[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cynthia Nixon preparing to wear a strap-on was not on my bingo card. [/quote]

That scene was actually sort of funny - but sort of horrible.

I am up for a story about a woman, who heading toward 60, suddenly tosses aside her whole life to pursue something new that seems urgent and authentic to her. I feel like usually we get men's stories about doing that - and it's sort of refreshing to see a woman flail through this, as she makes mistakes, and acts horribly, and tries to figure out who she is and what she wants at this stage of her life.

She didn't want to sit on the couch and eat ice cream with the comfortable partner anymore - I think we can all understand that. And now she's making a mess of things while seeing what she does want.

There is something so acutely painful about watching her do it. It might be a testament to CN's acting - or to the extreme awkwardness of the writing. I guess that's what I am never sure of here - if the show wants us to feel mortified and awkward through this, or if that's accidental. I hope it's intentional. I hope that Miranda has a real arc here. (I hope to gd it's not with Che.) [/quote]

It’s absolutely intentional! It’s meant to be cringy, and Cynthia Nixon is perfection. It’s so hard to watch, I have to pause the show and cover my eyes because I feel revolting pity for her LOL.

I do like the show. It manages to piss everyone off, which means it’s doing something well. Conservatives say it’s woke nonsense, liberals say it’s performative…I like the clash between their relatively traditional values and the modern 2023 psyche. [/quote]
