What I hate the most is the actresses are going around complaining about being criticized in real life for aging and then they do this series that is so disrespectful about aging. What the hell?

[@Outdafakeonz]

When they were having lunch, I took that whole convo as them ribbing and joking on each other. My friends and I do that all the time anytime we get a cramp or pull a muscle just for breathing. It's a self depreciating thing. I was actually laughing at that scene because it was very relatable.

This show should NEVER have been green lit. It’s absolutely awful! They have made every character so unlikable in such a short time. Carrie seemed more upset about Big jilting her at their wedding than when he died. She’s gotten over it very quickly compared to how damaged she was in the first movie. Miranda is awful. All the work they did between her and Steve was for nothing. The women act like their in their 70’s not their 50’s. It’s not a fun show anymore and shoving all these woke agendas down our throat in every episode is exhausting.

[@NovaLena22]

Totally agree. I thought that's where they were headed with this story. I didn't take it as another "ageist" knock on the girls, but more as a life lesson to someone who's worn high heels for everything from parties, to shopping, to even walking Aidan's dog (eyeroll). But instead, they glossed over that obvious take in favor of more woke bullshit about Charlotte's daughter. WTF?!!

[@_wwId]

@@EvokeSelf I already gave up on heels 👠 lol

[@fool4singing]

Dolly Parton always wears high heels, and has never had hip surgery and she's 75. The opportunity they missed was educating people that the reason Carrie's hip went out was years and years of smoking, depleting her body of Vitamin C, thus ruining her cartilage. A deficiency of vitamin C causes scurvy which is malformation of collagen. Therefore, this deficiency can cause pigmentation of the skin, open and bleeding wounds on the skin and mucosal membranes and reduced mobility caused by degeneration of the cartilage since collagen makes up the connective tissues at the joints.

Che seems like an even bigger addict than Miranda. She acts like a bad teenager, always doing shots and smoking weed. Why would the responsible Miranda be attracted to that? Crazy.

[@Outdafakeonz]

Imo, Miranda is filled with a lot of self-loathing and resentment. She's miserable in her marriage; her repressed sexuality, and has a massive chip on her shoulder, and that's why she resorts to drinking. None of her friends are on board with her newly acquired drinking schedule, but Che facilitates and enables her vice. That and the fact that she's obviously sexually attracted to her and is able to explore that with her, it's like a horny teenager excited to have sex for the first time because being with another woman is a first for her.

In fact I think having a problematic non-binary character would be a good thing- because that makes them more balanced as characters. But because all Che can talk about is how progressive and woke she is, it does feel like the writers are giving them a pass and THAT IS NOT OKAY. They deserve to get called out for this behavior.

[@jodibrooklyn1033]

You beat me to this. I just commented about Che's character. That kitchen scene was disturbing on so many levels, none of which has to do with their sexuality. It has everything to do with cringey, aggressive, manipulative behavior. Che planned on plying liquor to pain med Carrie. But then Che decided to smoke weed, blow it in Miranda's mouth, do shots with her, and have a quickie before needing to bounce to NJ? It's certainly no secret to Che that Miranda is both married and a mess. It seems like she took total advantage of the situation. This is supposed to be woke?

I am not a writer but I think it would have been better for Samantha’s character to have passed away from breast cancer. And memorialize Samantha by creating a charity /organization for women/families who are going through the challenges of breast cancer. This scenario would have set the stage for introducing new characters to the show . Also, Stanford would never just leave without saying his good bye in-person. I felt it would be better to have Stanford die from Covid related issues - much more believable . Women in the city are also generally active, I don’t see any of the characters exercising like the did in the series. I think that would minimize the whining about how old they are and be more proactive in improving strength/diet/ mental health/ health bc they are at the age when women are going thru menopause (which has not been addressed either ??) And lastly, no one wears masks on the subway ?!? This show is AWEFUL !

And that there’s something to it wink wink… the Gall!there’s an opioid epidemic 3.the Rose thing: it’s so awful that the her school principal and teacher tells them that they take their lead from a 12 year old instead of their parents. Guys this is happening in real life and this is their attitude. Poor Harry when he says that this is the most humbling experience to be told by other adults about his own child. I say no! This is the most humiliating experience and a slap in the face to all parents. 4. I feel so bad for Steve right now that Miranda just hates them and what they are about.

[@evesapple]

On number 3-- You're 100% right. Children are encouraged to keep secrets from their parents now which is a clear safeguarding risk. In Scotland schools have been told to encourage children as young as 4 to change their 'gender.' Four years old. How this is happening at the same time around the world is pretty mind blowing to me and I don't understand how something so potentially harmful is being pushed.

[@tarantulagirl]

Absolutely agree with this. This show is toxic to the core.

[@emma2370]

I agree. I also think it’s unfair to justify Miranda’s affair and alcoholism by saying she hates her life. Guess what? It’s no one else’s responsibility to make your life something you love. If she doesn’t communicate with Steve she is unhappy how is it going to get fixed? Also there are people for which alcoholism is a disease. It doesn’t magically get better because they are happy. People ruin happy lives because they can’t stop. And having sex at your friends house who you are there to help is really selfish. She is a terrible character.

Yes,he cheated and that sucks but she dragged him through Hell for it She and Steve rebuilt the trust and a lot of good all that work did Steve. Miranda makes him sound like an f'n loser. Has she really looked at Che? Has she paid attention to some of the horrible crap that comes out of Che's mouth on that sh*t show podcast? Che is not a good person and just Miranda can ignore all of Che's less then stellar qualities is just showing how warped the writers have made her. Miranda talked in therapy about how much Steve's infedelity hurt her and yet she had no trouble inflicting that same pain on him.

Poor Steve has no idea how she feels because she’s made no attempt to tell him, I feel like she hates Brady as well. To say she hates her life, when she has so much going for her, a son, a beautiful house, a great career, a loving husband, all of that is her life, so the only thing she is doing is changing her partner, so what she’s really saying is she hates Steve.

[@heatherhoward8064]

I was glad that Carrie told Miranda off about the business in her kitchen -- and I'd argue that wasn't "fair payback" for Carrie sending Aidan to help Miranda on the original series, instead of going herself. Carrie didn't go because she had a meeting with her editor, and she did send Aidan to help. Miranda was drinking and getting off in the kitchen, and didn't provide Carrie any help at all. She even kept yanking at the sheet when Carrie yelled "stop, you're hurting me." I just hope there's also a scene were Steve gets to tell Miranda off. Though given the lousy way this show is treating Steve -- turning him into a deaf, boring old coot -- I'm not hopeful. But seriously, there should be a moment where Steve confronts Miranda about her hypocrisy, and basically serves as the voice of so many fans ticked off about this crazy amnesia the series has developed. "What," he should say on his and our behalf, "so all these years together were a lie? You didn't marry me just because we had Brady; you refused my first proposal, fell back in love with me over the first year of Brady's life, and then you, YOU proposed to me! "When I had that one night stand, you screamed at me that I "broke us," moved out and put me through hell for a year. Then we went to therapy, reconfirmed our love and got back together. And now, now out of the blue, you decide you have to betray us and negate all our years together because you 'hate our marriage and you're trapped'?!? "Have you lost your mind? Has the booze turned you into a completely different person? Because you're not acting like the Miranda I've known for 20 damn years."

I actually wasn’t sure how they were going to make Miranda and Che get it on, but having Miranda slamming shots in Carries kitchen, like a teenager, whilst she’s supposed to be nursing her best friend. I actually felt sorry for Carrie, in bed, dazed and confused, in pain, vulnerable and woken to Miranda getting fubbed off by Che! Why so intense? Why not just kiss? Is Cynthia Nixon proud of this story? Lest we forget how she reacted in ‘twenty something girls’ because of the Jell-O shots and the beach party (This is fun. How long do we have to stay?) I always hated Miranda’s sarcastic, unfunny, one-liners, but in comparison to this mess, those are like the good old days! She left her best friend to piss the bed, then thought it was funny and her excuse is, I’m not happy, I hate my life, whilst showing zero remorse for her husband or how humiliated she made her best friend. I thought the last episode was as low as this show could get, but this is just beyond words. If I was Carrie I would have fucked Miranda off, there and then. That was inexcusable. This show has done Steve dirty. He was a good guy, who always treated Miranda well, she always treated him like a dog, she always thought she was better than him. He should have stayed with Debbie, she loved and respected him. The Rose/Rock story is painfully boring. Every mum just accepts Roses new identity but Charlotte has to behave like she’s been living in an Amish community for 20 years and not New York. Also, how could they have such a huge storyline and moment with Che and Miranda then move on three months in the same episode? So, is episode 6 going to start with Miranda and Steve being completely separated and we don’t get to see any immediate aftermath! What the fuck is this shit? Oh, I almost forgot about the joking about opioid addiction (now I understand pain killer addiction!) Seriously, are we going there now? Apparently we all need a lesson in race relations, but mocking a serious health epidemic is cool!

[@captinzoom]

im fine with Miranda being gay but the cheating on steve cause she is bored seems so false to me. i hope they dont give her this happy ending. i hope she loses everything and has to start over

[@nealwhaley63]

Ten bucks says Miranda enters a fling with Che thinking “I understand what women need because I am one.” And, SURPRISE, Che dumps her for not being a good partner. To be rejected by a man is no big deal, but to be rejected by one of her own will destroy her. Hee, hee….

[@Tenebarum]

I’m in on that. I’m having Steve moving to Florida to open a bar and Brady going with him because Miranda is a poor mother who sets no boundaries for him. Let her hit skid row and have to hang out with the subway people. Because she never rode a subway, and Cynthia Nixons social justice warrior ass never had to mingle with the commoners.

[@jolly14579]

And speaking of the minority props and virtue signaling, have yall noticed that Lily has virtually no storyline? So the one cast member that wasn't an "add on" and isn't white basically plays a stereotype: quiet, obedient, invisible, perfect at piano and it seems school as well. She is basically just supporting cast for Rose. She barely even has any lines! We don't get anything from her - love interest or interests at all! And she was our little miracle at the end of the series. Makes me sad. We don't even know about Rose until the first movie! It's just another example that they really haven't changed how they treat those that don't look like them. But at least in the series they didn't try to pretend and I loved them for it. Hopefully I end up eating my words and she gets some sort of storyline. Anyway, just my two cents. Keep the videos comin!

[@fieryheadedgirl]

Woa.... GOOD POINT...

[@neerasinha-frazer2094]

In the first draft of the script, Big died choking on a Snapple.

[@vaskylark]

Carries peeing in a Snapple bottle was just too much. I was thoroughly grossed out. Hip surgery, really? What's next, the Carrie wears depends episode? I mean, come on! Women in their fifties are have much more going on in their lives than the crap they are showing. It's ridiculous. I am in my early fifties and have nothing in common with them. I feel much younger than these ladies. Hell, the Golden Girls was way better than this trash of a show.

[@katietyler8865]

I do agree with their pathetic approach to women aging. But hip replacement is more common now - I do have friends in their 50s who have had it done. They could have actually treated this in a naturally funny way. What a disappointment.

[@omalleysmith9100]

It was SO bad I even felt sorry for the Peach Snapple bottle for chrissakes. I didn't even know it was possible for a show to insult and degrade every ethnicity, identity, gender and sexual orientation all in one fell swoop. At this point, I'm taking it as a tasteless satire that is mocking itself so I might be able to have a laugh along the way. Kim Cattrall is looking like the big winner for passing on this fiasco.

[@ErinCRN]

Being a nurse for 23 years, this show was so medically inaccurate in so many ways. It was so bad. This show is getting worse by the minute. It’s like a bad car wreck you can’t turn away from. So many cringe worthy moments. Remember when SATC had the best quotable lines? I still quote lines from it and I don’t even realize it. Not this dumpster fire. No witty lines. No smart writing.

[@wandabrenot7928]

“Am I peeing?” Oh did the drugs make you lose your hearing too?

[@jodibrooklyn1033]

Glad you are a medical professional because maybe you can answer the question of how they allowed pearl earrings and a necklace during/after surgery???

[@ErinCRN]

@@jodibrooklyn1033 exactly! I work in PreOp and Recovery and we don’t allow jewelry of any kind. And why is she wearing a cardigan too? They have her not using hip precautions for all of it and in Anthony’s van she has some kind of hip brace that we never see again. Hip replacement patients don’t use crutches. They are allowed to be weight bearing. They use a walker to keep them steady and prevent falls. No reason for crutches. It’s all so dumb.

[@akitachow]

Yes. And I had the whole 9 yards of treatment for breast cancer, and I remember the way Samantha’s treatment was covered.

The people watching didn't piss anyone off. It just shows the absence of creativity and talent coming out of Hollywood which IMO is across the board with most of what comes out.

[@Barbraotten]

Sure hope your throat doesn’t feel as bad as it sounds. Great commentary. Another thing that bothers me is that Che is smoking pot constantly. Why on earth would the Miranda we used to know be attracted to a pothead.

[@lisagay4958]

As a fan of the original show, I knew I would be tuning in to the reboot just to be nosey (I think🤷🏾‍♀️). I do think that, unlike many other series, Sex in the City has had the uncommon opportunity to give the audience a full story of each character. We had six seasons and two (rather mediocre) films. I am of the belief that this reboot is just beating a horse that was cremated years ago. This show lacks the sophistication that we saw in the original. It does come off as desperate. I probably will continue to tune in because what else is there to watch on Thursday 😂.

[@taina2622]

Lololol beating a horse that was cremated years ago... that was gold. You have more wit than the writers of this show!

Miranda has apparently forgotten back in season 1 when she was met a lesbian and later kissed her and said "yes, no doubt straight" and the woman says "yes, you are”

[@djpekky]

And the mental gymnastics people in the”Miranda was always a lesbian” camp. “But lesbians are not attracted to every woman. “ or “She only loved Steve because he was the father of her child.” Damn, at least make her bisexual. That would make it more bearable to me (especially with the scarcity of bisexual female characters who end up with women, which when that happens, people go all “she was gay/compulsory heterosexuality, etc”) which spills to people who go through this in real life.

[@fieryeurochick3194]

Che doesn’t seem to be too comfortable with herself as she’s always high.

[@cozy46]

I can't stand her.

[@Whocares1976]

High, bringing large bottles of booze, for someone who is probably on pain killers, fingering someone in someone’s home. Just a disrespectful person, point blank. Plus after Miranda is now pretending that Steve , who has never pleasured her the entire relationship apparently, despite their love story, starting with a one night stand, Che had a smirk on their face, and was leaving like a loser, while Miranda was clinging to them. Seems like they are only interested in hookups and sexual conquests. I personally would never disrespect someone by engaging in an affair with someone who is married with children. It doesn’t speak well of the person, and your relationship is starting off with pain, and lying.

I understand there’s a different climate in today’s world than there was during the run of the series and the movies. However, when I watch tv I want to escape everything going on and go into a world where nothing ever made since. Like carries wardrobe and home and her job and how she never went to buy groceries but somehow was fabulous. We never questioned the show because we wanted to be the characters and we wanted to drink cosmos and wear beautiful outfits and go to fabulous places and see what our ladies were up to. Now the writers are forcing modern day issues on us as if we don’t hear it enough. Tv shows are about escaping into another world. Shoot why can’t they take on another generation of ladies in their 30s who were just like them ?

[@jennifernaumann4945]

I completely agree. TV is about escapism. A new group of women in their 30's or 40's would've been better

[@taina2622]

Agreed! The original show brought up a few politicized topics here and there but it was always light hearted. It originally aired in 1998, which means pre 9/11 and they never even brought that up at all! (most likely because it was so devastating) so why the need to include all the political issues of today's society? We want to escape our problems with TV, not be bombarded with them :(

And another thing…I don’t get Miranda’s reaction to having sex with a woman for the first time. There was no “what have I done,” no regret for cheating on her husband. No shock even that she was seen by Carrie. Is being with a woman something she’d been thinking of? No background at all. It’s like we don’t even know these people anymore.

As a 41 year old who needs a new hip from years of skateboarding, believe me, you feel that shit all day everyday!

[@Remerdre]

Gotta love the fat-shaming at the end of the episode when Carrie passes on the conventionally unattractive physical therapist. I spent this entire episode yelling at the screen. And I felt vindicated by the AV Club review, which agrees with me that Carrie needed surgery because she spent her life in stilettos.

[@jenbialek]

Thank you for pointing this out. I personally found the health insurance approved therapist cute!

well, I actually thought that Miranda was right. She never was really the whole housewife personality but that was what made her mature to see that she can have the “motherly” and “housewife” side BUT I guess the movie ruined it, if Miranda could have been a bigshot lawyer and a mother/housewife that would have been a better plot to have a balance in between. I just dont buy the “we have to be single” to be happy. Not having sex is not equal to being unhappy. Freaking annoying how they put too much emphasis on “being old”
