Such financial security lowers the show’s stakes to near-nonexistence. They buy whatever they want, do whatever they want, travel to Paris whenever they want. Whether through their own high-powered jobs or via marriage to a master of the universe like Big or Harry, Carrie and her friends-once striving career women whose expensive tastes sometimes resulted in obscene credit-card debt-now live the lives of one-percenters. And then, beyond the gender binary, there was Che-a comedian who confused motivational speeches for jokes, a preposterously on-the-nose embodiment of every attribute the original cast was missing and a gift to meme makers everywhere.ĭespite its fearless (or naive) embrace of cringe, AJLT did tiptoe around one delicate topic: money.
Carrie’s real-estate agent Seema, with her cigarettes and her love of handbags, might have been a bit too alternate-reality-Bradshaw on paper, but the great Sarita Choudhury made the character her own. Charlotte’s posh filmmaker pal Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) seemed underwritten by comparison. Nya Wallace, a law professor who, after a rough first day of class, looks past Miranda’s flailing-white-lady exterior to find a confidant, was the most fully realized of these characters. If AJLT’s casting of a new woman-of-color friend for each member of the central trio came off as conspicuously compensatory, it was also, admittedly, preferable to the alternative: more whitewashing of a city where white people make up less than 43% of the population. I mean, were we supposed to laugh or cry when Miranda’s first hookup with Carrie’s nonbinary podcast boss left a convalescent Carrie to soak her bed in pee? Because I just felt deeply uncomfortable. Carrie’s mourning took King out of his comfort zone, not only slowing the pace of a narrative that had always been defined by the kinetic motion of city life, but also introducing an element of tragedy that never quite meshed with the more familiar, breezier story lines.
Executive producer Michael Patrick King, who has long been the keeper of the franchise created by Darren Starr, and whose other TV projects include 2 Broke Girlsand The Comeback, excels most at putting bon mots in the mouths of over-the-top female characters. The allegations that the man whose character embodied SATC’s romantic ideal had preyed upon women only underlined what should’ve been obvious from the moment the show was announced-and what the season’s scripts would go out of their way to confirm: AJLT was over before it even started.
As Ferris Bueller, an obscure alter ego of Sarah Jessica Parker’s husband Matthew Broderick, once said: Life comes at you fast. In a depressingly contemporary third act, after multiple women accused Noth of sexual assault, his scenes were cut from subsequent episodes and the ad was pulled. The premiere caught viewers off guard with Big’s unintentionally hilarious death by Peloton Chris Noth, the actor who played him, was soon resurrected in an opportunistic but inevitable Peloton commercial. Despite lukewarm reviews and the absence of Kim Cattrall’s iconically libidinous Samantha Jones, the sequel had what HBO Max would pronounce the “best debut day of any series” in its short history.
