    "And Just Like That" affirms that Carrie, Charlotte and Miranda failed to mature into women any sane person would want to spend time with, let alone to grow up to be. ... It follows the wreck that was 2010's "Sex and the City 2," and comes before us with a major part of its formula missing. And while I can appreciate the need to maintain the core of what the audience knows and loves about these women, the world has changed enough since we first met them as to make their lack of evolution stunning.

    This year has been a bummer, and so is the sequel series. The zippy, intimate, charmingly featherlight landmark HBO series of yore has been replaced by yet another bloated streaming-service grief-com, the latest piece of intellectual property back in zombie form to generate headlines, pique nostalgia and ultimately disappoint us. ... Less like urgent storytelling than panicked legacy-salvaging. In apologizing for its past wrongs, the show forgets to do what it did best.

The first two episodes were really depressing (which is an interesting beginning for the Sex and the City Cinematic Universe). But the way how these characters changed in the pass of time, really doesn't fit that much, and the reason behind why Samantha won't appear is dull.
    It's intriguing how the original series only empowered white privileged women and now these women are struggling with the new reality post-covid. I mean I'm sure the fans would love this, but I don't see it as a part of the classic show. But I think is a good-try spin-off. Now I know why Kim Cattrall didn't want to be involved in this.    … Full Review »
