In a recent interview, Cynthia Nixon reflects on her experiences with 'Sex and the City' (SATC), acknowledging its shortcomings over 20 years. She enjoyed 90% of the series upon rewatch but expressed concerns about its homogeneity and problematic portrayal of LGBTQ+ storylines. Nixon criticized the predominantly white cast and the financial privilege of its characters while appreciating the show's feminist narrative and the challenging stigma around being single at the time. These insights reveal her candid perspective on the show's legacy and influence.
Nixon emphasizes that while "90% of the original series was still pretty great," she admits that some elements have "really not aged well."
She highlights the challenge of being part of a predominantly white cast, recalling, "It was always very difficult being on a show that was so white."
Nixon points out flaws in LGBTQ+ representation, stating, "Some of the trans stuff, some of the gay stuff was a little cringy to look at."
Despite its flaws, Nixon acknowledges the show's impact, noting that "it's always been a feminist show" and transformed media for women.
