Sorry I can't come out tonight. Super busy adding photos of Carrie and Samantha in happier times to my vision board.

I don't care if it's only a cameo, I'm going to celebrate Samantha Jones return all season long! She is the seasoning this reboot is missing.

nobody cares, but i am actually willing to defend and just like that for the following reasons:

it's one of few reboots that i actually find justifiable, since the original series followed the lives of four women within the context of modern relationship dynamics (the fact that Samantha isn't in the reboot is a big fail, but Kim Cattrall has her reasons not to participate and I respect that)

the scenes that read like wikihow listicles on how to be woke (for instance the saree scene) actually aren't a new addition to the canon, since the original satc was also a how to guide to life in the city (which was also stated explicitly at one point), and a lot of it is about figuring out the rules of relationships and modern life

people just now noticing that they're all very wealthy women is insane to me. maybe their wealth as single women 25 years ago is easier to romanticise, but they were rich women from the beginning

che diaz is a good choice (fight me). they behave extremely shittily towards miranda, which does infuriate me, but what made the original series so special is that the characters weren't morally black or white, they are very human. and i was pleasantly surprised by the fact that they weren't portrayed as a perfect angel and the posterchild of their identity like many lgbtq characters have to be in media. so i hate them but i will defend them

on that note: miranda's changing sexuality and her mid-life crisis aren't that shocking, and she is the perfect character through which the show can explore sex- and loveless marriages, alcoholism, the feeling of dissatisfaction with one's own life, and many other things. the reboot doesn't show these women's happy perfect lives, because that would be boring, and, suprise suprise, life is still complicated after you get married and have kids.

charlotte's kids are spoiled upper class brats? yeah no shit

when people complain about the reboot not having the same vibe as the original series, i think that they're missing the point. it can't have the same snappy wit as the first three seasons (which is both easier to turn into a meme/iconic moment (btw i love those scenes to death, i'm not criticising them)) because their lives are different, but also satc had already evolved past that; the later seasons did explore longer story lines, and we watched the women grow and tap into their emotions and build relationships over longer periods of time;

That being said, I will always remember the original much more fondly and will continue to rewatch it and revisit it, whereas I doubt that I will form the same kind of connection to the reboot.

And Just Like That… Aidan and I, reback on the same page.

So, we all know that several already renewed shows are gonna get cancelled just like it happened in the middle of 2020 quarantine right? I think the only ones safe are big shows like The Bear, Only Murders, Stranger Things etc etc

And shows like Bridgerton that are finished and ready to go won't get released dates till the strike is over, they want the cast to promote

I have zero hopes for renewals of shows like Shadow and Bone and Six Of Crows

Something I truly adore about the reboot of sex and the city is that it shows grown women being happy and living fulfilling lives without children (obviously Miranda and Charlotte have kids, but it's empowering that it showcases that they are more than just "women with kids") as someone who doesn't want kids it's genuinely so nice to see these women so happy and confident. I do know we see basically everyone in relationships, but between the original and the reboot I feel like they did a great job of showing women past 30 being single, and HAPPY. (I've been feeling the societal pressure hard, and it's so validating tbh)
