Sorry if this has been discussed, but I hate how Carrie refused to see that Miranda has a drinking problem until now. She’s a terrible friend.

It’s not like Miranda’s been falling down drunk on a regular basis. I know some who regularly over imbibe a bit (imo) but always seem to stay on this side of the line. And although day drinking is a red flag, it hadn’t been clear cut.

She gets wakened from her hap by the Miranda/Che shanigans in the kitchen, and is understandably mortified. If I were her, I would want to hide under my covers with my fingers over my ears! But instead, she just HAS TO PEE RIGHT THIS SECOND OMG SHE CAN’T EVEN HOLD IT FOR TWO MINUTES…. What is that?? Is it supposed to be a side effect of her painkillers? My husband has had two quite serious back surgeries with all kinds of heavy opiods, and this peeing issue was … not a thing.

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.

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?

The target audience is NOT “woke” millennials. They THINK they’re going to get them to watch with this nonsense, but no way.

The target audience are the original viewers. And we just want to see what happens to these people. The end. None of this ridiculous writing.

Why do you think this is the only thing that defines the target audience?

Because this show is old. And it had a cult following. No one new is tuning in.

My co-workers in their 20s and 30s are watching. Kim Kardashian is watching. It has been the biggest view audience of a series debut in HBOMax's entire history, and the viewership went up by more than an additional 50% for the second show. That's not all people that look like you and think like you. There just aren't that many of you.

It will be interesting to see where this goes in Nielsen demographics. I'll update the thread when I see it.

Meanwhile, you are (of course) entitled to your opinion. I'd encourage you to consider that there is a lot of the world going on that apparently you don't see or don't understand, but it's still there. Maybe it would be interesting to just let it be and not necessarily try to shut it down.

Well, if Kim Kardashian is watching, you know it must be good.

No, you know it is being watched. "No one new is tuning in" was the error.
