Miranda is a different person in this show. I don’t think the character would be okay with hearing her child have sex on the other side of the wall. It’s more Cynthia Nixon now than Miranda.

To be sure, most people aren’t into listening to their relatives or friends banging loudly like that, and certainly not all the time like Miranda’s son and his gf. If Steve and Miranda were doing it like that every day, I’m sure Brady and gf would be packing their bags.

Parents barely / rarely tolerate kids turning up music in the house. Miranda may be living a little too much vicariously through Brady’s sex life.

Uhhhh I hear my DS and his live in boyfriend all the time. But they have nowhere else to go bc they are saving for a home.

But they are adults right? And do they pay you rent?

Why would she want them to pay rent? It would take longer to save for a house and they would be there longer.

Okay? I think you're not the target audience. There are a lot of othere shows -- and other threads -- though. Maybe you could go over there?

I guess it did make the scene kind of funny, though, along with the “this is awkward!” music. I thought the kitchen scene itself was very hot. (And wrong, messed up, troubling… but still hot!)

Was thinking the same thing! Why couldn't she just wait a few before trying to get out of bed? Only explanation is that Carrie is so self centered and what she wants to do, everyone else has to follow immediately.

If that were the case, she would have called out to Miranda and interrupted her hook-up with Che. She would not have quietly scooted herself to the edge of the bed and peed in an empty Snapple bottle.

The hate watching here is unhinged.

Babe, she was on opioids. Yes, she only took one (apparently that was half the dose) but as a New Poster who has also had surgery and painkillers afterward, it ain’t pretty, and you aren’t in control. Pray that you never have the experience.

It was so gross, so undignified, and how about she lost her shit when Steve cheated on her, but now suddenly being unfaithful is a-frickin’-OK. Gross.

I thought it was very real but, yes, selfish and undignified. I wish there was stronger dialogue about how profound unhappiness can turn you into a version of yourself you don't recognize. But Che is obnoxious and very one-dimensional compared to the other new characters. Hope they and the podcast make a quick exit sooner rather than later. More Seema, please!

totally agree

To be fair, Carrie was pretty deeply asleep. It was a bit trashy, but if it hadn’t been a studio apartment it might have played differently. That said, I’d prob not make the same choice. The past her shelf life comment is so ridiculously ageist, women do contain to be sexual long after the grays - get comfortable with at least that part.

I guess you guys have never had surgery. Between being filled with Iv fluids and taking strong pain meds, there’s no “holding it.”
