Well, my title is an old cliche, but it doesn't come near to the cliches that this series is using. I am an ex- SATC fan, having matured and given away the box set after movie 2. I never liked Carrie, she was just collateral damage, I watched for Samantha and Miranda, and sometimes Charlotte, although i would liked to have slapped her some days. Steve, Harry and Big were ok. I honestly felt sorry for Big, putting up with little miss C, and her neuroses. Well lucky ol' him and Samantha, bailing out of this before it was too late. I missed the first episode, but I've seen 2-5 and am waiting for the last (i hope). It's been well-documented about how nuts Miranda is now, how silly Charlotte is and how everything Carrie is. I went through my 50 and 60s with none of this rubbish, admittedly not in NY and designer clothes, obviously not as much money, but how realistic can it be?
Let me tell you a secret - Che is not funny. She is a striking attractive person, but funny she isn't. Bringing in people of colour and different ethnicities to be relevant is more than patronising - what they went through the previous series with never meeting a person of colour? They were teeming with gays, but oh my, we fogot transgenders, non-binary and lesbians. Sometimes you think you see the glimmer of what was once a funny idea, but it's dead on arrival.
How if Carrie is so devastated about Big's passing does she flit around wearing designer (beautiful) garments, being glamorous so soon?
The episode about Big's first wife was embarrassing and while the whole thing, once about strong, intelligent, independent women is now about snivelling ancient confused crones - in their 50s mind - it would have been funnier to put them all in a home and let them go.
