I'm so annoyed with Miranda. She used to give Steve a hard time for playing the TV too loud, but Che she gives a pass for having friends over at all hours of the night, not telling her they were married once, inviting that ex into their bed, being a jerk about Miranda wanting to be there for her son, literally and figuratively pushing her away... And this relationship is meant to be seen as some kind of growth for Miranda? Argh. I hate it.
But as we heard MPK is offended we didn't see Che as the hero that they were intended and now we are supposed to feel bad for not liking a FICTIONAL character 🤦🏽♂️ If that's a hero I'll take a villain any day.
@@benjaminroman916 Che’s character is so whiny and childish, it’s hard to believe they are pretending to be over 40. And they make Miranda look straight up weak, not a look I personally like for Miranda. 😅
@@benjaminroman916 He needs to stop blaming us for our reaction to poor writing. It isn't Sarah Ramirez's fault that the character is just badly written and it has forced them to make Miranda's character unrecognizable.
I really don’t think they even THOUGHT about the parallel between Che’s and Steve’s schedule. But at least Steve was KIND, and not “UGH YOU WOKE ME UP AGAIN” whiny teenager!! So annoying! At least Steve was loving & got Miranda to slow down and enjoy the simpler moments in life. Also, the fact that they played that sappy music underneath trying to make us feel bad for Che??? Nah. They know the arts is a place where constant negative feedback happens. 🙄🙄🙄
I loved seeing Che hearing what the public thinks of them, I just hope that it wasn't done to make us feel sympathy for them because it won't happen! Cynthia Nixon directed this episode and I wonder if that is why it felt like SATC. I loved Harry in this episode.
@@KasiaSopniewska I think Miranda will stay in New York and Che will go back to California and that’ll be it. Miranda forgiving Che after they were so callous about Brady’s emotional state is very odd for Miranda.
So true, but I have to admit, I was bothered that she wouldn’t just tell the guy on the phone to shut up 😅 but I guess that was aligned with Carrie’s character.
So Carrie .. a " business woman " didn't get the pressure that hot dude was under ? Instead of understanding, she bolted . Is she in middle school ? Tacky Carrie
***TWO THINGS....*** 1. ...I used to do a LOT of "Focus Group" work (late 90's -early Y2K), and did One, just last Month, for Toothpaste...and, they never, never, *N-E-V-E-R* , let the maker of the the 'product', OR the "Star"...sit, and WATCH the commenting! (3:13) ...that Che was there, watching the drilling was SO UNBELIEVABLE!! ....and, it had the OPPOSITE effect! (cont.) 2. ...looking back at the Miranda / Steve footage (of their different Time schedules), I can't IMAGINE Miranda left such a cute, cuddly, loving, loyal, MAN (1:45)....for that...... *THAT!* ....unfathomable....
I'm fine with Miranda leaving Steve, people outgrow each other. I'm fine with Miranda dating a masc non-binary. I am NOT fine with Che. They are a massive prick. There's never been a less likeable character on this franchise.
The ED guy is the same guy as in SATC, he picked up/dated Charlotte & he was perfect until he kept picking fights with everyone (knocking Char’s chair while getting up from Brunch)
I don’t agree, the show are trying to ruin Miranda’s and Charlotte’s characters. I hate them both now. Charlotte is lice a stupid character of a Disney sitcom… really annoying
This was the first episode of this entire show that i genuinely enjoyed and had me jumping into the streaming app to find out when the next episode airs
Gosh, I agree with Kaisa on the lesson thing. We are the audience, the honest and direct feedback is one of the best ways of showing respect. Why would we care about how they feel? Processing the negative feedback is part of your job. Michael should really grow up and take the criticism, rather than lecturing the audience, to whom he and his team cater. I love how they read Che tho, I feel the same way.
Girl, I don’t think they forget about all these SATC plot lines, like Miranda’s partnering with people on opposite schedules…I think they’re just recycling ideas because they lack originality & know it worked before, so it’s safe. 🤷🏻♀️ I’ve stopped expecting this show to be anywhere near as engaging as the OG show. I agree this episode had its fun moments, but overall, it will never reach the energy that SATC brought in its heyday. And the more I come to terms with that, the more I can kinda just let AJLT be the slightly trash surface-level TV that it is. Now we know Aiden is returning, and I still struggle to see what about Carrie he would want back? She’s drier than ever in her old age! But I enjoy John Corbett so it’ll be nice to see him!
@@jeahlashelifestyle6816 the main characters continue the story a few new characters and storylines doesn’t make it incomparable especially when they continue to reference the original series
This episode was kinda fun to watch! Granted, the bar hangs very low for this series, but still. I didn't know it was the actual GW costume from Hamilton that Herbert wore, that's so fun! Also, this episode was directed by Cynthia Nixon: good job Miranda! 👏👏👏
MPK is absolutely diluted. Che a hero? She’s literally abusive to everyone around her especially Miranda. MPK just loves to hate women. I need to see a comparison of the creators of SATS v AJLT.
Funny, in SATC, after Miranda had Brady, Carrie mentioned that Miranda had a child, not a lobotomy. Well, in the new series it actually feels like she did have a lobotomy… Who in their right mind allowed Cynthia Nixon to direct the new series and keep her on as a director?
Thank you so much for making these recaps, I cannot sit through the episodes but I NEED to know what's happening. PS - obsessed with the pigeon purse scale. 10/10 pigeon purses.
I'm glad you noticed the stairway was the same as in Devil Wears Prada, too! 😅 That is a classic (and very expensive) carpet -- the ribbon border is its trademark, but now the name of it escapes me. I think it's French. I immediately recognized it because I worked in a home that had that same carpet on their stairs... I like your insights to this train-wreck of a show, even utilizing the word "meta"... Nicely done 👏👏👍
I am in the small majority of people that actually like this show. It definitely has its flaws, I'm not claiming that its the best show ever written, but I enjoy it. I went into it 100% committed to not comparing or expecting it to be SATC. Who I was when SATC was being aired is completely different from who I am today so why would I expect the characters to be written as exactly who they were 20+ years ago? When there are SATC parallels with this show, I consider them little bonuses and I love them because they are subtle and not necessarily shoved down our throats as an attempt to prove that its still the same show. One of my biggest gripes about the show though is that there's not enough focus around the friendship and connection between the 3 main characters, HOWEVER, much like real life, as you get older many of your friendships tend to fizzle out and you just don't spend as much time together as you focus on family, careers, etc. So I get it but their connection is the one thing from the past show that I miss.
Woke up to a great surprise to see this video pop up on my youtube feed. I was worried you wouldn't post anything after the last episode! lol Thank you!
@@KasiaSopniewska that whole storyline was a mess. Because if she really felt bad for him she would have paid his medical bill (which would have been understandable) when both his cards declined. But I guess they couldn’t figure out a reason for her to break into his house if she had paid at the hospital lol
@@skyfitsheaven I was actually annoyed at George for that, the project was due in a couple days and he found it difficult to focus on completing it. At his big age. Maybe that's why Carrie also got mad at him because she's seeing who he really is? If she even cared at least 🤷🏿♀️
I totally agree. This episode had a feel similar to the older seasons, and the characters were who we used to know And thanks for the references! It's so interesting
Your analysis is sooo good! But can we talk about the fact that Mirandas SATC personal style seems to be back this season? 😍 And also, that brown turtleneck looks a lot like the one Carrie wore in season 6!
I agree with everything you said. Overall I love three of the new main characters from last season! Chen can’t decide, maybe in a different part of the show?! Carrie can, as far I am concerned, stay home. The way she has been dressing is flat. I am in New York a lot and see little of her style there. The old Carrie I do see, the frumpy, dull hair and makeup not so much…if you are trying to send a style message. As she clearly is. But still love Anthony!! He brings just the right amount of something special!! Harry, Steve need more airtime!!! The p-pump scene, priceless!! Harry at the shot LOVED! I like you loved the staten island ferry show! Hope you fell better!!!
can’t agree…this episode was just as shitty as the previous ones (with the only exception being episode three) those storylines are so forced and the editing is dreadful
@@julialosieva2255 only ep 3 was a little different and less random, so it felt a bit like an improvement but we dove right back into dullness afterwards. this show needs to be cancelled
season 2 episode 5 and episode 6 are like two comletely different series (yet directed by the same person)It's called inconsistency in directing. I just thought it was going well, after the 5th episode, when...I was disappointed by how forced, artificial and how poor the dialogues are. Acting-as if it were theater and not tv.
This is so random but I am pretty sure this episode was filmed at my college ( Baruch) and I was literally in class when it happened I am so sad I didn't get to see them film it. By time my class was done everyone was gone I was heartbroken lol !
TBH I don't get all the hate towards Che. The character is fine, complex and quite likable, unlike many others in SATC or AJLT. The real here issue was that new Miranda of AJLT, who was not the Miranda from SATC. But instead of hating on old good Miranda everyone started that shit storm towards Che who did nothing wrong. Literally, Che dud nothing wrong. The character was well-written and like, the actor wad good. But let's instead blame lousy writing and some strange Cynthia Nixon's demands on a completely different subject. I don't get it.
The Che character commits every sitcom sin: unfunny, preachy, smug, and self important. The romance "showmance?" unnatural, uncharmjng, and unconvincing. I love Sara Ramirez and am happy they have found their identity. But Che is no Sara. I won't miss that character at all. AJLT is trying too hard to be all things to all people..and it ends up being not enough for anyone. I hatewatch it, just to see how bad it can be.
Horrible series. Only good to feel better about whatever is going on in one’s life. Racist show, very superficial and with horrible character development and clownish fashion. I honestly see it for the wrong reasons so I should probably stop. It’s kind of like watching keeping up with the Kardashians when my mother in law died
legit i watch it so i can be like "well at least I didn't abandon a husband and teenage son for some narcissistic jerk while i was in the middle of a crisis".
I'm so annoyed with Miranda.

I agree so much, when did Miranda become such a push over???
Yesss! Great words!

Honestly, I thought they broke up when Miranda decided to go back to New York. Two episodes later, they are still together lol
@@KasiaSopniewska I think Miranda will stay in New York and Che will go back to California and that’ll be it. Miranda forgiving Che after they were so callous about Brady’s emotional state is very odd for Miranda.
i just always loved Steve and her together. He is such a good person and understood and loved her
I think the Writer’s will tease that throughout the whole series, but will prove to us that true loves wins 🤮
god, i hope so lol
I agree, it was a fun episode, Carrie trying to get out of the bed while the guy was on the phone was such a SATC moment
true! this episode had so many good moments
So true, but I have to admit, I was bothered that she wouldn’t just tell the guy on the phone to shut up 😅 but I guess that was aligned with Carrie’s character.

@@Leelz247 she is homosexual or bisexual and is a female. Biology and sexuality will not be erased by attention seeking fools
She is abrasive and not likable .
It’s definitely been established it was not a requirement to have watched the previous show in order to write for this one.
I even forgot about Miranda and Steve's different schedules in SATC because AJLT feels like a whole different show.
The ED guy is the same guy as in SATC, he picked up/dated Charlotte & he was perfect until he kept picking fights with everyone (knocking Char’s chair while getting up from Brunch)
