I've hated the Charlotte clothes this series.
Loved the show though. It's not realistic and people get up in arms about it. Sit back and enjoy the ridiculousness and the fashion!

I didn’t even realize it was a finale. It was indeed bad. Boring, awkward, and I do not care for the bizarre fashion choices.

I actually loved everything Carrie wore in this episode – which NEVER happens – until the orange dress. But WTAF was Charlotte wearing for the bat mitzvah? That looked like a 1988 Nebraska prom dress and it didn’t even fit her.

I agree

Agree. What the show is doing with Samantha and the texting feels like cheating but I still love it, goddammit. If SJP could only be nice in real life we wouldn’t have this problem.

I did find the parallels of Carrie leaving her job for Paris in the original & Miranda leaving the internship for a relationship in LA a nice touch.

That was beautifully done.

Whoops the callback to the funeral scene with Miranda telling Carrie not to go was beautifully done. Also hard agree on Miranda being an ahole about the afterlife stuff. But she looked gorgeous at the end.

I concur. During her call in radio hour (ahem, podcast), her response to caller's question was "ugh ... I don't know ... *sighs dramatically*," and her producer had the audacity to tell her, "wow, great job, you'll be a hit!"

Agree! This made me mad too. I am an atheist but I can’t imagine talking to my friends this way. At any time, really, but especially when she’s talking about her dead husband. What an awful person. Did they mean to make Miranda so unlikeable? Because she is! I could not care less what happens to her.


Completely agree. It was so awful. I can’t imagine saying that kind of stuff to someone I really dislike, nevermind my bestest friend. So effing what if she wants to imagine Big puffing away on a cigar on a cloud? As an atheist, it makes me happy and wistfully envious of my friends who are able to find comfort that way. Miranda sucks so hard this season.

This reboot sounds like a disaster, glad I decided to skip it. It also make me look at the original series in a different light if this is the fate of the characters.

"This season may be ending, but we’re not done yet. And Just Like That…The Documentary premieres Feb 3, only on HBO Max." Ugh.

It's almost as if SJP took all the "Carrie is the worst friend; she's so entitled and selfish" criticism directly to heart over the years, and agreed to do this reboot if and only if the writers made Miranda the worst of the bunch. Well, mission accomplished.

Good points. Sloppy writing.
