I think the producers and writers are treating this show as a cash how. I can see how they were all “having a blast writing storylines for the beloved characters,” but boy could they have aimed higher…
My cringeworthy/hair pulling moments (I know some of these were mentioned above):
1. Carrie hosting Miranda and making a big deal about a yogurt and a banana… huh? Miranda always apologizing to Carrie… and frankly everybody…
2. Seema does not have $$$ after being an equity holder at a successful NY RE agency and selling RE for years…?
3. Some scenes are out of context and feel like they’ve been written solely for some punchline…
They should have instead explored:
>Retirement planning (investing, second homes, thoughts on relocating, importance of financial independence)
>Carrie/Lizette (is Carrie’s dating experience still relevant? How have norms changed?)
>staying fit and healthy
>managing parent care
>and fun, Carrie’s house decorating (trends vs making it her own)
>plastic surgery /aging naturally
>NYC vs London /Paris (it’s good to come home)
>running into old bfs (Trey with four kids, Petrovsky with a new “muse”, Steve becoming buff mount climbing instructor and dating…)
Plastic surgery was briefly explored with carrie, wasn’t it? Same with second homes (when Carrie bailed on going in with Seema).
Agree story lines are just thrown in and then they dip out without further discussion. Harry’s dad, the neighborhood ask app, Carrie’s driver’s license, college app prep for the teens, etc.
Seems would not only have money, but
In the white jumpsuit before the party, Carrie had flats on. Thought she never wore flats.
We hear bits of Carrie’s novel…no legit author is telling her it is amazing. It is not.
Breadshop’s boyfriend’s mom would not be so rude. Carrie wouldn’t have planned to meet her without first - on her own - telling Anthony. His acting when he realized he was actually meeting the mom for the first time was horrible.
It’s a mess and I am mad at myself That I am wasting time on it. I’d have more respect for the writers if they let interns write it for the exposure and experience. At least then, something good would come out of it.
