Have you been reading British Vogue's weekly commentary? It's spot-on and hilarious and I think you might love. The latest episode seemed, to me, particularly nonsensical: Why does Carrie need to wear heels when she's at home, alone? Does anyone really do this? Why does Lisa dress like she's going to a rave in 1993 Prague rather than a PBS documentarian?? Why did the costume designer feel like Charlotte would wear a fanny pack with her dog's face on it? And what writer can afford to keep an apartment in Manhattan that they only use for six months out of the year?? I could go on and on...
Please tell me what day of the week it was when all those fools went glamping and Seema waited to hear about her bank loan and a dining room table got delivered?
It’s funny that you ask this, though, because one of the things I think is bizarre about the show is exactly this! The edits are terrible and I can almost never tell who is where and when they are there.
This is spot on and the episode that bothers me the most- carrie’s insistence that she needs to wear her crazy shoes all over her hardwood floors with a neighbor below her.
1: no one wears their shoes inside anymore- gross.
2: why so selfish? Take off the stupid shoes. Oh, wait you’re the most important person out of the 8 B on the planet. I forgot.
3: the outfits are ridiculous. No one dresses like that on a daily basis.
It’s entertaining, at best. A waste of time at worst- and yet we still watch 😆🫣.
Yes! The shoes, I almost felt inclined to re-watch every old SATC episode after this to document all instances of Carrie barefoot in her apartment, curled up writing in her chair. It was so - ha- shoehorned in for the meet-cute.
I watched the first season, more accurately, hate watched after the first couple episodes praying it would redeem itself. When season 2 was announced I swore not to give it my streaming numbers!! This has not kept my morbid fascination from reading each episode summary/review wondering how it can possibly get any worse, yet ...
However, this is the fun summer reading I am here for, cannot wait!!
I was dumped by a friend because she didn’t like my carbon footprint marked by the fact that I watched SATC. I did love the original and have no idea why I watch this mess . Carrie is obnoxious. Aidan is just gross..( I was never an Aiden fan TBH) . Why do the women wear what they wear? Looking forward to this !
It’s just bad. Bad, bad, bad!!! They have become caricatures of their previous self’s. And the over the top acting and reacting is just cringy. But, like you, I will continue to watch🙇🏼♀️
My sister and I watch together and call it our hour of "hate this tv". Carrie has regressed to 1998 & yet is more selfish, ignorant & shallow than ever.
I didn't hate the other seasons as I now am so disappointed at the unrealistic asinineness this season! I still feel Miranda & Charlotte are at least true to themselves in a great way. What a shame!

No, looking now! Much like yourself, I could, and will, go on. I enjoy a good hate watch so much. (Enough to start a newsletter, apparently!)
I have a special notes doc to list all of my questions about this show. Endless!
I would so love to see this!
And yet it was also the best episode of the season thus far!
smashed the subscribe so hard i broke my finger
Haha thank you!! I will do my damndest to keep everyone laughing!!
Me too!😂
I am hoping that Aiden also gets killed off for that car/phone sex scene. It seems just.
Could not co-sign this more.

It has the “I can’t look away from the car crash” vibe
It does!!

I haven’t watched any of it, but the writing about it is consistently amazing.
Agreed!!
I'm with you! Haven't watched since the first season but hate read a-plenty.
And just like that… I have a new favorite Substack. Good lord, I cannot wait for the horrific accident on Rat Freeway.
STAY TUNED! In all seriousness, thank you!! I promise not to disappoint!
I haven’t brought myself to watch any of it yet.
Yours is an admirable stance. Maintain it at all costs.

Who on this earth stands cooking in the kitchen in full designer attire and heels???? Barf
SJP just can’t let go.
And then tell me why I care and am attaching my name to this question???
Thank you for this. 👠 I need all the spaces I can find to process this absolute insanity.
Thank you for reading! It is, in fact, insane!
It’s just bad. Bad, bad, bad!!! They have become caricatures of their previous self’s. And the over the top acting and reacting is just cringy. But, like you, I will continue to watch🙇🏼♀️
I couldn't get into And just like that because of how terrible I've heard it was. But I am excited to see what you write each week!!
Thanks, Maggie!
