Deirdre Reynolds: Sex and the City spin-off is just toe-curlingly bad
sex and the pity | It's nothing to do with the fact that the remaining three ladies, shown as being in their fifties on the show and ranging from 59 to 60 in reality, aren't exactly spring chickens any more Kim Cattrall Airing here on Sky Comedy, the Sex and the City spin-off limped towards the halfway point this week, and I'm no longer mad that it's so toe-curlingly bad - worse than that, I'm sad. When the HBO 'dramedy' first tottered onto TV screens back in 1998, following the lives of four single friends living in New York, it shattered taboos around everything from female pleasure to boardroom gender politics, and paved the way for a new brand of feminist television from Girls to The Mindy Project. Back then, we were all clamouring to identify as one of the fab four: be it fashionable Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), whipsmart Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), picture perfect Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) or sexually liberated Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall). Kim Cattrall Today's News in 90 Seconds - July 6th As a newly qualified journalist, catching up on Darren Star's creation during the heady early noughties, there are no prizes for guessing which one in my friend group I fancied myself as, though it's taken a decade or two to figure out that, unlike writer Carrie, tragically you can't live off penning a single newspaper column per week, no matter how sassy it is. Fast forward to 2025, and now, the only one any of us aspire to be is Samantha, after Cattrall had the good sense to leap from the sinking ship that was Sex and the City 2 in 2010, while trousering a rumoured $1m for a minutes-long cameo in the season two finale of And Just Like That in 2023. It's nothing to do with the fact that the remaining three ladies, shown as being in their fifties on the show and ranging from 59 to 60 in reality, aren't exactly spring chickens any more. There are plenty of top tier shows such as Hacks (starring 73 year-old Jean Smart) and Somebody Somewhere (starring 53 year-old Bridget Everett) with older female protagonists. It's that the beloved characters appear to have been lobotomised since the original series, based on Candace Bushnell's 1997 book of the same name. Take, most egregiously, Miranda, one the sarcastic rock of sense on Sex and the City, who has been reduced to an embarrassing meme in the latest installment of And Just Like That, and whose ex-husband Steve (played by David Eigenberg), a series regular, has apparently just dropped off a cliff. Read more Or Aidan (John Corbett), the once swoony furniture designer, who has been rewritten into such an insufferable drip of a divorced dad, that you wonder why Carrie would wait five minutes for him, let alone five years, as the excuse of a storyline demands. Now, in the grand scheme of things, I understand that a disappointing TV show is the least of the world's worries right now. On the other hand, what's airing round the clock over on the news channels is also part of the reason why good quality escapism has never been more essential. And Just Like That hasn't just jumped the shark - it's backflipped clean over it. For us Millennials who bought the box sets, coffee table books and movie premiere tickets, before streaming was ever a thing, it's a betrayal made only worse by Carrie retroactively branding the show's anti-hero Mr Big (Chris Noth), who also had the foresight to drop dead on an exercise bike in episode one of the revival, as 'a big mistake'. Honestly, these writers aren't making it any easier to defend the erstwhile singles poster girl, who has been recast by the TikTok generation as a red flag magnet, not to mention a toxic friend, who even as a fifty-something widow is still lambasting Miranda for eating her last yogurt. Still, like all SATC devotees, I'll Carrie on in the hope that Shoe the cat can save the franchise - and drown my sorrows with a large glass of Sarah Jessica Parker's Invivo X wine if not.
