"Where to begin with the love/hate Sex and the City spin-off? The show was plagued with woeful writing, cringe-inducing character development (justice for Miranda!) and just 71 seconds of fan-favourite Samantha. But for a moment there, as the third series started, it looked like And Just Like That had finally hit its stride. Then came an episode all about Seema's natural deodorant."
"No wonder creator Michael Patrick King announced that this would be the final series. It ended on a bum note; the closeup of Miranda's toilet flooded with poo was just way too symbolic. Still, there's no denying that fans have had a hoot dissecting every single wtf? episode. And as Carrie a single woman once more danced around her palatial townhouse to Barry White's You're The First, The Last, My Everything, who didn't let out a little sob?"
"Can Kim Kardashian act? Of course she can't' Kardashian with Naomi Watts in All's Fair. Photograph: Ser Baffo/Disney Can Kim Kardashian act? Of course she can't. But that was almost the least of All's Fair's problems. The recipient of a very rare zero star review in the Guardian (and, it must be said, richly deserving the absence of every one of those stars), it was hard to know where to start with listing the problems with this Ryan Murphy clunker."
And Just Like That suffered from woeful storytelling, cringe-inducing character development and 71 seconds of fan-favourite Samantha. The third series showed promise before an episode focused on Seema's natural deodorant undermined momentum. Creator Michael Patrick King announced the third series as the final run. The finale concluded on a low note with a closeup of Miranda's toilet flooded with poo. Carrie returned to single life and danced through her townhouse to Barry White, prompting emotional fan reactions. All's Fair featured Kim Kardashian in a poorly received role and earned a rare zero-star review for leaden dialogue, veneration of wealth, clichés and spiteful performances.
