Season 1 Review:
It captures a lot of the heart and charm that the original did, alongside some hard emotional truths. And despite a lot of doubt on the part of viewers when this project was announced (especially sans Samantha), as of the first two episodes the show has genuinely made a case for its return.

Season 2 Review:
Overall, the toughest thing that And Just Like That has had to do is figure out how to be Sex and the City in the 21st century. (Yes, Sex and the City ran until 2004, but spiritually it never really left 1999.) Season 2 does so by fully embracing a truth most of us figure out after the age of 30: Your best friends are your best friends, that will never change, but as lives change so do friendships.

Season 3 Review:
Much of these first few episodes have the patter of a classic SATC episode, more so than previous seasons of AJLT. .... When the show works, it’s because it nails the exploration about what happens to our relationships with our friends, our lovers, and ourselves as we get older.

Season 2 Review:
In its second season, it feels more content to be its own thing – a fun, frothy farce about women in their 50s navigating their lives with even more clumsiness than they did when they were in their 30s. It’s still intensely quotable, deeply meme-worthy and brilliantly watchable.

Season 2 Review:
Season 2 is a delightful improvement over the first season. If you loved to hate And Just Like That... Season 1, there are still enough bonkers moments to fuel your hate-tweets. And if you’re a SATC diehard, you’ll find yourself swooning (and screaming) over where the decades-long saga takes Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda next.

Season 1 Review:
That, to me, is the most striking thing about And Just Like That. By getting away from the sex and the city of it all, in 2021, it actually feels a bit more real. ... And Just Like That marries the optimism and breathless wonder of a 1998 Carrie Bradshaw with the weariness that accompanies, as Samantha once said, decades of “lies and mutually accepted delusions.” And just like that…evolution.

Season 1 Review:
Despite its faults, there's nothing quite like seeing our old friends back in the concrete jungle. ... Miranda, Charlotte and Carrie are just as sharp, vibrant and chaotic as they ever were, and it's impossible not to get invested in their sky-high emotional stakes this go-around.

Season 1 Review:
And Just Like That… gets Sex and the City back to basics. There are still guffaws and glamour – Parker, in particular, looks unsurprisingly spectacular – but it also has emotional heft. Elements here are certainly missed, from Carrie’s near-absent voiceover to the retired theme music, but these first two episodes are otherwise a return to form.

Season 1 Review:
There’s a lot to admire here, actually, such as a real push towards inclusion which isn’t just limited to the wonderful Sara Ramirez, getting a true breakout role as comedian and podcast host Che Diaz. There’s a greater feel of community to this show, as the ensemble feels richer and more developed.

Season 3 Review:
While there are lulls in subsequent episodes, plots actually begin to feel propulsive at times, especially as Carrie and Miranda develop new possible love interests played by very appealing, but not focus-pulling, and for some reason both British, actors Jonathan Cake and Dolly Wells. The episodes grow more serious as they progress, tackling issues like old age, sickness and death, as well they should to act their age.

Season 2 Review:
The second episode, I’m sorry to say, feels a lot more disjointed. While nearly everyone was pulled together by the power of the Met in the premiere, everyone is off on their own side stories in episode two. [The score is the average of grades for the first two episodes.]

Season 2 Review:
At least this season doesn’t have as many groan-worthy moments in how it handles race, but it’s a shame that it still doesn’t do these characters justice. Yet, what has improved most this season is the writing; the comic and emotional beats start to hit their stride in the third episode and beyond.

Season 1 Review:
For all its heavy-handed flaws and self-indulgent tendencies, the new series shows an earnest devotion to grow along with its audience, whether that’s by inviting fresh faces to their dinner tables or acknowledging that no one (not even Carrie) stays the same forever.
