R33 I second that emotion. It's a very ugly country filled with mean victims and want to be dictators. I work in it and when I go home at the end of the week I want something that soothes me. These familiar faces - in many ways as calming as watching The Golden Girls-let me breathe. Yes the writing is sub par compared to even their second film. I never laughed out loud and hard the way I did when that pussy shot in Samantha's face. I think for me I saw it as a thin drama. Michael Patrick lost all sense of place and timing and purpose. Often their comic moments made me think how much I really miss SATC. This show made SATC look The Wire. I mean were we really going watch Carries at 65 dating. If you are happy she ended up with Big then your show is done. I don't blame the actors. Really good parts are few- get the money while you can. Acting is job not enlightenment. I won't miss it but I will miss the characters( except Aidan. I never liked him and I always thought he wasn't smart enough for Carrie). But I'll live. This why Mary Tyler Moore stopped her show. A sitcom only has a short shelf life. Or else it will end up like MASH.

I watched it and will miss it even though I have felt it could have been a much, much better show. They shot themselves in the foot by starting off the show with Big dying and having sad Carrie moping around the first season. The show should have started with Carrie already having gotten over his death. Also, that Che Diaz was a complete washout from the get go. No way Miranda would have fallen head over heels with that person as her first foray into lesbianism. And they should have focused on Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte, and possibly Anthony, as the main characters, with more guest appearances from actors from the original series. The new women just never clicked.

Cynthia Nixon wrecked her own character, like she does everything else. I know everyone likes to paint Cattrall or SJP as the villainess of the series, but it's really Nixon.
The crusty old sardine can just couldn't stand to play it straight anymore, or to play a part as-written. She had to bring her batshit politics into it, and drag down the whole show. She's like a low-rent Susan Sarandon, always ranting and hijacking other people's microphones for her screeds nobody wants to hear.
Check this, Red: No one wants to see a story about menopausal shrews going dyke at 60. No one wants to be shame-baited by a podcast host of indeterminate gender.

Ha! It started out shitty and got progressively shittier. Entirely predictable given SJP alienating a core cast member. The anemic ratings reflect it.
"While And Just Like That… started strong in terms of new HBO Max signups as well as ratings, with a premiere ranking among the top 10 in HBO Max’s history, viewership has waned over time. The Season 3 premiere was watched by 429,000 households, per Samba TV, down from 463,000 in Season 2."
For comparison's sake, "The Last of Us" averaged 32 MILLION viewers an episode. Even the shitty "House of the Dragon" got 25 mil each ep. AJLT barely got a million, even after factoring in beyond daily + 3 ratings. And are you cunts aware that THOSE cunts (on the show) collectively made $5 million per episode? "The Last of Us" has a TOTAL budget of $10 mil per ep, even when Pedro was on.
AJLT could've been decent without that shrew Sarah Jessica and her faghag-BFF MPK – and with the COMPLETE original cast – but they got fucked that one harder than me at Studio 54 in '79. There is truly zero financial argument for a show that is beyond tired and CLEARLY not resonating with anyone over the age of 35.

I suspect HBO realized that this was not going to be the syndication bonanza and space filler that SATC was. It may draw in first run audiences, but it probably doesn't generate re-watchings like a truly popular show. Hate watching is not something one does repeatedly.
If the show was truly camp rather than just plain incompetent, it might have more of a future---even a movie that often is quite dull like "Valley of the Dolls" has substantial camp appeal and if SJP realized how silly her character was, she could become the next Faye Dunaway with a bit more scenery chewing. And Charlotte has always had camp potential with her prissy Fifth Avenue outlook.

The show also lost a huge character in it AJLT run - the City itself. Sarah always said that it was a main character but the women were hardly in it. It wasn't involved in any of their storylines. That is the problem when all of your characters are fabulously wealthy that money is never an object. It's not realistic, not for NYC. You have Carrie begrudgingly moving into a 16 million dollar palace in the west village. You have rats in your back yard? Rip it out and spend 50k putting in a new one. Feeling lost? Have a fight with your boyfriend over a $7500 dining table. You came across the apartment of your dreams? Ok, just go ahead and bid 150k over asking. You run a stupid bread delivery service on the Upper East Side, the likes of which didn't even exist in gayest era of Chelsea? Open that storefront that is probably 75k a month in rent. Money is a huge issue in NYC, even with people who have it, because they always want more and are never living within their means. It was WILDLY unrealistic, and something no NYer could even relate to, rich or poor.

SATC premiered in the late 90's when the city was still an avenue of possibilities for many. But even as the original was ending, that idea was starting to become unrealistic. And the original show was in danger of becoming a parody of itself had it stayed on much longer.
I feel at this point, SJP should do a 180-career wise. Lay low for a few years and take roles in small, independent films. People forget that she was a good, versatile actress in the 80's and 90's. But she's become too identified with one role for the last 20 years. Look at Demi, Pam Anderson and Jamie Lee and see how they reinvited their careers. There's no reason SJP couldn't do something similar.

The original series worked, mostly, because Carrie was sort of a relatable New Yorker. She was into fashion, lived beyond her means, but felt like some semblance of a real person. Late in the run of the original series, they started to have her become something of a celebrity and the relatability died. By the time the series ended and the two films were made, Carrie was wearing haute couture that would probably not be seen outside of the Met Gala red carpet and Paris Fashion Week. Same with the new series, which I didn't watch (but I have seen pictures). The makers of this show really lost their way long ago. Add to the mix the blatant wokeness and it stunk even more.

So true about Cynthia Nixon. She wouldn't come back unless her DEMANDS were met, i.e. turning Miranda into Cynthia and it was horrible. She is so insufferbale IRL and that's what Miranda became.

Hasn't Cynthia gone on a "hunger strike" for something or other a couple of times now?

SJP's ego ruined the series. I laughed out love every time she was having sex without removing her bra. And for all of her serious literary creds, she allowed such junk to represent her. What was going on in the writers room when someone suggested a freak jerking off to a puppet?

If SATC hadn't come along SJP would have had a nice career in indies and on stage. But she wouldn't have the money she has now. She's very good in The Family Stone and I can definitely see her doing ensemble type work. She would be smart to stay away from Carrie type characters.

In the 90s New York was still an artistic, cultural and entertainment capital. Think Basquiat, Scorsese, Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Vera Wang, Donna Karin, Mapplethorpe . . . Where are their equivalents today in New York City?
It was also the days of the Limelight, The Tunnel, The Roxy, The Palladium . . . when people went out and socialized instead of using social media to hookup.
Broadway in the 90s still hadn't become the venue for jukebox musicals and film to Broadway adaptations: Death becomes Her, The Great Gatsby, Sunset Blvd, Back to the Future, The Notebook, Some Like It Hot, Beetlejuice, Pretty Woman, Tootsie, Mrs. Doubtfire . . .

Basquiat and Mapplethorpe's reputations really grew in the 90s, r134. I think that's what r133 was trying to say.
Anyway, he's correct about everything else. NYC today has lost a lot of what made it unique. It's basically a playground for the international filthy rich and trustafarians.

R135 Thank you. My basic point is correct. And just because an artist dies doesn't mean that their art, influence and reputation die with them. Andy Warhol died in 1987. Yet he remained an important part of New York culture. A culture that unfortunately really no longer exists

Why would someone like Cynthia Nixon, who purports herself to be a serious actress, want to play a character that's basically Cynthia Nixon? Doesn't seem like much of a challenge nor does it require any acting skill.

Always thought the original show worked because it was ultimately a show about loneliness: how a person can be in the midst of a crowd of people, and yet feel complete alone. And that's what made the show enjoyable; some times the women were able to go come together and comfort each each, but somethings they just had to soldier on by themselves. I actually think this show might have been a good thing (though maybe a more complicated story) if is centered around how being an older woman means being invisible, a person no one wants to listen to even though you know some shit, your body going haywire & your doctor won't help you (now that I list this, it would be a depressing show). But anyway, the sort of Old Lady Fantasy that it turned into...ridiculous.

I hate watched the first two seasons and started season three with the same expectation/intention, but something odd happened a couple of episodes in: I started to really enjoy it. I know I’m probably alone in that but I think getting rid of that Che monstrosity and the second token black woman (Miranda’s friend) helped keep it a bit tighter character-wise. It wasn’t just one episode either, I’ve enjoyed all of it. It’s felt a lot more like the original series.
So all I’d say is if anyone here loved Sex and the City but gave up with season 1 or 2 of And Just Like Shat, and hasn’t bothered with season 3 yet, give it a go.

“It’s the end of a very long week ❤️💋,” she wrote alongside a photo of a sunset over a body of water. Cattrall appeared as Samantha Jones in the original “Sex and the City” series that aired on HBO from 1998 to 2004.

i also understand why HBO shut it down. way too expensive to produce so people could just have a hate watch.
