[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I finally finished the first episode - and I had really low expectations. But I thought it was really good. Definitely some uncomfortable moments, but those all seemed intentional.

Re: Carrie asking Big to masturbate - it totally made sense in that moment! She wasn't being prurient or coy. She was trying to keep her job and she felt like getting less prudish about masturbation was one step toward that - and even still she was very prudish! I thought it was very in character.

Re: not calling 911. Obviously that was terrible. But I'm not even sure he was actually alive in that scene. I think the eyes and hand might have been a bit of an hallucination.

Anyway, finding this way better than I thought it would be given all the talk. Obviously Chris Noth is now dirt - no offense to dirt - but, that aside (to the extent it can be aside), I thought the portrayal of his relationship with Carrie was very warm and loving, and believable. [/quote]

The creator said something about how when they looked at each other, they both just knew it was goodbye because of their deep connection. Or some BS like that. It was supposed to be a Bonnie and Clyde moment. So not a hallucination. Just bad drama.[/quote]

Whatever it was - it didn't seem like she was just hugging him and wasting time allowing him to die. It seemed clear that he'd held on (or, as I thought, was already dead) till she got home and then he was gone. Obviously she should have called 911 still - and she must have at some point because the EMTs were there to pick him up - but it wasn't quite the negligence I was expecting based on what I'd read before watching.

I've now finished all three eps and I am enjoying this way more than I expected to. The reboot of another beloved show - Gilmore Girls - was so tragically awful that my expectations are basically in the toilet for all reboots now, I guess. But this one, seems like a real show to me still - not just lazy fan service that needed another round of rewrites and edits.

I am really struck by how they all look their age, too. (Kristen Davis' :( plastic surgery, even accounting for.) And that they are allowing women who look this age and are this age to have personal stories that feel authentic to those characters, at that stage. At least so far.[/quote]
