And how is it possible that Carrie keeps discarding all these good-looking, successful available older men? I know this show is a fantasy but this is easily the most unrealistic aspect.

Man, if that bike mishap happened to me my storyline would be I’d get sued. Guaranteed.



It's only been a year since she lost the man she viewed as the love of her life. I don't think there's anything strange about her not really being ready, but the writing should be more nuanced then.

I hate this couple and I'm not interested in them at all. I also think it's so sad and shallow that Miranda just jumped headlong into a serious relationship (moving across the country) with no time to process the end of her 20+ year partnership with the father of her child. And the show just treats like it is fine and hysterical and look at her try a strap on.

I get that the show wanted to bring in more representation, but they should have introduced another couple.


I have a friend with almost this exact storyline in real life, except she is a few years younger than Miranda. It seemed unbelievable when it was happening to her, but it really did and so I don’t find the Miranda story implausible at all


I don’t find it implausible at all. What I find strange is that they are making the audience not like Miranda and it does make her friendships with the other characters seem shallow. That was the core of the show.

Just because something is plausible doesn’t mean people want to watch a show about it.


Isn’t Miranda the producer?? I am sure she is largely responsible for the direction of her character. She seemed completely unlikable in the separate behind the scenes “documentary” that’s also on Max.

Yup Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis are both producers of this show. SJP is as well and was a producer on SATC starting around Season 3.

Yeah she knows her partner's exhausted but gets high and games with her 'bros' until all hours of the night? And commits to a fancy apartment without a secure source of income? No freaking way the original Miranda would have put up with that. Remember how she reacted to Steve's relative immaturity back in the day? It's such BS!



I could see the difference being that she wasn't madly infatuated with Steve in the same way, their relationship was much more of a slow burn. But the show should at least acknowledge this point, otherwise it just seems Miranda's character is being decimated for no good reason.

"They" sorry! They are clearly not in love with Miranda anyway, just enjoying the adoration and the sex. Zero effort to compromise on the different schedules and pure indifference when Miranda said she needed to room elsewhere for her well-being. I don't think Sara Rodriguez is given much to work with in terms of the writing, but it is so painful to watch!!

Just when Carrie's putting herself out there again, they're going to bring Aiden back? Pfft.

Imo the slow is finally finding its footing. It's best when focusing on dating mishaps. I mostly enjoyed the ep, though don't believe Carrie wouldn't give the hunky Peter Hermann character another chance given the specific circumstances (maybe just bad writing). Please let this be the end for Miranda and Che. Her OG dating mishaps were often very entertaining. Being Naya's roommate also has potential.

They got married in the courthouse at the end of the same movie when he stood her up at the wedding.

This is correct and I don’t blame you for falling asleep during the way-too-long first movie and missing that.

Yeah - she sold the one she shared with Big after he died. Then she bought another super expensive one, but decided she hated it, and sold that one, too. Then she moved back into this place - which I guess she'd been holding onto all these years? (Can't remember if they said how/why, other than money is magic in the SATC world.)

Am I the only one who's actually enjoying this season, (many) flaws and all?


Maybe it is a thing for New York City people? I ask as a naive resident of MD my whole life. One of the characters on Run the World also kept her apartment, supposedly because of the locked in low rent. She is, of course, single again and back in it.
