Some FAQ (frequently asked questions) for u guysss (hope this helps) 🤍 An edit to my comments on Charlotte: I know overtime Charlotte becomes better and easier to watch I was trying to speak during those parts without revealing anything for people who haven’t seen it yet. Just wanna be mindful for those people. Also yes, I’m gonna make a video for each season & the movies & AYITL tysm for your support!
I actually did like when they interviewed randoms, they addressed the topics with different perspectives. Wish they could’ve done that more in later seasons
I really like those, many people face the same issue, not just white single women on their 30s. Its nice to see readers try to answer Carrie's questions on her writing
I don't think it was more edgy and dark. What was edgy about it? They drink beer instead cosmos? Season 1 was very mediocre and the cutaways were cheesy.
Well, I disagree. Carrie's columns may look unserious and all in good flirtatious fun. But they did reflect on dating issues and society's expectations at that time which roused interesting conversations amongst the four girls. However, they were not dark at all.
How I always saw it was, Charlotte loves sex but is not proud of herself when she is promiscuous (like with the Rabbi), and with the guys she’s dating she THINKS they could be love or her guy so sleeps with them but it doesn’t turn out that way so she’s disappointed but keeps searching. She’s always loved sex, she just keeps expecting every guy will be some big love when it’s usually not. The difference is, Samantha is openly proud of her escapades doesn’t expect anything more - that’s the part where Charlotte disagrees with. When Samantha had a relationship with a woman Charlotte was the most supportive because she liked how Samantha was committed, and she was also supportive of Richard. I love how flawed the women on the show were, makes it way more interesting and real.
All I can say is, the last time I tried to watch season 1, I totally understood why Big didn't want to commit to her. She came off so needy and kind of nuts. I don't think she really relaxed until....well, I won't spoil it, but they do something eventually that really puts them on the same level.
I read one analysis that said Big genuinely liked/loved her and most of their problems were because he wasn’t moving at the same breakneck speed as her and she wouldn’t slow herself down even though that would have been more effective to get her what she wanted.
I am rewatching for the first time in like 10 years and oh boy.. Carrie really looks so much different now that I am an adult. She broke every boundary, she stalked his ex wife and went to church to meet his mother.. she also made out with some random guy and never told him. Like I get it, they try to say he had commitment issues but I am shocked he stayed that long, she was a hot mess. The fact that they ended up together makes sense, they truly deserved each other.
@@christinehohenshil2769 i saw a video in 2020 that described something similar. When I initially watched the movies and then the show, I saw things from Carrie’s perspective as I had tumultuous relationship at the time. During my rewatch in 2018, I realized that Carrie was the problem. Her insecure attachment style is what drove Big to be avoidant and put up walls. The show painted him as the “villain” but he was honest and intentional yet Carrie couldn’t handle it. She selfishly had to have things her way on her time.
I agree that Charlotte was difficult to tolerate early on (at times), but I think her arc was the best in the show. She definitely becomes a better friend and person in the later seasons.
I love Charlotte so much . Isn’t she supposed to represent a woman trying to reconcile with her “conservative” upbringing and her more relaxed progressive lifestyle she’s growing into.
I loved the interviews. It underlined the 'city' in 'sex and the city'. It showed how many different people live in New York and that they all live a different life, solve their problems differently but at the same time they have alot in common
Charlotte is hypocritical- yes, but I get more irked and mad at Carrie. She is insecure, emotionally immature, VERY SELFISH, can’t face the truth of her wrongdoings and expects them to back her up, and judgmental as hell. You’re absolutely right: I don’t know why they are friends with her. Samantha always deserved better. Love her
Regarding Miranda at 4:30 Miranda had a lot of masculine traits. She was direct, argumentative, cynical, her features are sharp, she keeps her hair short which like you said may make people think she's a lesbian. She doesn't really comply with traditional female stereotypes. She a logical realist that while she looking for love, romance and softness aren't natural for. I think the show wanted to protray women like her as still feminine and that her leading with more masculine characteristics doesn't make her any less of a woman. Miranda actually makes some of the deepest connections in the show. Steve of course, skipper, and Robert. Which is juxtaposed to Charlotte who is romantic, soft, feminine, sometimes delusional but she has many more hookups that don't go anywhere. She has Trey which was a total failure because she liked the idea and the optics but she didn't love Trey as much as she loved the fantasy of him on paper. It wasn't until she embaced her true self that she found Harry. It wasn't until she came back down to earth and turned fantasy into reality that she married Harry. So when in Just Like That they turned Miranda into someone interested in women ift did a disservice to her original character. They originally wanted to show strong masculine serious women can find love, romance and passion. Even in the movie when steve cheats because Miranda falls into a work routine and they stop nurturing their connection she puts aside logic and goes back to steve. It was in that moment she finally integrated her cynical nature with her desire of real romance and love. So when just like that took it away from her and women like her is was really hurtful. EDIT: Hell even Samantha had James, Richard, Maria and Smith. Charlotte hooked up alot for someone trying to find love.
THIS. But I have separate thoughts on Miranda in the whole AJLT thing and I’m gonna do a video on it once I finish rewatching the series for the 1827373 time so I can really get into it and pull examples to back me up. But yes to Charlotte especially. All the things on Charlotte I completely agree with
But Miranda still finds love or at least romance in AJLT. She’s just making different choices about what partners she prefers. I hope you’re not trying to imply that her new love interests are somehow less worthy than if she were dating men.
@christinehohenshil2769 no I'm saying that in Sex in the City when Miranda was set up with a woman at her company softball game and she gave it a go she decided it wasn't for her and that her more traditionally male quailties don't make her a lesbian by default. Even her boss and colleagues put her in the lesbian box. She said "its like they fianlly figured me out" and that made things go better for her at work. When she came clean she lost the regular invite to events hosted by her boss/boss' wife. I'm just saying that being a tom boy is valid too, and Miranda used to be a great example of that, but she no longer is, and that's a loss for women like her.
I rewatched this year, and even thought their relationship was toxic.. I truly think they deserved each other. Carrie was awful to some of her boyfriends, I think ending with Big was her karma.
@@aleeh2109 how is big her karma? He’s just a little distant bc he’s an older divorced man that’s a bit guarded after a life of settling into his ways. But he has always shown real care for her. He showed up to her book reading and was genuinely remorseful after reading her perspective on their relationship. He never intentionally hurt her and is perfect for her
My hot take is that I like Charlotte. I relate to her a lot as someone who's looking for something serious but not able to find anything more than a casual thing. Yes she can be a bit judgy but overall I always root for her, she's my favorite.
I like season 1 because the scenarios aren’t sooooo outlandish like they got later. The wacky hijinks and puns are still funny but in season one they flow so naturally, almost like the camera is on the characters just riffing off each other. But I also like the “interview” style, where Carrie monologues to the audience and gets opinions from the other people in her life about the subject of the week. I just love the aesthetic of season 1 as well. It’s so unlike any other season that came after. It feels more real and raw. Carrie’s hair is just 🤌🤌🤌
I always liked that scene at the baby shower where Charlotte is upset at the stolen name and Sam comes in and tells them off and gets her out of there, cause it's one of the first times we see how loyal Sam is. I honestly wish we saw more of Sam and Charlotte's friendship
Never was much of a fan of her, but Charlotte became much more tolerable to me as the show progressed - honestly around her divorce with Trey is when I started to feel like her hypocrisy and rose-colored glasses diluted.
I think Samantha being older was significant because, as I myself am getting older, I give less and less of a f$*%! I’m gonna channel my inner Samantha and let my ME flag fly lmao
Although Sex and the city has its flaws , it still holds such a big space in my heart. Love these types of videos, what did you think of the and just like that - the reboot? They are already making season 2.. Love seeing the characters back but geez that wasn't good. Would love to see a video on it!!
Sex and the city is my favorite show of all time, so it’s safe to say I vehemently abhorred And just like that. I was very disappointed to find out that aidan will be featured in season 2 because now I have to watch it, which I fully intended not to do after the first season finished.
AJLT Was a slap in the face to SATC!!! There’s absolutely nothing at all good or even decent about it! I don’t know who the new Miranda character is but that is not the Miranda from SATC! It’s just awful awful awful.. 🤮
When I originally watched this show I found it entertaining but once I started going out with lots of men it gets so relatable it’s insane. Like you just can’t predict what a love interest will do next even when you think they are normal. The one weird thing though is that the girls almost never get ghosted for some reason
Curious if this is your first time watching SATC? Season 1 will forever be my favorite season. So edgy and raw. Love when they break the 4th wall. Love the lack of cell phones. I think I’m the only person that genuinely likes Carrie - no she’s not perfect but no one is. I have no critics for this show, it’s all love, yes things are outdated but that was the norm for the time! :)
Nope I’ve seen it at least 7 times probably more. But whenever I rewatch things I react as though I’ve never seen it 💀 I do love the lack of cell phones too.
This was great - please do every season! Charlotte's annoying in the first season but her character arc is very interesting and slow-burning. All her conventional preconceptions of love and relationships are dismantled piece by piece over time: a relationship and marriage with a rich, good-looking guy isn't necessarily a recipe for success, marriage isn't necessarily followed by babies and basic compatibility and a sense of humour in a relationship is more important than the picture-perfect set-up. Perhaps that's why they lean into Charlotte's prejudices so much in the earlier seasons. Just a thought. Re: Carrie - terrible friend who can't read the room but fabulous clothes. Miranda: a groundbreaking character for the time and an ongoing inspiration for many women. Samantha - an absolute legend and I'm glad she's finally getting positive recognition. And I'm so sad that all this hard work was unravelled by "And Just Like That" 😭
I feel like Carrie doesn’t get enough credit for what she does for her friends too. She’s self absorbed but does a lot more for people than viewers are willing to give her credit for. She understands each girl more than anyone else
I really could listen to you talk about every season of this show and every single season of all my other fave shows! Your commentary is so funny!! Please keep making SATC vids
Aww I love this review. I was OBSESSED with SATC when it first came on in the 90's. I was in my twenties when it originally came out and looking back on it now I have so many different feelings about it. I don't think I could relate to them when it first came out but as I have aged, I can relate so much. I know the lines to every episode lol and can win any trivia game about this show LOL. Great review!
This was super enjoyable to watch! Season 1 feels like good hearted satire to me hence looking into the camera and ridiculous scenarios. On another note, the audio engineer in me can’t help but notice the inconsistency in volume between different segments. Sometimes I had to turn up vol to hear something and the next clip was way louder. Just an observation, keep up the good work!
Season 2 episode 7 Carrie: I’m afraid we don’t want the same things. Big: Things like, cake? 😡😡😡😡 idk why they wrote it so those two could end up together. He was incapable of communicating and she was incapable of reading the room.
What I loved about the show is that every woman could identify to at least one of these 4 very different women! Sometimes you could even be a blended version! I myself would be a Samantha & a Miranda. Tough loving, yet very comfortable in my sexuality as a woman. The honesty of how women really interact and feel about themselves, one another, relationships ect. But most of all the central character was the friendship these women shared. All that said, Samantha actually does the same thing to Charlotte! She breaks her balls about love, marriage, & commitment yet she maybe not as often as Charlotte does but she has been open to love & commitment with Dominic, James, Richard, & Smith of course. What’s funny though, is it was Carrie that would get on my nerves the way Charlotte got on yours.. 😂
Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda don’t exist. Only Carrie does. The other 3 represent parts of her identity she struggles with. She wants to be a wife type and classy like Charlotte but also wants to sleep around and be noncommittal like Samantha. And she also wants to be a career woman like Miranda. All of her identity struggles create those characters inside of Carrie.
Okay, you just described how I feel about Carrie and Charlotte, but I absolutely love her! For me it's almost like she is the kind of "antagonist" they try to make us see Samantha as, but I really just like her because I feel sorry for the way she is, she probably been a victim of what society wanted her to be as a woman which is AWFUL, and the wort part of this is that she becomes one of those people and disapproves everything her friends do (when related to sex), but I still think she is a kind person and she just wants everyone to be happy, which is sad because she's looking for a fairytale that doesn't exist. But to end this book I wore I have to say that we need someone to dislike in those shows, almost like it's necessary to stand them for our personal growth and prepare us to deal with people like that.
If someone reads this I apologize if I seem to be rude or anything, English is not my first language and I'm insecure about being misunderstood as such cause it's tough for me to express how I feel inside, ALSO I forgot to say that I loved the video so much, I want to see more of them and I'll subscribe to your channel IMMEDIATELY! lots of luv Xx
well i def agree charlotte can be hypocritical and generally annoying, i do think the reason for me personally, i never got to a point where i hated her character, it’s because in a way, the show doesn’t like…celebrate (romanticize ? reward ? what are adjectives.) her perspective either. like i think charlotte gets roasted so much by the rest of the crew, it kinda helped balance things for me if that makes any sense 😂😂
They should have made Charlotte the Sexually conservative/Chaste friend if they were gonna mad her behave the way she does. I was always personally sexually chaste because it felt right for me when others talked about their sexual escapades i still managed to STFU and not pretend they’re lower than me because they lived life differently 🙄 Her being a hopeless romantic is relatable Tho. Glad that meshes well with my husband
Compare s1 scenarios vs the put of this world Abu dabhi trip. I liked how relatable they used to be, like smoking pot or playing cards in carrie's apartment.
holy shit u talk about SATC too yesssssss i love this show so much for nostalgia reasons but mAN has it been harder to watch my last few attempts 😩 can't wait to hear your nuanced take on it!!
I love Charlotte, she represents women who were raised with narrow POVs around sex and relationships, and face challenges with themselves and their peers. I think she was a great part of the friend group because it was just a representation of another type of person.
I know I'm late for this but OMG I LOVE SATC but Carrie was so toxic, and it saddens me how they didn't gave a Samantha more depth or how they tainted every girl with toxic things like Miranda's she cannot have it all ( not spoiling anything ), Charlotte SAME thing like someone said here in the comments maybe she was coming to terms with her sexuality and it seemed like a double standar. Thank for the video
LOVE this vid!! I feel like Carrie being an absolute hot mess was kind of necessary for the show. She's always been looking for a serious relationship but theres a reason she has to still be single right? haha otherwise it would be too simple!
Hi Kierra, have you thought about reviewing some old TV shows like Alias, Dark Angel, Felicity and the original Charmed? I'm not sure if they're too old or not. Cheers!
Charmed is definitely up soon, and I can look into the others as well although I generally prefer to discuss shows or films I’m super familiar with. I’ll still check it out tho!
I’ve seen the whole show so many times. It definitely does get better which is what keeps me watching. And yes, I’m planning on covering each season + the movies + AJLT. 🤍
The first time I watched this show I was about 19 (thanks library dvds!) And saw myself as a Charlotte as much as I saw myself in any of them. But dozens of rewatches later I am solidly in the Miranda/Samantha camp.
Tbh samantha being older and the most chaotic one on the sexual one gives a really clear perspective on the hookup culture and at.the end its the basic story of being strong bu your own means. Even if you are economically rich samatha is the wakening of every human when they hit their 30s. No more hormones sex is sex love is love and samatha is the best written character even if its through small snippets
Here me out: I just realized that the writing and acting of Mr. Big is very similar sometimes to Emily Gilmore. Just emotionally manipulative, withholding and so so frustrating. But any likeability at all that you get comes from good acting. That's my two cents... also I totally believe that rory Gilmore is on a path to being very much like Carrie Bradshaw. Or at least one of her friends 😂
When i grown older and watched the show ... i have a new respect for Charlotte she didnt want to be pleasing men to like her she has her own rules and didn't compromise
@@kierralovestv OH this is exciting I watched a few episodes here and there, as I grew up in the 90s but never watched fully but I remember enjoying a few here and there but never watched episode by episode so I'm excited you are recaping them!
@@ScenariosOfDrea I keep hitting the dislike button by mistake on comments bc I keep thinking it’s where the reply button is lmao but yea I’m excited too I’ve seen it sooo many times and I’m thinking like when I first saw it I would’ve loved if someone did a season by season recap
Charlotte is such a hypocrite, Carrie is an awful friend and her desperation for Big is 🤦♀️ Miranda just allows Carrie to use her and Samantha, she’s my fave, she’s too funny! 😆
I’ve actually never seen True Blood. I can look into it but I generally like to do stuff I’m super familiar with bc I know people can tell when a video isn’t really authentic and that’s important to me
@@kierralovestv the show true blood is really great especially the first four seasons the show is based on Charlene harris the Sookie stackhouse series
Some FAQ (frequently asked questions) for u guysss
(hope this helps) 🤍
An edit to my comments on Charlotte: I know overtime Charlotte becomes better and easier to watch I was trying to speak during those parts without revealing anything for people who haven’t seen it yet. Just wanna be mindful for those people.
Also yes, I’m gonna make a video for each season & the movies & AYITL tysm for your support!
"She stole my baby name!"
"You Bitch!"
This will forever be my favorite Samantha response.
Me too but I’ll say my favorite season one response bc she has so many other good ones too
@@kierralovestv So true!
Samantha didn't know about the argument or even cared. She still stood by Charlotte. 🥰
@@Sassynbluntaf YES. That’s why it’s my favorite part and why Samantha Jones is one of my favorite characters
@@kierralovestv my favorite Samantha quote is "I love you Richard, but I love me more" 💖
I actually did like when they interviewed randoms, they addressed the topics with different perspectives. Wish they could’ve done that more in later seasons
Ooh. I hated those random interviews. It was too cheesy and didn't date well. It also slowed down the story.
@@JLDReactions I liked it
I really like it, it was interesting and gives the show more depth than just her stories
I agree I loved that about the show
I really like those, many people face the same issue, not just white single women on their 30s. Its nice to see readers try to answer Carrie's questions on her writing
At times Charlotte can be so hypocritical and yeah miranda definitely treats skipper the same way mr big treats carrie
Charlotte often judged Samantha for her sexual escapades yet she’s had just as many one night stands with men as Sam did.
I can't stand Charlotte. Lol
Season one is more inspired by the actual real life column written by Candace Bushnell. It was way more edgy and dark.
Yes!
I don't think it was more edgy and dark. What was edgy about it? They drink beer instead cosmos? Season 1 was very mediocre and the cutaways were cheesy.
How was it edgy and dark?

Carrie was whiny and selfish... didnt notice until 2020 been watching the show since 2000...

Definitely Jungian shadow issues.

All her conventional preconceptions of love and relationships are dismantled piece by piece over time: a relationship and marriage with a rich, good-looking guy isn't necessarily a recipe for success, marriage isn't necessarily followed by babies and basic compatibility and a sense of humour in a relationship is more important than the picture-perfect set-up. Perhaps that's why they lean into Charlotte's prejudices so much in the earlier seasons. Just a thought.
Re: Carrie - terrible friend who can't read the room but fabulous clothes. Miranda: a groundbreaking character for the time and an ongoing inspiration for many women. Samantha - an absolute legend and I'm glad she's finally getting positive recognition.
And I'm so sad that all this hard work was unravelled by "And Just Like That" 😭
I’m doing every season + the movies + AJLT. 💕
@@kierralovestv Great news! Can't wait 💕
I feel like Carrie doesn’t get enough credit for what she does for her friends too. She’s self absorbed but does a lot more for people than viewers are willing to give her credit for. She understands each girl more than anyone else
I really could listen to you talk about every season of this show and every single season of all my other fave shows! Your commentary is so funny!! Please keep making SATC vids
😭🤍 tysm
the reason i know i’m a samantha is because we both roll our eyes whenever charlotte speaks
I loved this one. I can’t wait to see the next season and others. I also like how you mentioned what outfits you enjoyed and what hairstyles.
Thank you
Charlotte is the best and most honest with herself character
No one drops a man quicker than Charlotte. Samantha just never picks them up or else she would be the obvious winner ha
I friggen love ur videos! I've rewatched SATC and Gilmore Girls so many times lol
You and me both!!! It’s on constant rotation
I love how you break down these videos. It's something I look forward to after a day of studying with nothing else to do:)
Hello! Ty for watching 🫶🏽
Aww I love this review. I was OBSESSED with SATC when it first came on in the 90's. I was in my twenties when it originally came out and looking back on it now I have so many different feelings about it. I don't think I could relate to them when it first came out but as I have aged, I can relate so much. I know the lines to every episode lol and can win any trivia game about this show LOL. Great review!
This is me but when I started watching it in 2019
How old are you know or what decade 40s 50s ? Just curious. So you only related in your 20s and 30s or just 20s?
Just fell in love with your theme song😍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I was so invested in these grown women’s stories as a young girl. Thanks for your commentary
I've seen bits of this commentary video on tiktok! So glad I found OP!!! This video is amazing. I'm glad I found it.
Thank you!
This was super enjoyable to watch! Season 1 feels like good hearted satire to me hence looking into the camera and ridiculous scenarios.
On another note, the audio engineer in me can’t help but notice the inconsistency in volume between different segments. Sometimes I had to turn up vol to hear something and the next clip was way louder. Just an observation, keep up the good work!
Loved your take on this, now watching this in my 40's is soo different
Season 2 episode 7
Carrie: I’m afraid we don’t want the same things.
Big: Things like, cake?
😡😡😡😡 idk why they wrote it so those two could end up together. He was incapable of communicating and she was incapable of reading the room.
LMFAOOOO I’m cryinggg
They both had to go through their own journeys to come back together in the end I think it’s perfect
@@possiblymaybe6711 Sure. Then after he died she actually said that maybe choosing him (more like desperately seeking him) was a mistake. Perfect.
Okayyyyy this is my new fav channel!!
Omgggg your theme song just gave me life haha, so cute
Thank you! 🥰
The theme song got me “subscribed”👍
honestly, i just like hearing you talk lmao the show in general is a point of interest, but i stay for the nice voice frfr
💕 hii thank you
Subbed, I love your take. Also you made your own theme song. Everyone needs to do that! :)
pls keep posting about this series i feel like i have someone who i can actually discuss us with
What I loved about the show is that every woman could identify to at least one of these 4 very different women! Sometimes you could even be a blended version! I myself would be a Samantha & a Miranda. Tough loving, yet very comfortable in my sexuality as a woman.
The honesty of how women really interact and feel about themselves, one another, relationships ect. But most of all the central character was the friendship these women shared.
All that said, Samantha actually does the same thing to Charlotte! She breaks her balls about love, marriage, & commitment yet she maybe not as often as Charlotte does but she has been open to love & commitment with Dominic, James, Richard, & Smith of course.
What’s funny though, is it was Carrie that would get on my nerves the way Charlotte got on yours.. 😂
I love this comment I totally relate
Charlotte, Samantha and Miranda don’t exist. Only Carrie does. The other 3 represent parts of her identity she struggles with. She wants to be a wife type and classy like Charlotte but also wants to sleep around and be noncommittal like Samantha. And she also wants to be a career woman like Miranda. All of her identity struggles create those characters inside of Carrie.
Ngl I’ve thought about this before bc they’re all messed up in their own way
Thank you so much for putting in time stamps!
I love your takes
Thank you!
@@kierralovestvAh! Ik I'm late but ty for the response, queen 💞
Okay, you just described how I feel about Carrie and Charlotte, but I absolutely love her! For me it's almost like she is the kind of "antagonist" they try to make us see Samantha as, but I really just like her because I feel sorry for the way she is, she probably been a victim of what society wanted her to be as a woman which is AWFUL, and the wort part of this is that she becomes one of those people and disapproves everything her friends do (when related to sex), but I still think she is a kind person and she just wants everyone to be happy, which is sad because she's looking for a fairytale that doesn't exist. But to end this book I wore I have to say that we need someone to dislike in those shows, almost like it's necessary to stand them for our personal growth and prepare us to deal with people like that.
If someone reads this I apologize if I seem to be rude or anything, English is not my first language and I'm insecure about being misunderstood as such cause it's tough for me to express how I feel inside, ALSO I forgot to say that I loved the video so much, I want to see more of them and I'll subscribe to your channel IMMEDIATELY! lots of luv Xx
You’re fine! I didn’t hear anything rude just your opinions
You have a really calming voice, I love your videos ♥
When I begin rewatching the show every time I’m surprised at now fine and relatable Carrie is
And then it begins to get worse season after season
im literally just trying to binge this series you made and the playlist isn’t working I gotta hunt these videos down to watch in order lmao 😭
The whole church thing should've told Carrie that she's the side chick. He doesn't think to mention her to friends or family. You're the side chick.
well i def agree charlotte can be hypocritical and generally annoying, i do think the reason for me personally, i never got to a point where i hated her character, it’s because in a way, the show doesn’t like…celebrate (romanticize ? reward ? what are adjectives.) her perspective either. like i think charlotte gets roasted so much by the rest of the crew, it kinda helped balance things for me if that makes any sense 😂😂
Your videos are sending me! I'm so glad to have stumbled upon your channel!
One of my top five! Love ya more and more Kierra
They should have made Charlotte the Sexually conservative/Chaste friend if they were gonna mad her behave the way she does.
I was always personally sexually chaste because it felt right for me when others talked about their sexual escapades i still managed to STFU and not pretend they’re lower than me because they lived life differently 🙄
Her being a hopeless romantic is relatable Tho. Glad that meshes well with my husband
Compare s1 scenarios vs the put of this world Abu dabhi trip. I liked how relatable they used to be, like smoking pot or playing cards in carrie's apartment.
holy shit u talk about SATC too yesssssss i love this show so much for nostalgia reasons but mAN has it been harder to watch my last few attempts 😩 can't wait to hear your nuanced take on it!!
Thank you !!
I love Charlotte, she represents women who were raised with narrow POVs around sex and relationships, and face challenges with themselves and their peers. I think she was a great part of the friend group because it was just a representation of another type of person.
I think Carrie wasn't "Carrie" yet because her mind later got fucked up by big lol
Sam was and will forever be the one and only icon of Sex and the City.
Love that this popped up on my suggested bc I recently started it for the first time and have no one to talk to about it LMAO
Aweeee omg this is literally one of the main reasons I made the video. So happy you found my page :)
I love this show...glad I found this channel
I stumbled upon your channel and I have to say the theme song is so cute 😭😂🎉✨
I know I'm late for this but OMG I LOVE SATC but Carrie was so toxic, and it saddens me how they didn't gave a Samantha more depth or how they tainted every girl with toxic things like Miranda's she cannot have it all ( not spoiling anything ), Charlotte SAME thing like someone said here in the comments maybe she was coming to terms with her sexuality and it seemed like a double standar. Thank for the video
LOVE this vid!! I feel like Carrie being an absolute hot mess was kind of necessary for the show. She's always been looking for a serious relationship but theres a reason she has to still be single right? haha otherwise it would be too simple!
Yeah I also mentioned this in my Why everybody hates Carrie Bradshaw video thank you for watching 😊
Samantha was my favorite BY FAR
"Area of Privacy" is my new favorite euphemism 🤣🤣
Hi Kierra, have you thought about reviewing some old TV shows like Alias, Dark Angel, Felicity and the original Charmed? I'm not sure if they're too old or not. Cheers!
Charmed is definitely up soon, and I can look into the others as well although I generally prefer to discuss shows or films I’m super familiar with. I’ll still check it out tho!
Great review! You make me want to rewatch season one. I typically skip this season because it started off slow.
Me too tbh. This was my first time truly watching it in depth
Kierra you nailed it you are hilarious 😂😂
Thank you 😊
I hope you cover the other seasons in the same way. They get better.
I’ve seen the whole show so many times. It definitely does get better which is what keeps me watching. And yes, I’m planning on covering each season + the movies + AJLT. 🤍
@@kierralovestv thats so great I was going to ask you haha you have a really soothing voice btw
@@rachelle602 🥺 thank you.
The first time I watched this show I was about 19 (thanks library dvds!) And saw myself as a Charlotte as much as I saw myself in any of them. But dozens of rewatches later I am solidly in the Miranda/Samantha camp.
That's sad. Degradation as it is
@@Name-tn3md why do you say that?
@@moxxibekk bc charlotte is better. Shes not snob like miranda or hooker like sam
I am doing a rewatch myself right now, for now season three is the one with the most episodes I wish they would have never done :/
I thought season 3 was the best! The Carrie/Big affair was the best storyline in the entire show.
season 1 episode 1 was 1998 so it would have been 90s in its application and aesthetic; not tryin to be 90s, just is 90s
Ik I meant that it fits the time period lol I knew it actually was made in the 90s
Omg Im sooo happpyyy i found you! 🥹
Their looks at the 10 second mark? *MWUAH* chef’s kiss
!! Especially Samantha
@@kierralovestv my FAVE look from her but Carrie’s mismatched heels in this scene? So fashion forward SUCH a look
I'm genuinely curious as to why you formatted the video as 4:3, but used widescreen clips of the show (which has an aspect ratio of 4:3).
Kierra, i just discovered your channel and I just ❤ it😊
Welcome!!
My favorite episode of season 1 is the 20 something episode 🙈🙈🙈🙈 might just be my Timothy olyphant crush tho
I would enjoy a live reaction video while watching episodes of SATC
I first watched this in my early 20’s
Rewatching it in my 30’s hits very accurately lol
Yeah I remember that, little Kathy and her magic pipe lol
Have you ever seen united state of Tara, would love to hear your thoughts
Tbh samantha being older and the most chaotic one on the sexual one gives a really clear perspective on the hookup culture and at.the end its the basic story of being strong bu your own means. Even if you are economically rich samatha is the wakening of every human when they hit their 30s. No more hormones sex is sex love is love and samatha is the best written character even if its through small snippets
I just discovered your channel. I've only seen two videos and already subscribed! :-)
Thank you!
Here me out: I just realized that the writing and acting of Mr. Big is very similar sometimes to Emily Gilmore. Just emotionally manipulative, withholding and so so frustrating. But any likeability at all that you get comes from good acting. That's my two cents... also I totally believe that rory Gilmore is on a path to being very much like Carrie Bradshaw. Or at least one of her friends 😂
When i grown older and watched the show ... i have a new respect for Charlotte she didnt want to be pleasing men to like her she has her own rules and didn't compromise
Would love to see videos on all the seasons of SATC + the movies, if you're up for it
I’m working on it as we speak. 💛
Charlotte grew on me.
Aw Charlotte was always my favorite
She grows on me more towards when she meets Harry
I love the analysis you do, and if you could do a video on "Just like that" the continuation of SAC, and I thought that was interesting.
I am, I’m doing the SATC videos season by season tysm
@@kierralovestv OH this is exciting I watched a few episodes here and there, as I grew up in the 90s but never watched fully but I remember enjoying a few here and there but never watched episode by episode so I'm excited you are recaping them!
@@ScenariosOfDrea I keep hitting the dislike button by mistake on comments bc I keep thinking it’s where the reply button is lmao but yea I’m excited too I’ve seen it sooo many times and I’m thinking like when I first saw it I would’ve loved if someone did a season by season recap
@@kierralovestv lol awesome
aw i want to see your wanderlust video now
wanderlust is HILARIOUS! I’ve watched it a dozen times and cry laughing every time
Omgggg I thought I was aloneee
Mr. Big will never be endgame in my eyes. He was emotionally stunted and brought out desperation in Carrie.
Rewatching the first season, I just found Carrie so unrealistic when it came to Big.
I am HERE for this topic let's go
Even though you slanderin’ my girl, I gotta subscribe ❤❤
Charlotte is such a hypocrite, Carrie is an awful friend and her desperation for Big is 🤦♀️ Miranda just allows Carrie to use her and Samantha, she’s my fave, she’s too funny! 😆
Can we get a True Blood episode?
I’ve actually never seen True Blood. I can look into it but I generally like to do stuff I’m super familiar with bc I know people can tell when a video isn’t really authentic and that’s important to me
@@kierralovestv the show true blood is really great especially the first four seasons the show is based on Charlene harris the Sookie stackhouse series
loved this!!!!!!!!
Thank you!
