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.
-
In shedding so much of the clutter it, like Carrie’s studio, had been accumulating since the 20th century, AJLT finally feels less like an SATC hangover and more like its own preposterous yet generally fun thing.

I just can’t stop loving And Just Like That… and I also could not stop binging the first six episodes that were sent to critics recently. It might not be good TV, but I firmly believe it is top tier entertainment.

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.
-
It’s refreshing to say that And Just Like That has gotten better in season 3. It’s a bit funnier — in a way that isn’t trying so hard to be — and it’s leaning into its frivolity without attempting to pretend it’s anything else.

Much of Sex and the City's core fandom will enjoy the frothy escapism of these new episodes, partly thanks to the series' magnetically charismatic actors. For now, thanks to some much-needed refinements between seasons, maybe that's enough.
