So for context I watched the original SATC series when I was in high school through college and I was probably slightly younger than it's intended audience, but I was in love with the fashion, the characters, the snapshot of supposed life. It was bold, brash and liberating. Even though it was a exclusionary, I still found the dating situations/ struggles, sex scenarios/dilemmas relatable, some of the problems were very real and absolutely hilarious. So many things I was afraid to ask and talk about were on screen and the fashion was jaw dropping! This grown up version is NOT THAT! It is MUCH older and I just can't relate, I guess I watched it when I was too young so I haven't grown with them. What I see now is a big cringe fest, big generational differences, it's not as funny, the fashion is a bit try hard (definitely missing Patricia field's sparkle). In the context of today's shows that feature female friendships/sex/dating, this falls very short. Also, I hate to drone on about the lack of Samantha, but you can definitely feel it...Maybe if one of them was single and actively dating again or poly/swinging or something...it might be more interesting, but the way sex is addressed isn't as bold and trailblazing as before, it's prudish and clumsy with very random references thrown in. Their problems are boring as opposed to titillating, but I guess that's real life. For me, Anthony is the only interesting character - wish he had more air time . This feels very much in keeping with the movies as opposed to the original series. The original series had its flaws but it was brilliant for its time. To be honest, this isn't terrible, it's just not Sex and The City... but I guess that's why it's called something else. If you like the movies, you'll like this. If you like the series you'll find this mediocre at best.
