The third season of 'And Just Like That' highlights a shift towards a more comfortable and natural portrayal of characters, moving away from previous struggles to fit them into modern narratives. A shoe montage underscores this evolution, suggesting that the series embraces its extravagant essence. Characters grapple with relatable issues but remain enriched, focusing on their affluent lifestyles and meaningful friendships, while dealing with personal complexities that surface in their relationships, particularly Carrie's new long-distance situation with Aidan and Charlotte's family dynamics.
I began to suspect that the storyline had been retrofitted to the idea of simply showing off the shoes. And I realised that, even if that is the case, I don't mind at all.
If the first two seasons were fondly received but sometimes excruciating exercises in attempting to squeeze its characters into the modern age, then this feels like a loosening of the belt.
Life's primary emotional entanglements... are present, sure, but they hum away lightly, like ambient noise, any sharp corners dulled by vast riches.
In this season, the leads are no longer trying to be anything other than themselves: absurdly rich New Yorkers in their 50s...
Carrie is now living in a sparsely furnished, absolutely massive Gramercy Park townhouse. She is still with Aidan, though he remains in Virginia.
