šŸ˜† Love it. Absolutely right, Steve has committed the crime of being a heterosexual middle-aged white bloke and must be punished accordingly.

You are so right and it bleeping kills me because Miranda and Steve have such a nuanced storyline built over literally years and it culminates with REAL personal growth for Miranda (remember when Magda tells her ā€œreal love is what you did. You loveā€ when sheā€™s looking after Steveā€™s mum with dementia, and itā€™s such a MOMENT because miranda had been so resistant to the idea of being a wife, a mum, living in Brooklyn, caring about others, etc etc. And now theyā€™ve just fucked that beautiful arc with some out of character bullshit. I donā€™t even like Steve and he deserved better, so did their story. Bit like Samantha chucking Smith in the movie. What a load of bs.

Yes. All of this. They did the marriage got stale, they had no sex, he cheated, they worked on it story line in the film. She literally left and then CHOSE to go back to him. If I remember rightly; it wasnā€™t logic, it was love. Now weā€™re expected to believe all that growth and drama was for nothing because of Che?!? Of al people?!?

They have 3 bedrooms if I remember correctly because Trey and Charlotte converted the random room into a nursery, and they had a guest bedroom so god knows why they're sharing a room.

Probably just a forced way to make the audience see how different the two daughters are. Like, ok we get it already :sleep:
I'm actually disappointed Lily doesn't have a larger role in this series. Rose/Rock has her character arc, even Brady has his own storyline with banging his gf in his parents' home. Charlotte and Harry's trouble with conceiving and then their adoption arc was such a huge part of the later SATC years that it's disappointing to see that Lily is only there to be a juxtaposition to Rose/Rock.

My take on last night's episode.

I enjoyed the picnic and plastic surgeon scenes. Felt more like the old days. Especially Charlotte's reaction to Miranda's indiscretion.

I thought Carrie's trouser suit was sensational, really stylish and not the usual outfit we'd see her in. I'd look horrendous in high waisted trousers like that, they would make my belly look even bigger. šŸ˜­

I really missed Miranda's red hair when this series started, but her hair seems to have changed from the first couple of episodes, almost looks like a wig as it's so perfect, but I thought Miranda looked gorgeous in the picnic scene.

I'm still getting over the actor that plays Anthony is 62 IRL, he absolutely looks nowhere near that age, at least 12 years younger. (This is after I yesterday learned Claude from The Apprentice is 72! What moisturiser are these men using?). Anthony has definitely been the comedy this series needs desperately. God, I miss Stanford so much though.

The scenes with Miranda's college lecturer out with friends and back home having a shag were boring. Me and my boyfriend agreed that we just aren't invested in, or caring about these side characters, nor having their own storylines. (Yes, my poor fella had been roped into watching it with me, I watch SATC on constant repeat and he begrudgingly enjoys some episodes, I've caught him laughing at scenes and he knows the character's names. My work here is done!)

The CGI on that apartment balcony was lame AF, just... why?!?!

Also, did Carrie buy that place, then sell it just as quick? The beeping storyline was dragged out and seemed pointless. Are we also really to believe that after over a decade living in absolute luxury, with closets the size of her old place, that she really would move back to that tiny apartment of hers?

Finally, where the heck was Steve "What did you Shay?" Brady?


That's so funny. I literally just posted saying the same thing. I was scrutinising those pics last night trying decide. Saddo that I am. šŸ¤£

Mario Cantone looks unreal. I canā€™t get over his age.

Oh and one more thingā€¦ I think that Charlotteā€™s storyline with her daughters is unfortunately being conflated with all the other weird try-hard storylines, but tbh on its own, it makes sense.

Charlotteā€˜s daughters are both young Gen Z growing up in a liberal (I donā€™t say that derisively) New York City, attached to technology and now in the wake of COVID and BLM. The portrayal of these tweens/teens is pretty realistic, and the cultural and generational clashes, the controversies and confusion over gender norms and school and what to ignore and what to be attentive toā€¦ thatā€™s a real thing and IMO it does make perfect sense as a storyline for a 2021 Sex and the City. Unfortunately viewers understandably see it as all one thing. If they had turned the dial down on the other storylines, I think the plot with Charlotteā€™s daughters could play decently well and realistically.

ive just turned 40 and dreading what the next decade will bring after all this!!

It's awful Sonz, I'm 42 in a few weeks and the moment I turned forty my bones turned to dust, my hearing went, my double hip replacement still hasn't settled so when I walk anywhere they clack together like two ball bearings, on top of all that my facial hair now means I look like Brian Blessed. On the plus side as I am now over forty I have become invisible. So swings and roundabouts!

Charlottes apartment has six rooms altogether.
That was Treyā€™s home. Sheā€™s done very well out of that first marriage

I always thought it was kind of weird that she stayed in her ex-husband's apartment for so many years. It's not like she and Harry weren't comfortable in their own right. Although I guess it's very fancy New York real estate, and she did have to do battle with Bunny to get it.

This is SUCH a good analysis.

Iā€™ve always been a love hater watcher of SATC because I just canā€™t stand Carrie, and sheā€™s no better in this. Thereā€™s a huge imbalance between them. In the first film Miranda had to take all this guilt and days of silent treatment for ā€˜ruining her marriageā€™ (when Big was a 50 year old man having a tantrum) and then when he died Charlotte was sooooo sorry and distraught that she MADE Carrie go to the concert, but when is Carrie ever accountable? Even in this new series when anyone else has any kind of issue she has to quickly remind them of her own overriding problems.
