Oh C & E…I agree with almost everything you say, love your feminist takes on the world, but I am baffled by your gleeful hate for And Just Like That. As an original viewer of SATC, I was beyond thrilled to be invited back into their world, and I’m absolutely loving the writing, the sometimes ridiculous plot lines (like Carrie refusing to do an ad read and it bringing down the whole podcast company!) and honestly just spending time with them as they age, regardless of where they might go. (I even listen to the writers’ postshow podcast) I would pose that this could be an age thing…you’re still young, while I’m around their age and though no, I don’t live in NYC, have their money, kids in a private school, etc., I still find myself relating to them in some way every episode, mostly as a woman “of a certain age” who still has many of the same internal feelings of a younger woman, just navigating life. Wonder if those who didn’t watch each episode of the original SATC as an adult in its prime can’t have those same emotional (and clearly protective!) :) feelings towards the show.
Also, to clarify, we were also original viewers of SATC! I watched the series finale live and wept and found it to be absolutely pitch perfect. Our love of SATC is exactly what fuels our criticism of the spin-off, even as we find delights in it.
Not sure it's an age thing! But also totally happy that others are enjoying it without irony! I will gleefully watch every episode AND continue to criticize it lol.
