[quote=Anonymous]I think the problem is that SATC was criticised for being too white/straight, so they tried to remedy it by bringing in more diverse characters. Then they are criticised because the diverse characters either don’t fit into the story or aren’t in the story enough. But it’s difficult for the creators because SATC was originally about the 4 women and then any men that they were in relationships with were the secondary characters. There weren’t really any friendships outside the core group except for Stanford. It is perfectly realistic for each of the women to have other close friends based on their lives - Charlotte and Lisa, Miranda and Nya, Carrie and Seema (I don’t really get Carrie and Che but whatever) but the friends all together haven’t really formed a cohesive group. And then there are too many of them to really develop stories. If you think about the original SATC, each episode focused on one or two of the characters and something happening in their lives. If there are now 3 main characters and 5 additional very important characters (Lisa, Nya, Che, Seema, Anthony) plus various husbands/boyfriends/kids (Aiden, Harry, Steve, Lily, Rock, Brady) we now have 14 main characters to build stories around.. and it’s too many and we don’t feel like any of them are being properly developed.
