And Just Like That Season 3

Also she has hip surgery and yet walks around at home in heels? How does that make sense.

I get being fashionable when you are out. I'm in my heels when I'm out and I never where sneakers and change my shoes (fashionable flats or something like that) but really. Does she want hip surgery again?

It's not just her. Look at how much overacting is being done by most of the cast. The bread guy is awful but he used to be funny, Harry, the kids. Everybody overacts. It's as if they hired a cast from a high school and told them to be BIG. It is so cringe. This is horrible directing. It's not just horrible writing.

Watch The Guided Age…Nixon’s acting in it makes Davis look like she has immense talent.

A show with so many similarities to AJLT... many horrible actors, horrible dialogue, plots that make no sense, too many Broadway stars, many people who hatewatch

Exactly. Regardless of how they feel about the actor, the Big character would still be impacting her life.

I was thinking about this while I was watching it, and I think that her just “getting over it” is part of the appeal of the show.
None of the main characters ever have any backstory. They are just plopped in NYC with no previous family or friends or hometown. How believable was it that Charlotte’s parents weren’t involved in her wedding to Trey or vocal about her conversion to Judaism?
They don’t have the baggage that real people do in the real world. They just show up to every scene as a blank slate more or less. Thats part of what’s appealing about the show, I think.

Agree and don't

The money she has to buy that house is from Big. No photo of him; or framed something or an album they love together but she has every shoe she has worn since she was 22?

Also Charlotte's dad gave her away; they do talk about their families but don't talk about the drama and trauma of it. Miranda settled into a life caring for Steve's mom.

But yeah they don't have nieces or nephews or obligations to anyone out of this little bubble.

Maybe that’s it. They have no drama or trauma from their past. Ever. Once it doesn’t move the storyline along anymore, it’s gone. They have years long friendships that drop in from nowhere and disappear just as quickly. They forget about previous escapades with each other. They aren’t native New Yorkers, but they aren’t from anywhere else either. They are from nowhere.
They just exist in the present and without a past. That is why we can spend so much time talking about their dresses and shoes. It’s lovely

I am not someone who regular wears heels, but she explained to her neighbor that she was trying out shoes.

Also, a lot of habitual heel wearers have a shorten Achilles tendon. They can’t comfortably walk without heels.

I think Kristen Davis in particular is overacting because she can’t really move her face anymore. Her plastic surgery has made speaking clearly difficult so she is over the top. She was much better in SATC, and she had a really expressive face.
