As if a 55 year old New Yorker with plenty of money would just put up with back pain like that and not get it investigated? Also, if it was a birth defect how come it never bothered her before? She could even sprint in heels in her 30’s! Ridiculous
To be fair, as a person who lived in 5" to 7" heels in my 20s and 30s, I too wore them daily and could even sprint in them.

My back "went" a few years ago and I was in agony. Turned out I had a slipped disc, likely caused from undiagnosed scoliosis that I'd had since a child. So, it's believable to me.

I can only wear heels on nights out now. 😭 Which have been rare in the pandemic and so I'm woefully out of practice. I've got 200 pairs of shoes to rotate through too. 🙈😅
 
Why does Che keep on showing up here, there and everywhere? Like, why is Che going to visit Carrie in the hospital? They are not friends. I mean, Carrie seems to think the same, as she wasn't up for a visit from Che. Also, I think it's just really rude how Che thinks they can smoke pot everywhere. Would you be happy if someone walked into your apartment and just started smoking pot without asking? Nope. Rude!

Che is soooo annoying. I'd like them in smaller doses and if they were a bit more mature.

Way too much emphasis on the character, who's mainly unlikeable in their current guise.

The user who said “it’s just a joint not a crack pipe” like we know it’s just weed, but it’s still not normal to walk into your colleagues apartment without her knowledge, get drunk and smoke weed, also encourage the person caring for your colleague to do it too then proceed to have sex with them!

I don’t know how that is “Karen” behaviour, when you don’t think such behaviour is acceptable. I’m much younger than Carrie and I would still blow a fuse if someone did that in my house. You’re not respecting me or my home. It’s basic manners and decorum.

I'm in my 30s, HATE the smell of weed and cigarettes and would go nuts if anyone smoked either in my house. So I think Carrie was perfectly reasonable in being annoyed at Miranda for the smoking (and also for cheating on Steve – Carrie has known Steve for decades at this point, even if they're not best friends).

Ha! I missed that comment. Just call me Karen, I guess!

As you said, it's just basic manners - and Che doesn't have any!
 
Can I also just mention on the episode before the last, when Carrie is speaking to her real estate agent, and the agent says how colourful the apartment is, Carrie says "Big absolutely hated beige". Then why did you give him a beige funeral!!!? Honestly who is writing this terrible script 😱😱

I thought Big would have his funeral at a jazz bar with them serving steaks, manhattans and cigars afterwards.

That’s more his style, not some cold, minimalist, art house show room.

Yeah I mean you don't go into someone's home and smoke drugs and have sex in their kitchen, even more so when they're in the next room...I mean it's basic common.manners. I don't know anyone who thinks that's acceptable behaviour in any age range.

Weed smells like bad BO to me personally, horrible smell.

Che is like your stereotypical worst case 'activist', also a very negative stereotype of queen women. Like something the Daily Mail would have come up with.
 
Is anyone also a bit grossed out that they make Miranda and Steve completely fine with their child banging the house down with his GF? What parents allow their 17 year old and his GF basically have sex day and night in their house, and then not even reprimand him for calling his mother a witch to her face?

Also, if Brady was my son, his girlfriend wouldn’t even be allowed to be alone in a bedroom with him. Never mind stay in my home not paying bills or rent, eating all my food, making smart comments and making me feel like a stranger in my own home.

I know it’s not real but it annoys me so much.

Also the kid who plays Brady looks like Linguini from Ratatouille and somehow looks 13 and 33 at the same time.
I get the impression that the have raised a spoilt only child who has been allowed to run rings round them, despite their better judgement. This has happened to a few friends of mine-thought they would be strict /sensible parents because they were older,had serious jobs etc, but turned out the complete opposite…like they were just weary of parenting and let the kids do whatever they wanted as teens. Not sure if this was the scriptwriters intention,but I actually think it’s quite realistic if it was…..
 
Charlotte and Harry are very sweet, I love them.
I think Charlotte has probably stayed closest to the character. Well meaning, caring and slightly neurotic.

I also like how they found out about Rose’s new name as it’s realistic, because it happens a lot nowadays, children now tell the internet and everyone else everything and the parents are the last to know.

I see this. Sometimes when you have career focused parents who spend a long hours working they can overcompensate when they spend time with their child. I get the impression that this is the case, and Miranda is annoyed with herself for the situation with Brady but doesn’t want to cause issues within their mother son relationship. She also said in episode 1 that they have fallen into the habit of having the girlfriend stay over. She wanted to be the “cool, relaxed” parent by allowing her to stay, then it became every night but they didn’t know how to say no. Brady does seem a bit of an entitled twit.

also we know from SATC that Miranda doesn’t have a close relationship with her family, this could be another reason why she’s over compensating with Brady.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but the last text from Samantha was when Carrie was thanking her for the funeral flowers and it said ‘Thursday’.. so has it really only been a few days since Big died?! Carrie doesn’t seem phased in the slightest?
In a previous episode, 2nd maybe I'm sure it was referenced it had been 6 weeks, so that text time stamp is another ball drop by the writers / producers!
