The HBO series about the romantic exploits of Carrie Bradshaw and her three best friends, Miranda , Charlotte , and Samantha , broke ground during its late-’90s and early-2000s run for its frank depiction of the female sexual experience and the fortifying nature of friendships among women.
The only sex we actually witness in the first four episodes provided to critics involves Brady doing it with his girlfriend, which is something I don’t think anyone needed or wanted to see. Middle age, in the And Just Like That … universe, is apparently not a time for sex. It is a time, if you’re Miranda, for going back to school for a second degree and saying literally all the wrong things to your younger Black professor .
And yet, as in any piece of revisited IP, And Just Like That … will trigger many familiar pleasure centers for an audience that remembers when people used to gather on Sunday nights to watch the original show . Carrie still dresses like she’s headed to the runway; her costumes, designed by Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago, remain a joy to behold.
