The beloved series 'Sex and the City' ended with its spin-off 'And Just Like That', which began in 2021. Carrie Bradshaw navigated her life experiences, but the final season brought closure to her lengthy relationship with Aidan. The show faced criticism for its portrayal of characters, particularly with Mr. Big's abrupt death, which some viewed as disrespectful. Lacking the character Samantha, the series introduced new characters to fill her role but often appeared disconnected from the essence of the original series.
And Just Like That first appeared in 2021, and devotees of the original might have held a tentative flicker of hope that in returning to these beloved characters, now in their 50s, it might find a way to repurpose some of its former magic for this new stage of life.
It began with a splash by killing off Carrie's husband, Mr Big, who had a heart attack while overdoing it on his stationary exercise bike. Some felt that such a casual death was disrespectful to the show's history.
Unfortunately, it went in the other direction, careering all over that legacy like a toddler just learning to walk. There would be no Samantha, of course: Kim Cattrall... has long been open about her poor relationship with her former cast mates and her lack of interest in returning to the show.
And Just Like That tried to plug the Samantha gap with new friends, finding Samantha's ambition in a documentary-maker, Lisa Todd Wexley, and her sex drive in real estate agent Seema Patel, though both mostly felt like superfluous distractions from the main narrative.
