stay to listen which by extension meant we had to stay and listen too. Then we had Carrie peeing in a bottle while Miranda and Che were going at it in the kitchen and then she spilled the bottle of pee on the bed.

There was an episode in one of the early SATC seasons where her boss thinks she's a lesbian and sets her up with a woman. She plays along for awhile, but it's firmly established that she's not gay. However, Cynthia Nixon was in real life married to a man for a long time, then left him for a woman, so it feels like the show is definitely mirroring her life.

As for whether sexual orientation can change...maybe? I thought I was straight until I was in my 30s and then realised I was gay. But now that I look back, I can see that there were lots of issues with my sexuality that I tried to ignore for a long time (mainly due to having had a very religious upbringing). I think it's possible for people to be heavily in denial about their sexuality, as I was, or perhaps to be bisexual but never met someone of the same sex that they felt enough attraction towards for them to pursue a romantic/sexual relationship.

The Miranda story just feels like a weird combination of life imitating art (well, I use the term 'art' extremely loosely in this context) and the show pushing the bored-middle-aged-woman-sexual-reawakening stereotype way too hard. Plus, more woke/queer points of course!
 
Such lazy script writing and a victim of being too woke. Michael Patrick kings episodes were amazing in SATC. How he would take a theme and intertwine it around the 4 characters was always so clever.
The characters are definitely been re written with the actors own beliefs and experiences peppered among them. Not true to their characters or the amazing script that made SATC what jt was.
It's not relatable to those of us who followed the characters and their journeys throughout the noughties.

Thank you for sharing your story!
 
Where the hell did the hip op come from? It’s like they’re trying to shoehorn every traumatic/life changing event an over-50 woman could have into every single episode 🤢

I read something that said the writers and SJP had to really work with and cajole Cynthia to come on board, and so I reckon she’s had a massive part in making it quite so “woke” and mirroring her real life marriage to a man as you say. I really like Cynthia but feel like that might explain why it’s all been taken to such a high level. She’s a really respected voice and so I reckon if the series had not contained all of this stuff she may have been worried she would have been judged for that.
