And Just Like That..is anyone actually enjoy it?

[TheRemotePart]

I’m three episodes in, and I’m like “meh”
Not very funny and depressing…
Hate all the “box ticking “ it’s overtaking the show
Charlottes daughter can’t just be a tom boy ( which in itself would be funny ) she has to be -whatever they were saying? Transgender?
3 min “comedy sketch” about being Bi….?
Charlotte and Stanford don’t like each other?
Big wanking ..( eew)
Steve just going “eh? What?”
Carrie totally ignoring Charlottes warning about Miranda’s drinking?
Miranda’s Prof saying she was a White Saviour when trying to point out to the guard he was being unreasonable?
Everyone mentioning their age every scene?
Why would Carrie be putting herself through the embarrassment of a vulgar podcast when she’s clearly retired writing and married to a millionaire?

I’m debating whether to just imagine them, all running home from the desert where my imagination left left after SATC2 …

Agree with that. There is zero self awareness in any of the characters. They are all written / acted as people the audience should aspire to be.

If this were all new characters it would be easier. As it is, last series we got Steve in a complete personality swap. I know we all change a bit as we get old, relationships shift, women do leave men for other women, it all happens. But this wasn’t done convincingly. The characters were bent to fit the plot.

Che was a cipher, whose main personality was being a douche. Again, hard to invest in that.

The series would have been significantly better if they had stuck to the original story for Miranda. She and Nya, her professor, were supposed to have developed a relationship. But Cynthia Nixon campaigned hard for Sara Ramirez to be her love interest instead and they created Che, who is a pretty much a self-insert for Ramirez herself. Miranda, bored of her marriage and finding herself attracted to her professor, could have been an interesting, believable storyline. But it would have needed to have some acknowledgement of the fact that this was very unexpected for Miranda as she had assumed herself to be straight up until then.

Instead we had Miranda deeply drawn to a tiresome grandstander who has polyamorous-bisexual-nonbinary-Mexican-Irish in lieu of a personality. Never considering that this is a surprise in terms of her sexuality, dismissing Charlotte's surprise because Che isn't a woman. And Nya just randomly been giving a storyline about whether she and her husband should have a baby, which was totally out of place and shoe-horned in because the actress had been hired before they decided to bump her from Miranda's love interest.

I think Melania Trump wore something similar on a trip. I’m not sure who else would though.

That's very interesting @Wanderingowl I agree that story line sounds better

D

Definitely better. Although making more of an effort with Steve’s character would also have helped!

Absolutely better. At least it would have made some sense. It could have been quite interesting

There is a podcast by the writers. I think every decision, storyline and character was absolutely thought out, planned and taken very seriously.
I think they didn’t write any of the characters as well rounded and complex. They relied on the storylines for their personalities. As a result they all became one dimensional, maybe apart from Carrie and her new friend (can’t remember her name!) who are talented actors. I also think they let Cynthia Nixon drive her own agenda.

I hope the story comes full circle with Miranda realising she has lost sight of who she is, dazzled by Che's 'profile'.

SATC Miranda would take her time defining herself as 'the girlfriend' as she clumsily did around Che's followers. And the grief she gave Carrie about going to Paris, when she did the same for Che.

Hopefully Steve will have some treatment and sort himself out.

Will Steve be in the new series? I assume that if him and Miranda are now separated, that he would be naturally written out?

I maybe wrong but wasn’t Steve friends with Aiden before Carrie and Miranda?

Yeah I think they owned the bar together didn’t they?

I thought Steve and Aidan met through Carrie and Maranda and then became good friends- and running / owning a bar.

This is correct. There was an episode where Carrie and Miranda bumped into Aiden and Steve and question how they became friends.

They bonded over breaking up with C&M and then Aiden became a silent partner in Steve’s bar.

Yes, I think they met through Carrie and Miranda, and then ran the bar together. It would have been too weirdly coincidental, as Miranda didn't meet Steve through Carrie, she met him in a (different) bar.

It was Miranda who encouraged Steve to open his own bar, which he did after they split the first time and she lamented how he had become driven after she drumped him.

Let's hope Steve is experiencing a new period of prosperity now he's been freed from Miranda. He's probably equally relieved to get away from the appalling Brady.

Narcissists aren’t self-aware. Again, entirely accurate depiction.

Did the characters in the original have any self-awareness though? Samantha did I think.

Carrie in particular, but the others at times, were awful, selfish, self-centred and shallow people. The aspirational bit was the friendship.

Yes Miranda in sex,in he city would never, have had relationship with someone as awful as Che,,Nya,would have worked much better and get more realistic.

Miranda in SATC had a great bullshit radar. Che would have got nothing out of her but an eye roll.

Holy fuck!!!!!!

hell has literally frozen over

Wow! I wonder what the atmosphere will be like on set? And how much they had to pay KC?
