Sex and the City has served as a cultural touchstone since its launch in 1998, chronicling the lives of four women navigating love and friendship in New York City. While it has timeless themes, various elements, including a lack of diversity and outdated humor, have led to criticisms of its relevance today. Sarah Jessica Parker has openly acknowledged these shortcomings and suggested that the portrayal and conversations within the show would differ significantly in light of contemporary social movements, particularly regarding the representation of women of color and LGBTQ issues.
Parker acknowledged the show hasn't aged well, citing its lack of diversity and relevance to contemporary issues like the #metoo movement.
There are plot lines that are no longer acceptable and jokes that certainly are not funny in today's context.
