Carrie’s behavior wasn’t cool either. I mean, none of them are people I’d actually want to be friends with, if they weren’t all fictional characters.

+1 I thought Carrie being unfaithful AF was a VERY well done storyline but it pissed a lot of people A LOT. But I also went through a brief period in a LTR when I couldn’t stop hooking up with my ex, so I could relate.

What irks me about this is how pissed off Miranda and the rest of them were when Steve cheated on her fairly recently. It’s not like the four would have thought that was OK if he cheated with a guy.

They - the main friend group- validate the eff out of one another no matter the behavior. The can rationalize nearly anything amongst themselves and defend like a pack.

This is not always true. I am not a big fan of Charlotte but she did try to call out Carrie when she cheated with Big on Aidan. Of course, Charlotte couched her disgust in "I am about to get married". I agree that the whole cheating storyline in the original SATC was really well done.

Also, the show is really suffering without Samantha. I feel like she would tell Miranda "Oh honey, why are you still married to Steve. Divorce him and then figure yourself out."

Relationships end. People change. This happens to over half of us.

Yes, Miranda should have ended the marriage before she cheated, but a lot of people dip their toe in the water before ending things. Love/lust is a drug--and people do all kinds of crazy stuff when they're hopped up on it. Good people can be pretty mean in real life.

Anyway, Miranda's storyline seems pretty believable to me. Knowing Miranda, she was probably too uptight to experiment much. And now she's changed and is ready to explore a different part of herself.

Even though we thought Carrie was horrible for cheating on Aiden, she hadn't taken vows and we could empathize with her long-standing strong feelings for Big. The bulk of Miranda's SATC arc was about her finding true love with Steve, and because he is such a good guy, it's especially galling to see her blow that up after everything we'd seen them go through together. And for a few orgasms with a crass, constantly baked podcaster? Who thought this storyline would be appealing??

Minus the teenage awkwardness with “Rambo” nn, I like it. It’s better than Carrie overemphasizing everything. The whole series is kind of weak. At least Miranda is getting laid.

Random question - at Big’s funeral, his assistant said there was a lot of paperwork to go through. I thigget there may be money issues etc. Was the issue that he left Bridget Moynihan money or is there more to it?

He’s always been Brady Hobbes.

I always really liked Brady in the series and Eben his brief appearances in the movies. Now he's terrible. Way to ruin a character

She named him Brady Hobbes. Her marrying Steve doesn't mean that he has to have his father's last name.

Cynthia Nixon is too talented an actress to be mired in this hot mess.

+1 to all of this.

It's all so forced, PC, woke, ugh.

Going after someone who is married. Ick. And that it is a friend of a coworker? And thinking they are just too cool for school. Such a gross person. Awful storyline.

It is a gross storyline but I find Miranda to be much worse than Che. Miranda has a husband. If she wants to get divorced, do that. But no. She asks him to do what Che did to her and immediately gets frustrated. And lamely says she in love with Che. Eww. Just all around. Do they want us to hate Miranda?

Lots of disjointed storylines for the other characters.

It’s television. (whispers these are not real people)

You sound so uptight.

Good grief. Yes, we know. Nobody here is delusional. It’s an entertainment forum.

And to PP, yes. Miranda is just as bad, probably worse. She doesn’t sound like parent of the year either.

agree, Miranda has given up on her family (Steve and Brady)

Nothing I have read here makes me want to watch the show.
