the writing is boring and bad and no matter how glam the style or how good the actors are NOTHING can replace good writing. normally I dont say it, but the creators of this show needs to listen to its critics.
Yeeeeeees! I so agree. And the weak writing is especially glaring on a network FULL of shows with excellent writing. I mean, Succession, The Last of Us, White Lotus, House of the Dragon, Barry... They're all killing it. And Just Like That is coming off like something you'd find on Lifetime or Hallmark by comparison. Plus, we remember that the writing on the original show was good, so this is extra disappointing. Couldn't they at least have found a real comedian to write Che's act? I'd love to hear them say something actually funny.
@@PeterBizown I'm coming around to Che. It's not Che's fault, it's whoever is writing Che. This season got very Meta by having Che be misrepresented in the show Che is doing.
the characters do not seem to realize that they are in the twilight zone. the 3-way with miranda, che and che's kind-of-ex husband was unintentionally funny.
AJLT is soulless. It has nothing to say about anything, which is the opposite of the original! The original tackled its emotional landscapes with wit -- I still think the abortion episode was one of the most deft explorations of that issue. This sequel series makes you realize that it's easy to have too much of a good thing. We didn't need one more bite of the cake. I couldn't help but wonder: do we get what we deserve?
Go woke, go broke - yes, you do get what you deserve. That's why the writing is hindered by horrible, horrible decisions, thought processes, ideas and characters with very little to offer. Big would have never been killed off.
This show is still boring. Carries narration in SATC grounds the show into being about her column and herself and her friends exploration of sex and romance. This is just a bunch of people doing stuff. A show about nothing.
Miranda attending AA was like... did we miss several episodes that didn't make the cutting room floor here? Surely she did have a drink*ing problem after all? Wtf? Wtf
@@colleenchanner6537 In season one she realized she ordered the book off of amazon about quitting drinking while she was drunk and she spills out the alcohol she was drinking into the sink at the time she realized this. It was in the last episode or two of the season.
That is so not true! Every character in the original 6 seasons of SITC added value to the success of this ground breaking series which in its day broke the glass season for woman across the world! Be clear….the mixture of personalities is what makes this series! Some of you should evolve a bit…
@@skyeblu1722it’s not about evolving. It’s people’s opinion, Carrie was always a whiner . My 12 year old male cousin said this 12 years ago ! A young boy !
I don’t know if that only bothers me, but i’m a little shocked about how much the gay characters are so disposable for the girls! There have always been this pattern in the series, but in the fist episode of this season, i got a little sad that all of the girls were ditching Anthony for the Met, and at last, almost not considering him as a human, but only a prop. It’s never approached and it only serves as a comic relief
I also hated it when they took the only two gay regulars on the show and made them a couple even though they have nothing in common. My straight friends, both male and female tried to fix me up with the nearest gay man to them and they finally stopped this. Gay men are just as diverse as straight people. C' mon people!
It’s funny that they can promote not 1, not 2 but 4 actors and they still refuse to give Kim’s demands. I’m sorry and I don’t mean to disrespect anyone but no one can replace the entertainment, the energy and the presence Kim Cattrall provides us fans as Samantha.
I think Che is literally the only good thing about this show. It should’ve never been greenlit. You knew that it was going to be all that it is and in a day where the fans are older and (mostly) wiser, it really needs to speak with more value than it had back in the OG days. We still get a pack of prudes in high dollar clothing that have little to no souls and is boring as hell. Aiden def is the reason they got this second season. Mark my words, that Samantha bit isn’t going to show up till the last episode so they can sell you a bill of goods for a third season.
they need to bring back the carrie voice over with her podcast. They need to drop ltw and che as main and make them just recurring characters. they need to bring back the vibes of really living in new york, so much of the show just feels like a set
I honestly think this tv show represents the 90s vs now. 90s tv was lively and fun with great escapism. Now with the modern day reboots everything feels weird and everyone is walking on eggshells and lifeless. This show is worse than the films IMO. Why is it sooooo boring? The original SATC was never boring.
Exactly m tired of watching shows that needs to be politically correct all the time n need to be serious n change the world . I just want a light hearted show that celebrates womanhood fashion friends fun . Something that excites me to get up from my bed n get inspired n celebrate my life 😢
It has become focused on Woke BS which is why everyone is walking on Eggshells only one opinion is allowed which makes the show we all enjoyed to toxic for tv. Because they shout everyone is allowed to have their own opinion feel and be who they are, yet telll you exactly what you should feel, say, and do and if you dont agree well then they call you a bigot.
This video kind of talks about the reboots issue with lack of viewpoints due to political correctness, the original show did let the characters actually debate about several issues and even be mad at each other m.th-cam.com/video/-K-cE7QQZaw/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUbUHJvYmxlbSB3aXRoIGp1c3QgbGlrZSB0aGF0 Btw watching this video is how I found this channel since it was recommended
I know a critique of SATC was it wasn’t diverse. But I genuinely feel that rang true for the lives the characters lived. No way this late in their lives would they have this smorgasbord of different friends or lovers.
That diversity thing is just off. The orig does not have a non white main cast but everyone around them is diverse. It is real scenario. If they are in NYC and everyone around is white then complaining is legit but friend groups with everyone white is not uncommon
I liked the idea that Che would be shown in a negative light in some way, but it wasnt something they did wrong, it was just that they were upset about their body. I want to see DRAMA from these two. Something interesting. This show is trying to avoid drama lest it portray these characters negatively to the real world.
Totally agree about new characters. There is a need for diversity on the cast, but it’s too much at one time that they can’t be developed enough for us to invest. I feel anytime there’s a scene without one of the main 3, I’m not that interested. They should’ve started off with maybe Charlottes friend on season 1 moving onto fake Samantha in series 2. Che on season 3. Allow those friendship stories and their storylines to develop.
@@danielvicoperaI noticed that diversity only applies to one demographic. Other shows are allowed to have no diversity which makes them more realistic and watchable
Wow, Aiden just "gaslit" Carrie this time, just after departing from her beloved long-time studio apartment, to begin a new life with him, he suddenly claims he needs a whole five years to devote all his time to raising his son, without her. Lol
I don't know any women in the 50s who are so annoyingly clueless. These smart young women seem to have gone into a vault for 20+ years and come out with no brains. Especially the professional, savvy Miranda!!!!
Totally agree: Episode 1 was decent. Waaay too many characters, it felt like we were bouncing back and forth between 3 different shows (the voiceover would have helped out SO much), but watchable escapism, slow in spots, but decent. 6/10 is about right. Episode 2 was a slog. Seriously, the longest 45 minutes of my life. So boring. LTW and Seema/Juan Jose were the only storylines that held my interest. At least the worst of season 1 was in the "it's so bad, it's a great hate watch" category, but this was banal and boring and a little cringy. Lily's song...where's that "woke moment" button when you need it? 2/10. I'm going to guess the rest of season flucuates between decent escapism and boring bullshit.
my biggest disappointment is that they made miranda a lesbian. Why must a strong women be a lesbian? And don't get me started with what they did to Steve.
Che shouldn’t have been upgraded to a series regular. Nothing to do with the character, if they weren’t dating Miranda it’d be different but NONE of the partners have their own storylines and Che shouldn’t be any different. They just take time away from Miranda.
Kind of tragic this show has gone from - you can be your own person married or single and a baby doesn’t define you…. To our poor flanderised sweetheart Charlotte being just mommy who only lives through her kids.
Screenplay is just sooo boring. Problems like "I lost my mobile" or "My daughter sell Chanels dress". Characters have conversations like they dont care, theres no chemistry. Its not cringe anymore, its just boring. Nothing can cover it, even fancy clothes or props.
WOW I JUST REALIZED THAT SEEMA'S DATE IS THE GUY FROM PRADA! LOL The actor isn't playing the same character because that guy from Prada was friends with Carrie, but Carrie doesn't know this character that Seema is dating in AJLT
I cannot see Miranda's appeal to CHE, seriously! It's not because of Che's binary state but the fact that "their" physical appeal is non-existant. Really!
I have watched a few episodes of glamorous just because of Kim! 😀 It’s nice show to watch for fun, doesn’t really require a huge deal of mental energy or concentration. I don’t know if I only like it because of Kim, but I think it’s watchable.
When the relationship is over between Miranda and shay, I wonder if Miranda will beg Steve to return or if somehow Miranda and her son end up living together in NY
Why they opened with everyone getting sex, I hate Che, scenes are rushed and not funny, to many characters, Sima trying to be Samantha, I cantttttt I cantttt why they ruined it, we saw Miranda naked and it’s just not her anymore I’m just so frustrated
Where is the vibe??? 1)Nothing is relatable anymore in this show...we can't relate with anyone, they are all rich and famous for some reason (the Met gala, the clothes, everything is out of reach) 2)We don't see New York anywhere 3) Miranda used to be my favourite character...but now she is LOST ... She moved to LA to live Che's life (just like she said to Carrie about moving to Paris with Petrovsky) 4) Charlotte is a caricature of her old self 5)Seema is an unnecessary character 6) Carrie's voiceovers HAVE to make an urgent come back 7) I'm getting my hopes up for next episodes 🤞🤞🤞
Episode one did nothing for me. It's actually depressing how lacklustre this show is compared to the original. Even seeing 2 second clips reminds you just how fantastic and unique the OG show was. RIP SATC.
Nah it still makes no sense Carrie would be that conservative. As many examples you gave, there could be double of her freely talking about things pertaining to sex. Carrie was always down the middle. A balance between Samantha and Charlotte.
You are so right about the 2nd episode, every single thing! And sidenote, you caught that Lily still has that cupcake purse from the 1st Sex and the City movie, in her closet. Miranda and Che have great chemistry? I completely disagree and that moment about body image was cringy because the acting and chemistry between the actors wasn't there. I'm tired of the show forcing this relationship on the viewers. Also I agree that there are too many characters with no time for character development. I do love Lisa Todd Wesley or LTW in general and her "Met Ball" look! It's believable that LTW and Charlotte would be friends.
I'm kind of sick of watching these extremely succesful women having succesful love/sex lives. The old sex & the city was actually a little bit more realistic and had more real drama.
Not to mention the clothes... who the F*CK goes out in public day after day looking like that -- not to mention the horrendous HATS of Carries? This is the 21st century. Twilight Zone. Hot mess. A sex columnist who is shy about talking about SEX?? God help us all. The actors who disappeared or died last time are the luckiest ones.
I never saw Carrie as a prude at all, so I was also a little puzzled by the failure to say a "certain word" on the radio. I thought maybe the reason was because ads are a necessary evil and maybe she didn't agree with selling douche. A lot of gynecologists' will tell women to just use a tiny bit of vinegar with a lot of water and to avoid perfume altogether. However Carrie doesn't say that, or the male writers don't say that. Anyway I love the show and this is a very good review. Thank you.
I loved the original show, it was exciting. Great writing. I loved the characters. This is not a show ,to look forward to. The writing is abismal , too many characters, the original characters have been oblitorated.this show has no life to it. Not even NYC is made to look exciting.
Every character they added in for all of these additional storylines is poc and/or lbgtq. So it got crowded. They wanted to make up for just having white women and men and now theres just too many people because they keep the people who have left a character by still talking about them. They either killed off, separated, or moved for work 4 white people. I got very tired of carrie talking about her dead husband every chance she got.
Someone actually said that? There are so many talented writers out there but they actually paid someone to write that. Makes no sense, unless their target audience is some woman in Utah who desperately wants a gay friend to help her pick out drapes.
I feel like it would have been so much better if Carrie didn't want to do the commercial because she didn't want to talk about her aging vagina and dryness issues. That would've made more sense and be more relatable.
All your remarks are on point I thought the exact same thing about these two episodes…yes, two winkles at interesting moments: the mother in law and Che becoming vulnerable and with a secret past… But that didn’t go anywhere else… And yes! 😂 I thought the exact same thing: “Prada guy” -who I thought was one of the best prospects for Charlotte back then…and..that guy from Dawsons Creek! 😂😂😂😂 hilarious all the nonsenses and ironies…
I think Che is literally the only good thing about this show. It should’ve never been greenlit. You knew that it was going to be all that it is and in a day where the fans are older and (mostly) wiser, it really needs to speak with more value than it had back in the OG days. We are still getting a pack of prudes in high dollar clothing that have little to no souls. They are well old enough to be better people, but none of them are. Just like the show Girls, it’s kind of a bummer to see that all of the men on this show are the adults with a mature mindset and the women are the brats even at this age. Now we all see the importance of Samantha both then and now. She was the true heartbeat of this show. Aiden def is the reason they got this second season. Mark my words, that Samantha bit isn’t going to show up till the last episode so they can sell you a bill of goods for a third season.
I’m still watching bc I grew up with these girls and love them. “And Just like that,” the writers are ruining the characters. (Still love Carrie Bradshaw). And I was head over heels for Lisa Wexley’s met gala look. Amazing! One character I can’t stand…is rock. Boy…girl…don’t care. Rock is a freaking brat.
I actually liked Che so far. Big improvement over last season, and the Tony DAnza bit was pretty funny. I liked how excited he got over getting everyone's prounouns correctly. MIranda feels like she's going through a mid life crisis or something. Its still very awkward to watch her act like a 15 year old in their first relationship or something. And I'm kind of mad we didn't get to see the big reunion between Miranda and Che when Miranda showed up unannounced at their work. I fell like ltw is going to be a big storyline this season. Seema almost had nothing to do, which disappointed me.
Do you mean when Miranda flew to Ohio or when she showed up at her show in LA? I know the writers said they didn't want to write about Miranda going to OH which HELLO missed opportunity!
jeez thank you for giving a reasonable read on Che's character, (even if i don't necessarily like them more after these two episodes) but i feel like a lot of other reviewers of this show on youtube just be lowkey transphobic when they wanna criticise them, so thanks!
I AM A HUGE SATC FAN BUT IT IS A SHOW ABOUT NOTHING!!! I'm honesstly really sad about it, THEY DID NOT GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO TAKE IN CARRIE'S DRESS MOMENT! WHY DID THEY DO MIRANDA LIKE THAT
I loved your video, but I just don't see the appeal of the first Episode tbh. However I do agree that at least Che starts to have more personality (even tho I don't like any of their traits lol) But I'm curious to know your thoughts on Episode 3 because I actually liked that one (at least in comparision to every othe one).
First : who is this show about , sex n the city was about this 4 girls n just like that should be about the 3 girl (without Samatha) , first of all m irritated to see that Seema character trying to become the new Samantha. N all these decades the show was about womanhood and fashion suddenly it’s become a “woke / political “ n all that crap . Why do they have to force all that wokeness into the show. We had non binary characters before in the show , Carries gay friend and charlotte gay friends who got married and it was fun , it was lovely to see both the gay characters their style their dialogues , it was a blast show , it was real raw with all kinds characters. But now it feels like a politically, well measured wokeness written script trying to impress extreme leftist. Also they forgot their audiences , their audiences are from 90s , n we want to see in real world how people from 90s are now or feel now , I am in my 30s , I want to feel connected to other wonderful women in 30s through this show , I want to see them who will be in I guess their 60 living life so I get an inspiration. But unfortunately I feel they are targeting a different kind of audience and do not care anything at all about their old audience
It’s like dynasty (81 of course) but nothing happens. No amnesia no evil twins and definitely no alexes. I find myself flicking through my phone when it’s on. Not a good sign.
Not a fair comparison. One is a fresh show and the other one with several seasons and movies. And Just Like That is never going to be like SATC or how it was back then.
It’s not just Che…. It’s how immature, needy and neurotic Miranda’s character is in these episodes…. She’s nerve racking ……I have other critiques of this season 2 series, but will refrain for fear of You Tube busting me for such scathing review….and FYI, absolutely loved the original Sex in the C!………..more later
They managed to give such main characters to the women of color that Charlotte actually fell into a secondary character… But they fulfilled that deep worry of being incisive…wait! I’m mad! There’s no red hair person!!!!😡 Wait! -Miranda could be that… no! Cultural appropriation!!! 😂😂😂😂
Really enjoyed this analysis and shoutout fellow vegan here 🎉🌱💚💯🙌👏🏻💐I watched a couple of eps of Glamorous and really loved seeing the lovely K. Have you seen her series “Sensitive Skin” which is so good 💯? However the wokeness (and bearing in mind the wokeness overload in UK) 🇬🇧 I just couldn’t put myself through it. When my nausea subsides I will probably return for KC and fashion. Brightest blessings to you 💚💚🙄😬🤩
Carrie, a sex columist: "Eww, pegging" What is happening? Lol. MIRANDA is so mad at Steve for having sex while she is having sex with Che- and CARRIE, God I never realized how self depreciating she is... like "I'm not sure what advice I can give", whatever lady your a well known writer... and Charlotte's character has fallen flat! No depth. Wow, this one really went down hill. :(
As much as these present attempts at bringing back the great vibe of the original SITC, it sadly falls short of the mark on many levels…..however given all the negative comments primarily from woman, I suspect a lot of jealousy out there…..seriously ladies! It’s Sex in the City!!……as extreme and outrageous as some of the plots are, I personally have lived many of these patterns and dialogues as have many woman of the 80’s-90’s …..some of you are too young to get it! But most of you should in reality, because as nuts as many of these episodes are they are attempts be appear relevant mirroring our current issues and social climate

Kind of tragic this show has gone from - you can be your own person married or single and a baby doesn’t define you…. To our poor flanderised sweetheart Charlotte being just mommy who only lives through her kids.
Screenplay is just sooo boring. Problems like "I lost my mobile" or "My daughter sell Chanels dress". Characters have conversations like they dont care, theres no chemistry. Its not cringe anymore, its just boring. Nothing can cover it, even fancy clothes or props.
WOW I JUST REALIZED THAT SEEMA'S DATE IS THE GUY FROM PRADA! LOL The actor isn't playing the same character because that guy from Prada was friends with Carrie, but Carrie doesn't know this character that Seema is dating in AJLT
Omg no wonder he looks familiar! That was Carrie's Jack Burger short-lived era
I cannot see Miranda's appeal to CHE, seriously!
It's not because of Che's binary state but the fact that "their" physical appeal is non-existant.
Really!
That sima is such a Samantha wannabe it’s not even funny. Or close. She could nevaaaa
This is what felt off THERE ARE TOO MANY MAIN CHARACTERS! I couldn't figure it out
The homage with Hong Kong Garden & the Vivian Westwood dress totally had my jaw on the floor!
Vivienne Westwood RIP Queen
Episode 2 felt more like a filler to move along larger points
#JusticeforSteve
He was just cancelled out for no reason.😂
Poor poor Steve
I have watched a few episodes of glamorous just because of Kim! 😀 It’s nice show to watch for fun, doesn’t really require a huge deal of mental energy or concentration. I don’t know if I only like it because of Kim, but I think it’s watchable.
ok now I'm intrigued
When the relationship is over between Miranda and shay,
I wonder if Miranda will beg Steve to return or if somehow Miranda and her son end up living together in NY
I couldn’t even finish episode 2, so thanks for the review.
hope you enjoyed it! xx
What a time saver!! Thanks, hun!!! Same time next week? ❤
you bet! xx
Why they opened with everyone getting sex, I hate Che, scenes are rushed and not funny, to many characters, Sima trying to be Samantha, I cantttttt I cantttt why they ruined it, we saw Miranda naked and it’s just not her anymore I’m just so frustrated
OMG Seema's BF is Tony from Prada! I did not recognize him!
Where is the vibe???
1)Nothing is relatable anymore in this show...we can't relate with anyone, they are all rich and famous for some reason (the Met gala, the clothes, everything is out of reach)
2)We don't see New York anywhere
3) Miranda used to be my favourite character...but now she is LOST ... She moved to LA to live Che's life (just like she said to Carrie about moving to Paris with Petrovsky)
4) Charlotte is a caricature of her old self
5)Seema is an unnecessary character
6) Carrie's voiceovers HAVE to make an urgent come back
7) I'm getting my hopes up for next episodes 🤞🤞🤞
Sara Ramirez is too talented for this show. Im still not understanding why she wanted to be on this
She’s talented? Cause on this show she’s not remotely funny and I wonder why she’s on the show for that reason.
*Sara Ramirez uses they/them pronouns fyi
🤑
It's a parody
I actually like how prudish carrie is in and just like that, i mean is kinda in her pov
Vagina is not a dirty word. How old is she?
You should start calling Tony from Prada “Antoine Lambert from Maison Lavaux”!!!!
Episode one did nothing for me. It's actually depressing how lacklustre this show is compared to the original. Even seeing 2 second clips reminds you just how fantastic and unique the OG show was. RIP SATC.
Showing them all having sex is the single most unrealistic thing I've seen on this show.
It just doesn't happen with people that age
That tidbit right at the end *omg* gitl I *LIVE* for the petty hahaha I'll always love Kim Cattrall.
Nah it still makes no sense Carrie would be that conservative. As many examples you gave, there could be double of her freely talking about things pertaining to sex. Carrie was always down the middle. A balance between Samantha and Charlotte.
I liked the first episode
There were just a couple of weird writing choices
But it was way better than the first season
I'll be back after the second
I agree!! I didn’t think i’d ever say that but … i actually love Che in this season. She seems like a real person now.
You are so right about the 2nd episode, every single thing! And sidenote, you caught that Lily still has that cupcake purse from the 1st Sex and the City movie, in her closet. Miranda and Che have great chemistry? I completely disagree and that moment about body image was cringy because the acting and chemistry between the actors wasn't there. I'm tired of the show forcing this relationship on the viewers. Also I agree that there are too many characters with no time for character development. I do love Lisa Todd Wesley or LTW in general and her "Met Ball" look! It's believable that LTW and Charlotte would be friends.
HOnestly, I thought the whole jeans thing was going to be a bit somehow.
The show forced diversity too much, all those new characters did not add up to anything . You could fats forward their scenes without noticing them
The ugly wedding gown with the cape - when I saw it in a promo, I thought it was a remake of Hocus Pocus. Hideous!
That was exactly my thought! 😂😂
I just hate che
Hateeeeeee her or I should say them
I'm kind of sick of watching these extremely succesful women having succesful love/sex lives. The old sex & the city was actually a little bit more realistic and had more real drama.
Not to mention the clothes... who the F*CK goes out in public day after day looking like that -- not to mention the horrendous HATS of Carries? This is the 21st century. Twilight Zone. Hot mess. A sex columnist who is shy about talking about SEX?? God help us all. The actors who disappeared or died last time are the luckiest ones.
I never saw Carrie as a prude at all, so I was also a little puzzled by the failure to say a "certain word" on the radio. I thought maybe the reason was because ads are a necessary evil and maybe she didn't agree with selling douche. A lot of gynecologists' will tell women to just use a tiny bit of vinegar with a lot of water and to avoid perfume altogether. However Carrie doesn't say that, or the male writers don't say that. Anyway I love the show and this is a very good review. Thank you.
Carrie always was a prude! SJP won't go topless and Carrie was the most boring sex columnist ever
I loved the original show, it was exciting. Great writing. I loved the characters. This is not a show ,to look forward to. The writing is abismal , too many characters, the original characters have been oblitorated.this show has no life to it. Not even NYC is made to look exciting.
Every character they added in for all of these additional storylines is poc and/or lbgtq. So it got crowded. They wanted to make up for just having white women and men and now theres just too many people because they keep the people who have left a character by still talking about them. They either killed off, separated, or moved for work 4 white people. I got very tired of carrie talking about her dead husband every chance she got.
Waiting for Steve...
WHERE THE F*** IS STEVE!?
It’s hilarious that some people are trying to say this show is better bc it’s still fkn horrible
Everything is fantasy and woke today.
I think charlotte is the KOURTNEY of the series she’s all
About her kids
I think we can just regard this show as a lookbook. If we need good stories, look elsewhere.
that’s an excellent idea!
hahaha ouch
The term “My gay best friend” needs to be taken out of the show entirely.
Yes! We should have left that behind back in the second movie!
Someone actually said that? There are so many talented writers out there but they actually paid someone to write that. Makes no sense, unless their target audience is some woman in Utah who desperately wants a gay friend to help her pick out drapes.
Miranda and Che have zero chemistry 😂
Not wanting to be peed on makes you prude? Lol that was the ONE time I actually agreed with Carrie 😂
SATC was story driven with the sex more implied and very sexy. Season 2 - no stories, it’s just blatant sex. I’m no prude but I am scarred.
I feel like it would have been so much better if Carrie didn't want to do the commercial because she didn't want to talk about her aging vagina and dryness issues. That would've made more sense and be more relatable.
Way too much woke content. Way too much.
Seyma's MET styling? Why?
love all your commentaries, so true!
Love these recaps! Can't wait for the next one. Can't say I'm watching the show, though.
All your remarks are on point I thought the exact same thing about these two episodes…yes, two winkles at interesting moments: the mother in law and Che becoming vulnerable and with a secret past…
But that didn’t go anywhere else…
And yes! 😂 I thought the exact same thing: “Prada guy” -who I thought was one of the best prospects for Charlotte back then…and..that guy from Dawsons Creek!
😂😂😂😂 hilarious all the nonsenses and ironies…
Who on Earth BUYS Final Draft to re-write a simple podcast 30 second ad?
Sara jessica parker needs to give it up. She is a 1 note actress. She cant play any other role than rich,fashionable Newyorker
I think Che is literally the only good thing about this show. It should’ve never been greenlit. You knew that it was going to be all that it is and in a day where the fans are older and (mostly) wiser, it really needs to speak with more value than it had back in the OG days. We are still getting a pack of prudes in high dollar clothing that have little to no souls. They are well old enough to be better people, but none of them are. Just like the show Girls, it’s kind of a bummer to see that all of the men on this show are the adults with a mature mindset and the women are the brats even at this age. Now we all see the importance of Samantha both then and now. She was the true heartbeat of this show.
Aiden def is the reason they got this second season. Mark my words, that Samantha bit isn’t
going to show up till the last episode so they can sell you a bill of goods for a third season.
I'm going to say it, Carrie's original Met gala dress was bland. The cape looked good though. I'm glad she wore her wedding dress.
I’m still watching bc I grew up with these girls and love them. “And Just like that,” the writers are ruining the characters.
(Still love Carrie Bradshaw). And I was head over heels for Lisa Wexley’s met gala look. Amazing!
One character I can’t stand…is rock. Boy…girl…don’t care. Rock is a freaking brat.
love you critics... love you that you mention the old Miranda, and It was my only moment of a laugh!,,,hahaha
I couldn’t get past the 4th episode of the first season, this show bored me to tears. No originality anymore and the characters suck.
I actually liked Che so far. Big improvement over last season, and the Tony DAnza bit was pretty funny. I liked how excited he got over getting everyone's prounouns correctly. MIranda feels like she's going through a mid life crisis or something. Its still very awkward to watch her act like a 15 year old in their first relationship or something. And I'm kind of mad we didn't get to see the big reunion between Miranda and Che when Miranda showed up unannounced at their work. I fell like ltw is going to be a big storyline this season. Seema almost had nothing to do, which disappointed me.
Do you mean when Miranda flew to Ohio or when she showed up at her show in LA? I know the writers said they didn't want to write about Miranda going to OH which HELLO missed opportunity!
@@j.wynona8342 When she showed up to LA. I thought that was supposed to be their big romantic moment and they just blew past it
@@katemccrea6963 definitely a missed opportunity! I think it's lazy writing
jeez thank you for giving a reasonable read on Che's character, (even if i don't necessarily like them more after these two episodes) but i feel like a lot of other reviewers of this show on youtube just be lowkey transphobic when they wanna criticise them, so thanks!
Why is this video sooooo dark?
I AM A HUGE SATC FAN BUT IT IS A SHOW ABOUT NOTHING!!! I'm honesstly really sad about it, THEY DID NOT GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO TAKE IN CARRIE'S DRESS MOMENT! WHY DID THEY DO MIRANDA LIKE THAT
I have been waiting for this video 🙌🏻
Oh and the miranda, finger me moment with steve, what the hell was that!
I loved your video, but I just don't see the appeal of the first Episode tbh.
However I do agree that at least Che starts to have more personality (even tho I don't like any of their traits lol)
But I'm curious to know your thoughts on Episode 3 because I actually liked that one (at least in comparision to every othe one).
First : who is this show about , sex n the city was about this 4 girls n just like that should be about the 3 girl (without Samatha) , first of all m irritated to see that Seema character trying to become the new Samantha. N all these decades the show was about womanhood and fashion suddenly it’s become a “woke / political “ n all that crap . Why do they have to force all that wokeness into the show. We had non binary characters before in the show , Carries gay friend and charlotte gay friends who got married and it was fun , it was lovely to see both the gay characters their style their dialogues , it was a blast show , it was real raw with all kinds characters. But now it feels like a politically, well measured wokeness written script trying to impress extreme leftist. Also they forgot their audiences , their audiences are from 90s , n we want to see in real world how people from 90s are now or feel now , I am in my 30s , I want to feel connected to other wonderful women in 30s through this show , I want to see them who will be in I guess their 60 living life so I get an inspiration. But unfortunately I feel they are targeting a different kind of audience and do not care anything at all about their old audience
It’s like dynasty (81 of course) but nothing happens. No amnesia no evil twins and definitely no alexes. I find myself flicking through my phone when it’s on. Not a good sign.
I'm so glad you mentioned Glamorous! I'm on episode 4 and I love it. It's everything the Sex and the City reboot should have been.
Oh yes! I’ve just watched 1st episode. It’s funny, entertaining and I Love all the characters. Even the devil one. Thumbs up❤
Not a fair comparison. One is a fresh show and the other one with several seasons and movies. And Just Like That is never going to be like SATC or how it was back then.
I hated it. It's terrible.
it seems like a very polarising show. I'm intrigued
There have only been 3 episodes. Nice try bot
It’s not just Che…. It’s how immature, needy and neurotic Miranda’s character is in these episodes…. She’s nerve racking ……I have other critiques of this season 2 series, but will refrain for fear of You Tube busting me for such scathing review….and FYI, absolutely loved the original Sex in the C!………..more later
They managed to give such main characters to the women of color that Charlotte actually fell into a secondary character…
But they fulfilled that deep worry of being incisive…wait! I’m mad! There’s no red hair person!!!!😡
Wait! -Miranda could be that… no! Cultural appropriation!!! 😂😂😂😂
The first two episodes was crazy boring 😴hopefully it improves
They don't even understand their own characters.
Really enjoyed this analysis and shoutout fellow vegan here 🎉🌱💚💯🙌👏🏻💐I watched a couple of eps of Glamorous and really loved seeing the lovely K. Have you seen her series “Sensitive Skin” which is so good 💯? However the wokeness (and bearing in mind the wokeness overload in UK) 🇬🇧 I just couldn’t put myself through it. When my nausea subsides I will probably return for KC and fashion. Brightest blessings to you 💚💚🙄😬🤩
Carrie, a sex columist: "Eww, pegging"
What is happening? Lol. MIRANDA is so mad at Steve for having sex while she is having sex with Che- and CARRIE, God I never realized how self depreciating she is... like "I'm not sure what advice I can give", whatever lady your a well known writer... and Charlotte's character has fallen flat! No depth. Wow, this one really went down hill. :(
Love this recap thank you
As much as these present attempts at bringing back the great vibe of the original SITC, it sadly falls short of the mark on many levels…..however given all the negative comments primarily from woman, I suspect a lot of jealousy out there…..seriously ladies! It’s Sex in the City!!……as extreme and outrageous as some of the plots are, I personally have lived many of these patterns and dialogues as have many woman of the 80’s-90’s …..some of you are too young to get it! But most of you should in reality, because as nuts as many of these episodes are they are attempts be appear relevant mirroring our current issues and social climate
