Late to this… persevered through it but god, it’s awful. Miranda is sooo annoying. All the woke stuff is just so trite.

I am kind of interested in Carrie’s storyline so will watch to the end but I’m not sure why!

Hurry up and watch ladies. First two are on sky. The outfits do not disappoint 😉

'The outfits do not disappoint 😉'

EXCELLENT!!! Can't wait 😁

Just watched episode one. I am hate watching I’m afraid! I don’t even like the fashion, although it was definitely ridiculous eye-catching in this episode! In SATC, I loved the relationships between the characters and the amazing script which ranged from laugh out loud funny to full of pathos. All this is totally lacking in AJLT. In fact, I would go as far as to say this episode was pretty boring! I got my phone out partway through, which was unheard of for new SATC episodes, and even series one AJLT. At least that was hilariously dire! This was just dull.

Particular low points: the opening scene full of filler-faced women launching themselves at their respective partners for a fuck fest. Their ‘come hither’ faces were verging on demonic! Also Miranda in a strap-on harness will haunt me at night. Stanny being mentioned as in Japan when we all know he’s dead. It’s insulting frankly.

Semi-high points: Seema is still a good character, and at least we didn’t have to witness an octogenarian parody of Steve shambling around the screen! More Anthony please, and can we inject a bit more actual funny humour in to the script? Or we’ll all be knock knock knocking on sad gal door (and nobody likes a sad gal).

Just watched ep 1&2 of season 2. The dialogue is so awkward, none of the characters speak in an ‘organic’ way. I did like some of the fashions but I am also definitely hate watching now. I am intrigued to follow Carrie’s journey. But the rest is making me cringe.

I can totally see Miranda having a midlife ‘awakening’ and going off with someone else but Che is just the worst.

Lottapianos · 22/06/2023 13:12

'More Anthony please, and can we inject a bit more actual funny humour in to the script?'

Yes please, on both counts!

Watched most of episode one like this 😱 with the odd laugh out loud and the odd swoon at the clothes, Carrie's final outfit especially. Always adored that dress

Lottapianos · 22/06/2023 13:56

Two episodes done. Oh dear god, its such pointless, meaningless, badly written trash. And not remotely in a good way. Che is still just AWFUL and Charlotte's two daughters are heading the same way. There were one or two flashes of the old Miranda in episode two but that's just not enough

Am I shallow enough to keep watching for the clothes and shoes? Yeah, probably 😁

magicstar1 · 22/06/2023 14:17

I'm just finishing the second episode and I'm pretty much hate watching it too. I miss the old sparkle that SATC had. There's no fun in watching this...Samantha is missed more than ever! There's far too much of Miranda and Che, and they actually make me queasy - Miranda is so needy.

The whole woke speak is very forced. The dialogue doesn't flow as every word has been examined, and probably changed over and over.

Oscarpapa · 22/06/2023 18:23

Hate watching continues. It’s pretty dire. Miranda is awful and I cannot bear Che. I think they should probably have left it alone and not brought it back to be honest.

Netaporter · 22/06/2023 18:25

Loving the fellow hate watchers 😂

cons first
-the ultimate cringe scene with Miranda/Che and the strap on. Make. It. Stop.
-Miranda’s full frontal scene. WTF?
-We thought the treatment of Steve’s character was terrible, but why are they suddenly making Miranda a bored housewife? just weird
-The treatment of Harry as an idiot
-Lily Eilish. ‘Check my privilege’ bollocks. Yawn.
-Charlotte’s filled face. Such a shame.

pros
-the reappearance of the ‘I wore a bird on my head’ bird. And the fabulous Vivienne Westwood dress
-all of seema’s outfits bar her hair/hood combo
-the pigeon handbag 😂
-lunch at Daniel, my fave NYC restaurant
-Anthony 🥰
-carrie’s white sweatshirt (need one of those in my life!)

Roll on next Thursday!

Lottapianos · 22/06/2023 18:32

'the reappearance of the ‘I wore a bird on my head’ bird. And the fabulous Vivienne Westwood dress'

I mean, just DREAMY 😍 the only thing I didn't like about that original look was the harsh red lipstick. Glad they ditched it this time

Hated the pigeon handbag 😁

paulhollywoodshairgel · 22/06/2023 18:43

I really could've done without a full frontal from Miranda 😱

paulhollywoodshairgel · 22/06/2023 18:46

Also Miranda attempting to put on a strap on... my eyes need a wash

FluffyCat17 · 22/06/2023 19:02

The pigeon bag was fabulous and I needed that having watched the episodes.

Why is Miranda basically servicing Che and not realising?

Liked the red thing on head thingy but spent most of that episode wanting to give the youngest daughter of that family a hug.

Oscarpapa · 22/06/2023 19:28

Che is so self obsessed. Miranda has had a complete personality change. Previously she was so level and had a career and now she’s just simpering around after Che. You had hoped by now they’d all be a bit more self assured and give less of a shit.

DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy · 22/06/2023 20:27

God I can't stand it. What the hell happened to this show?? Didn't particularly enjoy season one but Christ this is unwatchable. Couldn't care less about a single one of the characters. Charlotte is a ridiculous joke of a character. Harry is a nothing. Carrie.. cold and humourless. Don't even get me started on Miranda. It's a load of superficial disjointed meaningless drivel. I don't even find enjoyment in the costumes because I'm too busy fuming at the complete emptiness of it all. It's flat, dull and stupid. I'm furious!!

tothelefttotheleft · 22/06/2023 20:31

I thought series one was ok but the first two episodes of series two were not good at all.

This. They were quite painful to watch.

Oscarpapa · 22/06/2023 20:37

@DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy, I feel the same as you. Awful. I can’t find myself giving a shit about any of the characters.

newfriend05 · 22/06/2023 20:38

Just watched the first two episodes.. had to mute some parts as so cringeworthy ! The opening scenes were 🤦🏻‍♀️

ShinyPikachu · 22/06/2023 21:09

I watched both episodes earlier, and is it just me or was Carrie doing a weird babyish voice for part of that first episode? She sounded fine at other times so I don't know if she had maybe just been ill but it was odd.

I also didn't expect to see quite so much of Miranda throughout with the nude scenes and I swear if she posted on MN about the relationship with Che all the replies would be "LTB".

I can't decide if I love or hate the pigeon bag. The way Carrie was holding it at first it just looked like she was stroking a real pigeon which was odd but then when she was just waving it around I quite liked it then. Grin

Whatsthestorymorningglory95 · 22/06/2023 21:17

How are people managing to watch? It’s not showing in my now tv?

I’m on Sky Stream and can’t watch it until it’s aired! Which I believe is happening now.

Carrie has a pigeon bag?? After the big deal she made about the bird bag Big bought her 😂

Whatsthestorymorningglory95 · 22/06/2023 21:23

Ah right ok, thank you!

Netaporter · 22/06/2023 21:42

@LifeIsPainHighness Big bought her a Judith Leiber clutch bag which was a bejewelled monstrosity. The ‘I wore a bird on my head’ was from the jilted wedding. Today’s bag is a JW Anderson $890 plastic bird bag 😂

FrazzledFirefly · 22/06/2023 21:45

It's just dreadful 😕 I'm bored watching it.
