I felt that way about all of the characters, but it was an entertaining show, kind of like Seinfeld where none of the characters were all that likeable, but it was a funny show. The situations were funny, but the characters imo weren't all that likeable. I never could related to any of them.

And 90% of the dudes on that show were F*CKING UGLY. I mean, I wouldn't f*ck them with someone else's pussy. And these hot ass bitches are supposed to be all up in their mess..... the casting was ATROCIOUS.

It's ugly dudes with the money in NYC. If he's rich and hot, he's a true psycho.

So true!! Or gay.

To me the show was enjoyable because Carrie was a flawed protagonist. I always felt she was immature and annoying, but that made her relatable - we all had that friend! Who wants to watch a show about some perfectly behaved Mary Sue who does everything right? No drama in that!

Yes there was. It was called Television Without Pity. They did snarky recaps of shows and had a forum for discussion. It was great.

Omg I loved Television Without Pity. Those recaps!

You mean The Russian (mikhail baryshnikov)?? That pairing was a flop, they had zero chemistry.

Their plan was better than yours.

Ha! I got the big city, the hot guy, and a career that gives me all the money, thank you very much. How's mom life going?

to a large extent, carrie is a loser, but that doesn't make the show bad.

Lighten up guys . It was a tv show about a flawed character. And I don’t think she was intimately a lawyer. She became a successful writer

Don’t think she was ultimately a failure ...

She’s a 30sometbing, has no savings, still rents an apartment, is materialistic and shallow and chases a creepy unavailable jerk!

Not to mention club hopping well into her forties and coming home drunk every night gets lame past 21.

There should have been an after school episode where one of them had a herpes flare up that got into their brain. Charlotte had crabs one episode. That was it.

Hey, Miranda had chlamydia! But they likely all had hpv at the very least.

Um, almost everyone who has been sexually active with other sexually active people has had HPV. It's not really a marker for anything.

Uh... ....that's the point of the whole show! it's not supposed to be a show that requires any deep thinking! it's "escape TV". Jesus, you people cannot relax for even one second.

I was 28 and newly married when it came out and loved it! It was our Sunday night ritual to watch.

My brother and husband’s best friend were NYC bachelors at the time and we used to take the train up and go out with them a lot.

I feel like I was experiencing SATC through male eyes because I was always out with a bunch of guys. And, some of the guys were horrible and some had hilariously funny stories.

But, I don’t think it translates well to 2018. For one, people didn’t online date back then and millennials are having a lot less sex. It was a very different culture/time.

A lot of the episodes had issues that were “of the time”. For example, Brazilian bikini was new—most women tried it after seeing that episode. A lot was taken from the current culture off the streets which made it relevant. I also feel it was at a time when people married much later and had kids later. I think there has been a shift of people starting early 30s, instead of waiting until 35.

I always thought Carrie should have been with Aiden and hated her for cheating/breaking his heart. I loved when he got hot again and walked away.

Yeah right. Your husband has a mistress, you are probably addicted to pain killers and shopping to fill the empty void in your life
