I think, regardless of whether or not Richard never intended to cheat again, Samantha was not interested in worrying about whether or not he was going to. He did. Nothing he does going forward can erase that fact. But Samantha, from day one, has made it very clear that she puts herself first. People misconstrue this statement for a selfish one but really it’s Samantha living her most authentic, true self. She puts herself first when her friends struggle to accept her lesbian relationship, when Carrie shames her for performing a sexual act in her own office, when she decides to leave Richard, and she puts herself first when she realizes she’s losing herself in Smith. Samantha was the most REAL character on SATC. A true feminist icon.
10000% agree this is very well said
I adore Samatha. She was such an amazing Friend as well as an empowered female icon. Carrie on the other hand was a selfish,self centered, judgemental bitch
The Charlotte and Harry storyline was one of the few bright spots of the later seasons.
100% agree! Easily my fave storyline from the later seasons
He’s like my number one guy in the series, I love their relationship so mich
No, because she married down big time. Plus she lost even more of her identity by changing her religion as well as her last name for him and give up her career.
@@WynnWynn-gl3fk she absolutely still was herself 100% regardless of who she married and what religion she became.
Harry was lowkey manipulative and no one really notices cause he hides it well. From not telling her in the beginning she’d have to be a jew, to him not paying attention to her when she cooked, to the teabags around naked, to the ajlt series where he basically implies charlotte is his property and shouldn’t be anywhere but home when she finally finds her identity and starts working again. There’s way more points I can make if you want more
I felt like the vague ending with Richard was supposed to show that it doesn’t matter really if he does or doesn’t again, the trust has been lost and that fear in the relationship just isn’t healthy
Love these videos. I actually watched SATC as it was airing brand-new on HBO. I was in high school during this season. My mom & I would watch the episode together in her bedroom, and we would have intense discussions & breakdowns of the episode. It was an amazing bonding experience. It has been fun revisiting the seasons in a critical manner. Part of Carrie's appeal is that she was VERY much a "woman of today/tomorrow." Her character has aged the worst. Miranda was always cool, but no one wanted to be her back then. But now, she was the most modern character. Thank you for these videos. They mean a lot to me.
Yes exactly, I also grew up on the show (wasn’t actually allowed to watch it) but would see kid appropriate scenes of it sometimes if my mom was doing my hair and finally when I was 18 I decided to celebrate by finally watching whatever I ever wanted so I was pretty excited. These videos mean alot to me too thank you for watching them 💗
I did myself with my mom while watching Melrose Place! Such great memories ❤️
I don’t think Richard was going to cheat at least right away because he did seem like he wanted to try (or that’s what the show wanted us to think) but Samantha is still right in that she can’t spend her life with that unhealed hurt and always on guard for when he would cheat again. It was never going to work out because of Richard’s poor decision making and Samantha’s pain - which she admits to being deep into later on
Right! Yes this makes sense
Yep totally agree
I love Charlotte in the later seasons she truly did evolve into a better person ❤
Charlotte and Harry are definitely my favorite part of the later seasons. How great a lesson it is that to get everything you ever wanted you just have to get over the fact that it might not LOOK like you thought it would. Charlotte has one of best arcs for that reason, being more open minded led her to her happy ending.
❤ So true!
Samantha totally deserved better in the series I really didn't like that carrie judged samantha
Man SJP rocked that short haircut! I remember after seeing it, I cut my hair that short and man was that a mistake!! 😂 I could not pull it off like her! 😭 also I don’t think Richard was gonna cheat in that moment as well. “I love you Richard, but I love me more” was so freakin iconic! 👏🏻
It stuck with me over the years and has actually helped me as a mantra to stay true to myself
10:55 Exactly I wanted the show to do something, or for the girls to talk more in depth, because Samantha was judged sooo much by charlotte and Carrie, both had audacity and it irks me anytime I rewatch the show and see how they don’t value sam’s relationships or don’t take her feelings seriously. Just because she’s open and had sex freely and unapologetically. That’s just hypocrisy 🤦🏾♀️
!!!!!
What really got me about them judging her is they all had quite a bit of sex so it was weird how they did Samantha 😂😂😂
Yes!!!!!! On rewatch it was so weird how Carrie the sex columnist shames Sam all the time
About how much they mention age: I think they have always done this (especially during the season where Carrie turns 35 and has “no special guy to share it with”) but once you hit a certain point in your 30’s you do start thinking about it a bit more and start changing habits that no longer suit you (maybe this is the reason behind all the “I no longer dress like that” line). I am currently 36 and I know me and most of my friends closer to my age are going through that process so while I am not saying we all do this it seems to be pretty common.
I'm in my mid-30s and have been feeling this more and more now, too. I do think a lot of people, especially women, start to feel a major shift at that point.
I’m 38 and yes. For some reason it hit me this year 😅
I'm almost 31 and I think about my age a lot now. I think a lot of it has to do with feeling like time is running out for certain things, like kids or your career.
I'm rewatching Season 5 right now for probably the billionth time. Something new I'm noticing is how much Samantha punishes Richard for cheating and is rewarded by viewers for it, but then Carrie repeatedly told Aidan when she cheated that he can't keep punishing her for past behavior. I get that Samantha is hurt, but punishing your partner after getting back together means you're not ready to get back together.
The question for Samantha isn’t whether Richard will cheat again, it’s that she doesn’t want to live with the stress of it. And maybe she’s more of a realist, seeing things that Aiden couldn’t. That she knew who Richard was when she got together with him and the energy to keep him monogamous wasn’t worth it to her anymore. Samantha puts herself first, but never at the expense of others. It’s what makes her such a caring, self-loving role model - even at her craziest :)
I know it’s petty, but Carrie’s Peppermint Patty hair in this season affected my spirit.
It's the baby face. They love to choose us "non-threatening" folks to ask these wild question to, because they think they have the power? IDK they wild
honestly everything about how badly samantha as a character is treated just makes me so sad. knowing sjp “apparently” made a not nice environment on set for kim i just feel like there were a lot of plots that kinda dug at samantha. especially when it comes around to her in the movies (the fatphobia don’t even get me started) hope you touch on this aspect in a future video/short 🩷
I hate how people even now can’t understand that if someone is s*xually liberated it doesn’t seperate them from having basic human emotions. People begin treating them like a circus act and I will never understand why.
It’s why alot of times depending on the storyline I don’t mention what Samantha is doing bc it feels like they’re making fun of her every episode ONLY because she isn’t like the other girls.
Can’t wait for you to discuss the movies! They’re on my “so bad it’s good” comfort movie list lol I made my brother watch them with me when they hit Netflix the first time and we would say “it’s the new Abu Dhabi!” for WEEKS after watching it 😂😂
Instant like just for the theme song. I was a child in the 90s when most sitcoms had a theme song, and I still know most of them by heart.
I agree I miss theme songs, like actual good ones which is why I chose to make one ♥️
I recently rewatched this in my 40s. It really has aged like milk. I never never realized what a terrible person Carrie was back then lol
I don't think Richard was going to cheat but it was a wise move for Samantha. I did like them together. Carrie was aweful this season. In the Atlantic City episode she was a total bad friend. I mean I know she has a million bad friend moments but she severed ick the entire season. She was never a good wing woman and she was super s3x negative which is ironic because she was a s3x columnist. It's weird they always made her seem like she was modest but she picked and choose and shamed her friends. Like Samantha blowie and Charlotte showing her nip to the navy man. Samantha uplifted everyone and it would have been nice to see carrie do it as well. Thank you for these videos :)
Completely agree also another thing about the atlantic city ep, it was odd to watch carrie seem offended by Miranda not showing immediate interest in preserving their friendship in old age when every season before this INCLUDING this one Carrie chooses seggs with a guy over quality time with her friends and now because SHE wants to be closer to them now they have to move their lives around
@@kierralovestv yesss that part! Carrie wanted so much reassurance and validation but doesn't return it the same energy. Have you notice when they are in awkward situations she ditches them or never says anything but the other gals always chime in and speak up? side eye lol
This season was sooooo cringe. But Richard may not have cheated at that moment but the fact she couldn't trust him and such, even if he was never gonna cheat ever again, that relationship was doomed. And i hated everything about him. And the episode with Krispie Kreme and WW was always rough to watch because literally Miranda looked GOOD she was thicc and so curvy. Beautiful, and sexy. Like she looked great getting back into her skinny jeans but the way she was portrayed as BIG was ridiculous.
EXACTLY
Im actually noticing how when Big pushed Carries advances under the table away she put her palm in the way she would if she was smoking a cigarette, and thats what they would do together
Whoaaaa you’re right!
When was that?
@@marybishop6105 they went out for dinner when Carrie and Samantha took the train to Carrie's book signing in California
And yes Miranda’s hair is great this season and season 6. Mostly because I’ve worn all those styles 😅
Carrie’s looks in season five were my least favorite. Charlotte’s “harlot” dress was a showstopper.
I thought the same thing but I was like maybe I just have sh*tty taste
@@kierralovestv No you don’t. I also liked Charlotte’s Ralph Lauren long sleeve shirt and jeans. Very old money like her.
Charlotte is the definition of old money aesthetic I agree
Magda’s weird look - I think it functioned as Miranda’s superego, saying look at your selfish vapid friends who don’t care about your current struggle. A reminder that Miranda is not the same anymore and has different priorities.
Later when Miranda finally tells Carrie to shut it, it was a release of that tension.
The judgmental face was a real theme in this ep!
Also I agreed with ALL of your style moments in this one, especially loved Charlotte’s outfits this season 😍
I love Coquette I’m hoping to start exploring it someday
I think that Samantha realized that it did not matter if he did something with the maid or not, because she was always going to be haunted by those kinds of suspicions if she stayed with him. He had already done it once, so he would probably do it again
omg yesss, i was struggling with this season, some episodes felt like a chore i swear, but i kept going for my girl Samantha...love u ❤
Thank you for admitting this I felt the same way I watched this season like 4 times for this video
Love u too (if you’re talking to me lmao)
Just wanted to say that your intro never fails to make me smile ❤
Thank you, really ♥️
Same here!😃♥️
Tysm
I do not think it is that important for us to know if Richard was about to cheat or not. It was more about Samantha and her trust in him, the trust that was broken that time he cheated on her and Samantha not being able to fully trust him ever again. From my point of view, it was more about finding her peace and leaving the man and the situation that made her doubt everything.
great vid! i will say, I did love Carrie’s knit turtleneck from the first photo of Miranda’s hair like it’s so cute!
Yes! I loved it
Forgot to mention it
With the maid, I always felt like that scene was focused more on Samantha being unable to really trust Richard again. It doesn't necessarily matter if he does or doesn't sleep with the other woman after Samantha breaks up with him because the trust was never there.
so much of this show HITS me no matter how many times i see it, and samantha out of breath busting into richard's hotel room is the moment today! i definitely had a moment like that a month or so ago that took a few days of introspection to get over!
Omg. I’ve always said when Carrie was under that awning with the guy would TOTALLY be me. And my friends said that was me too! 😂
Being a natural born rambler>>>>
@@kierralovestv me too! I really enjoy your content by the way!!
Thank you so much! Hope you’re doin well ty for watching
yasssssssss kween!!!!! I was waiting for this! I actually don't even have anything to add because you said it all! thank you for another great video! xx
Your reviews are great! Been loving them so much
love these Videos so much, including the Theme Song. that just makes me smile every time 😊
9:41 .. Carrie has many hypocritical moments. The only empathetic, morally consistent in this series is Samantha
Listen the fashions are either serving or lacking and there is no inbetween. As a teen watching the show I was in my Miranda era, I wanted to be a Charlotte but it wasn’t me. Even as a young person I knew Carrie was irresponsible and just a trash person in general, Samantha was so out of reach for me in so many ways. Now as a woman going on 36 I am in my Samantha era, she was the best friend on the show when you break it down. Her style was in your face, sexy, powerful, yet still lady like which I very much resonate with. She had the confidence I aspire to have and wasn’t afraid to speak her truth regardless of what others thought. Also there is absolutely nothing wrong with her being sexually free, people get it very misconstrued that you can own your sexuality 100% and still be monogamous. Samantha is goals and that is the hill I will die on. I wish Samantha got a spin-off imagine Samantha in London, living luxuriously❤❤❤
!!!!
Thank you so much! I can’t wait to see your take on season 6!
Found your videos and channel today....loving it!!!!!!!❤
Thanks for the video! Love your SATC videos. All of them.
Thank you!
I just wanted you to know I watched SATC because of you!! Love your videos 💗
Thank youuuu I love comments like these I love showing people the shows I watch both online and offline
love that you cover my favorite show of all time! and you include all the not-so-great parts, it’s super interesting to see how relevant and relatable this show is while also being very outdated. also, i do think richard would cheat again! if not then, at another time. men like that dont change and im glad Sam didnt want to put herself through that.
Uhh I LOVE that you brought up carry being judgmental of Samantha, especially pointing out the ways Sam has been a good friend to carry
Kierra, do you think Big was in some way embarrassed by Carrie? I’m on a rewatch right now and caught myself on that thought, like he married Natasha so fast, had public engagement announcement, wedding, and they seemed be out a lot on social gatherings while dating, but with Carrie he was kind of hiding? He also seems to be into tall brunette women, more “old money” fashion, while Carrie is petite blonde with more flashy, trendy style. Would love a video on that!
Oh yea for sure I do think he was embarassed by her idk if I could make this into a video bc it’s not alot to say except that he was embarassed to love her openly. She was NOTHING like the other girls he sought after, you’re right, everything you said was factual that’s where I can’t get down with Big but I mean on the other hand he did tell her but his reasoning wasn’t truthful because it wasn’t that he just “wasn’t a relationship guy” bc he was married before and again like you said he got married after. I wish they could’ve found a way to explore that more but maybe they felt that it spoke for itself
@@kierralovestv thanks for responding! Love your videos ❤️
it’s no problem & ty for watchin em ♥️
I came for the SATC commentary but stayed for the theme song 😂
I believe it was Patricia Field who dressed them. She also did wardrobe for The Devil Wears Prada.
Great video babe, love your direct style will check your other SATC recaps out- I never finished S5, too depressing and odd. S2-4 are my faves !
Season 5 was only 8 episodes due to SJP being pregnant and you couldn’t finish the season?
@@sarcasticallyrearranged No haha I clocked out by episode like 3, found it too different from the earlier seasons :(
I love your theme song. It’s so catchy.
Subscribed for the theme song! :D
Love it. I hum your theme song from time to time
4:00 WTF that’s so weird 😂 I’m shocked that they thought that was a flex!
I could make a series about wild things people have said to me the list keeps growing
Started watching you with the Gilmore series. I love your intake in both this and that. ❤ I’m hoping your content gets more likes and subscribers. How’s everything going with you?
Yay! So excited to see another one for SATC. 🤣 Are you a Buffy or Xena fan??? I feel like those would be a blast(maybe more for me to hear your opinions/takes). I really enjoy your breakdowns on these and I love your sense of humor🤘 Thank you for making these!
Thank you ! I’ve actually never seen either but I do eventually wanna watch Buffy
@@kierralovestv you have to watch Buffy! It is a masterpiece! I think you're gonna like it :) At least I hope so xD
@@kierralovestv I think you'd enjoy it based on these SATC videos! A lot to talk about too o: And there's also different hairstyles every season lol
Please Kierra! Do the movies! X
I find you ridiculously endearing x
I think that there was a writers strike at the time of this seasons production and that was why this season was so short.
Was that literally Stars Hollow in the Eddie Murphy flick?
Samantha was the best friend in that series. I miss her so much in AJLT.
I THOUGHT THE SAME THING I didn’t wanna go on and on about a different movie but literally I was watching the clips and I was like “ain’t this stars hollow?”
it’s probably the Warner Bro’s lot, even Seinfeld has used that set once 😭
So you aren't going to do a segment on Steve and Miranda? It's crazy to me that you didn't talk about (in one of the season 4 parts) about Steve telling Miranda she's the one at her baby shower (it's been a while but I think that's the part)
I was waiting for this one, thanks for posting!! 🤗❤️ can't wait for your videos and opinions on the final season and the movies. I do admit I dread the reboot video, that one is so cringe 🥲
Soooo many good points throughout video way too many to list!!! My style opinions are: I agree about Miranda as hair. This may be unpopular, Carrie's hair length this whole season is my absolute fave!!!
Great video
Miranda lives on the upper east or west side. They pay extra good money to have everything flow without any problems. If you’re causing a problem, making a lot of nose, making a lot of anything that isn’t peaceful. Either the building security will come get you together or the police will. And until you have yourself together they will keep making sure you get it together.
So it would either be her the black woman, the front desk assistant or the police. And its a safe bet that you will have the building manager speak with you.
8:02 exactly! carrie is weirdly prudish for being a supposed sex columnist and ✨fashion person✨ as she should be the last person spouting off outdated rules about how women oF a CeRtAiN aGe should dress and behave. i don’t even know if sjp’s pregnancy could be blamed for her takes because she really wasn’t obviously showing until the last few episodes of the season when they kept putting her in baggy outfits. (thinking specifically of the episode with the wedding in the hamptons
Richard definitely cheated with the cleaning lady after samantha left!! But in case she decided to go back and get back together we would have a WE WERE ON A BREAK moment 😂
I loved sex and the city and I loved your take on it. I’m excited to see your reaction to the second season.
The bittersweet moment was when they left Vegas in a bus and they all took a photograph 📸 I wish they were friends in real life 😢 💔
Honestly, the season where Miranda's hair is nice, Carrie decides to balance it out with whatever that haircut was
Sex worker can mean like 20 different ways of making income. It’s vague and non specific and illegal activities aren’t usually referred to as “work” - it’s like calling a drug dealer a substance sales worker. Learning hooker is a slur will make me move to the word “prostitute” with a neutral tone but I’m not saying sex worker to describe trading sex for money.
This was my least favorite season as far as SJP’s acting. She’s so over the top this season
Kierra, have you seen the O.C.? I’m almost done with the show and I so badly want you to do a video on it. Ok lov u ❤
Yes I have seen it ♥️ I love it and need to rewatch it so I can actually do videos on it bc rn I can’t remember anything past s1 that happens
& ily 2
I agree with you about Miranda's hair, it looks great
Yes: thank you about the comment about men and religion!! My ex husband has used “God’s will” for doing some extremely traumatic things to me 🤮🤮🤮
6:40 the point is that Samantha realized she doesn't want to spent her days chasing Richard hoping he isn't cheating, because sexy women are everywhere and it's mentally and physically exhausting her to keep trying. There's no point because any woman she thinks is sexy, she'll know Richard thinks so too
I think you watch the show from the POV of today - it was ground breaking at its time. I remember we always waited for the weekly installment - It was 1998 - 2004 and It was extremley envelope pushing - nothing like it was on TV
Yes exactly I can understand that at the time certain things WERE groundbreaking bc they’d never been discussed or displayed like that I always try to acknowledge that I’m looking at the show through my Gen Z lens but can still appreciate it for how advanced it was for its time
Oh god norbit is so cringey that movie totally cost eddie to loose the oscar 😬😖
I used to love it as a kid but I watched it recently and realized it was awful it’s crazy how you grow up and your perspective on things does a 180
@@kierralovestv you are not alone I have been rewatching shows and movies that I use to love as a kid that I absolutely hate now same goes for books that I read when I was a teenager
@@angelaholmes8888 I keep wondering how I ever thought they (movies I rewatch) were good. I guess limited experience and a lack of maturity idk
12:31 omg exactly !!! I stop breaking my own heart by putting couples on pedestals lol & the show def has mainly things outdated & it’s def not my favorite season
Please do Buffy! You'll love it!
8:48 oh my god I thought you meant harassment 😂😂
I think the reason I don’t watch the reboot is because Miranda felt GONE. Like she’s a literal skin walker of a character…..do y’all feel me😂 like THIS Hobbs ain’t in that show
AJLT is so dull and lifeless honesty...
Why, why does anyone need to express to someone they had a family member not join the K cult? I feel like you probably shouldn't say you had a family member who is just doing the bare min to not be considered racist. It is not the flex that person thought it was.
Yass

I love your videos! But I gotta say if you got rid of all the flaws in these characters, like the whole story line of thinking that guy was gay and then the girls being surprised he gets married you wouldn't have a story. We all make presumptions about people and it can be funny when we are proven wrong. And of all the presumptions that could be made this is the least malicious. Also, with the black neighbor being upset that Miranda's baby is crying, I think being mad ia a normal reaction from anyone living in the city. Why are you assuming it is racist? She probably assumed Miranda was just not handling it bc she's irresponsible and then she comes to realize she's just overwhelmed. It's a great little subplot in the story that makes the characters very human. My overall point is, is that your criticisms usually stem from why aren't the characters perfect. If the characters were squeaky clean in everything they do the show would be absolutely boring and unrealistic which is the whole problem with the reboot.
to me the black mother alsways appeared smart, because she hat the clue to calm brady down, which helped Miranda. So she outrun the "smart" one of the four. Which to me put her on a superior level. And she helped with ease... And of course she is annoyed. Sometimes parents have already given up, when their child is too loud. It is like they have developed an ability to overhear their own child. Which can be a big problem in supermarkets, especially in restaurants or in hotels. So I was totally on her side, when she spoke out. Better to be the witch for one second and speak out what everyone is thinking, if it get's calmer afterwards, than being the backstabbing neighbour who greets you politeley but speaks behind you back. You know, what I mean? :)
1:10, 10:43, 12:11, 13:21
Still sad they killed off big in the reboot. Wanted to see Carrie & big play out
I've been watching SATC for 13 years now and I gotta admit I don't like season 5. Apart from Harry and Charlotte, there was nothing there for me. Most episodes are super uncomfortable for me to watch or just plain boring. Which is so sad because it's literally my favourite series since day one! For me, the best seasons are 2&3 definitely. And also, sidenote, how did I never noticed SJP was PREGNANT during the season?! I've never seen it. The stylist either did a fabulous job or I'm very inattentive 😂
What's the h slur? I'm not underage, I'm mexican lmao
Hooker I think ? I’m French I’m not sure
@@babyboy5795 I think that's what it is too
Since when and why is it a slur now???
is norbit a movie so bad you shouldn't watch? or a movie you should watch to witness all the gross things they did and said?
You know it's kind of crazy that people hate on the satc reboot when the show itself was progressively lighter and/or campier as it went on. SJP's dramatic performance in the first film is fantastic but the film is ..yikes. and the racism in it is amplified in the sequel, then when And Just Like That came out and (admittedly clumsily) tried to address racism and privilege, people didn't let the show have growing pains and immediately jumped to critique it or decry "wokeness" ...
1:10
Cynthia Nixon always looks better with slightly longer hair to me. With the super short cuts the proportions look odd, like she's all neck and no chin or something. But the haircut in this season looks very feminine.
To me (as far as Richard) was he or wasn’t he isn’t the issue. It’s that he did in the past and for me it’s gross and unforgivable. He’s a person with no morals and him going to church is plain man-ipulation. Your observation is correct on his use of religion. Honestly I’m not into religion and stay away from religious men and people. It’s just not for me.
the thing of not being racisst is that you don't have to talk about it. Because you are not racisst. :D
Yessss!! ❤❤❤
Like Carries, girl, just cause youre not comfortable showing your body anymore doesnt mean you need to shame other women for still being confident and comfortable showing skin.
