The thing about that show is that it was groundbreaking FOR ITS TIME.  It really was original in that you had women really talking about sexual experiences and relationships in a way that wasn't singularly focused on finding a husband and happy ever after.  You also had different female perspectives -- some more sexually adventurous than others -- and none were treated as better or worse.

Where the show went wrong is in the last season or so when it did become about getting married and having kids, when it was no longer okay to be single, as in they all had to end up in relationships in order to be complete.  I thought that went against everything that made the show interesting.  In the earlier seasons, you had single women who were pretty happy with their single lives.  Relationships with men were interesting, but those women weren't defined by them.

As for a movie without Samantha, it wouldn't have worked.  Whether you liked or hated Samantha, she added  both a levity and an edge to the show that really gave it its kick.  She was essential.  I also think that she was the best actress in the show.

As for tension between them, I don't really care.  It's a show.  I don't need for them to be friends IRL.  I don't know why people are fixated on that.[/quote]

I largely agree with you on your analysis of where the show content went wrong. But there’s another huge component: The show just went nuts with money and materialism in the last few seasons and in the movie. It was no longer potentially obtainable and aspirational. It was Trump-type gaudy, and it ceases to be relatable.

They totally forgot why women originally fell in love with the show. [/quote]
