I saw something on tiktok today that said 'Carrie was to Big what Janice was to Chandler' 👀👀😬 I rewatch it all the time tbh, it's my fave show but now that Gen Z have found it, there are a lot of hot takes available online What do people think of Carrie, now that 20 years have passed? Who's your fave? x

Outdated and utter shite now but I enjoyed it at the time

diddl · 10/01/2025 23:56

(maybe due to an earlier fondness for Northern Exposure?)

Ooh yes-Chris in the morning!

Wasn't Aiden controlling?

Delphiniumandlupins · 10/01/2025 23:46

I liked it but not the films and haven't watched AJLT. Going against popular opinion but I actually liked Aiden and never saw the attraction of Big (maybe due to an earlier fondness for Northern Exposure?)

I found it entertaining at the time but now it does seem pretty awful! The films really harmed any revival it could have had - dreadful!

But it has had a revival - and a truly terrible one at that!

GooseMoose2 · 10/01/2025 23:28

I loved it at the the time but I find it dated now ( but still enjoy )

Samantha my fave, the most genuine and warm and a good friend.

Big awful but didn’t see at the time. Also very wooden acting.

GellerYeller · 10/01/2025 23:27

@DaisyDukesAuntie I think the actor playing Steve is hard of hearing now, that may be a reason for the accent possibly.

I agree with PPs that it’s of it’s time. I loved Stanford and I think Anthony is an absolute legend. When he’s shopping with Charlotte and announces ‘Chanello’ on entering! Love him.

The second film is just appalling but I’ll forgive them the first twenty minutes or so just for THAT wedding and Liza.

AJLT is far from ideal but I enjoy LTW’s brilliantly bonkers couture, and it’s nice to see where the characters are now.

roibustea · 10/01/2025 23:26

Very watchable but never really much liked any of them, and I could never figure out why they'd be friends? None of them seemed to have anything in common?

They all came across as rather feeble to me, like they'd squeal and cry if they saw a muddy puddle. And they spent all their time talking about shoes and boys, and bitching. And they were all so desperate, and flinging themselves at men who clearly weren't really that interested; if a guy keeps dating other women, refuses to admit you're his girlfriend or introduce you to his friends and family, and then marries someone else half his age (!), this is really not some romantic star-crossed lover affair - it's a pig of a man who really is not that into you! Not the sort of women I'd consider good role models tbh, or the sort of women I'd have any interest in befriending. And (final rant, sorry!) the whole show had Samantha as this sex-loving, equal rights, if-a-man-can-sleep-around-then-why-can't-a-woman character that I assumed was to show that females can actually enjoy sex, and don't always need cuddles and flowers - and then they have her break down and show that she was just psychologically damaged. So a woman who likes sex and doesn't demand commitment must have something seriously wrong with her? Very enlightened... Don't remember any of the blokes crying because their enjoyment of casual sex was actually just an expression of their trauma. But yeah, watched all the original series and films, and weirdly, would watch them again 😂

Not bothered with the latest iteration though.

SATC is my favourite show ever!

I don’t understand the comparison to Janice and Chandler though- Chandler was AWFUL to Janice, often while they were dating. Big was a playboy but he was always very honest to Carrie about what he wanted, she just ignored that as she loved him. Chandler was horrible to Janice, in fact they all were, when her only crime seemed to be that she had an annoying laugh.

I tried watching it a few times but found it incredibly fake and boring. Never understood the attraction and, especially, the obsession with the fashion taste of the S J-P character - seemed pretty awful to me.

I used to love that image of writing at your New York window watching life outside and wearing fabulous outfits and heels.

I went to live in New York and loved every minute and the only thing which resembled it was never cooking at home.

I know someone who worked on the series and apparently SJP was nice and mixed with everyone . As well as being about the friendships it was also about NYC and the trends that started there which they got spot on . And oh the fashion ! Loved the SJP is not conventionally pretty but wore it all so well . Samantha had fabulous outfits too.

My fave was the last episode where Carrie and Big got together ( the dress !! ) but mostly the scene of Miranda gently bathing her dementia suffering MIL . Made me howl

Aww that was sweet of mirsnda tbh

Maintain that she didn't want to be with Steve though

Yes, that dress lives in my head!

Edited - im in love with new York, Paris and London- they're my fave places and part of it is to do with Darren star! (Satc, emily in paris)

I think this interview perfectly encapsulates her. She is very much the quiescencel New Yorker.

I'm still mystified as to what the F happened to Steve's accent in AJLT 🧐

Oh no, have they ruined Steve?

Big was gorgeous though wasnt he

Absofuckinglutely!

I did meet and work with her several times. She is one the nicest actors I have worked with. Incredibly down to earth.

The only two actors who topped her in my experiences were Drew Barrymore (she is exactly who she appears to be. I would have brought her home to live with me if I could).

And Jeff Goldblum. That man makes you feel like the most important person on earth. He has a bloody gift. Sadly he did not fall madly in love with me. Lol

Lol id love Jeff or Stanley tucci to fall for me!

I love that, she does seem down to earth in her interviews - and drew barrymore seems nice tbh

Sky max are showing all series again on Saturday nights and it's the highlight of my weekend ! Nearly at an end now as she is currently dating Alexander.

The first movie I ever saw him in was Earth Girls Are Easy. Lol

A ridiculous movie but man he was a tall glass of hotness.

He very much seems like an alien. Very otherworldly. That man got more than his fair share of charm.

Show quote history

He comes across as very charismatic when interviewed
