The only good thing about the show if you want to spare 45 min of your day is cool outfits. The three main characters all of whom are in 50s in 2020s talk like they're still in their 30s in the 90s. They don't talk like real women do at all
When SATC was airing in 30-min time slots twenty+ years ago, the dialogues fit the times and they were sharper.
Michael Patrick King needs to retire. He, as a developer, producer, writer, AND director of the series, clearly has too much control of the narrative and writing, not to mention the rest. He's making all the women characters and other straight characters talk like young, single, pretentious gay men in their youth. Maybe that's how he and his circle talk, still today, even if the man is in his sixties.
I'm a straight woman who has many male gay friends. The way the dialogues go, remind me so much of young gay men's chats. That in itself is fine, the problem is MPK is turning the original SATC characters, that are not gay men, into himself or people like him. Egoism at its worst.
I feel sad that the actresses continue to sign up and act in these series. Are they totally blind to how there's no substance to their characters or storylines anymore, or are they doing it for the hype or the money?
Kim Cattrall was certainly smart to distance herself from these installments and keep her retuning appearance in this season to very minimum.
It's a totally lost show dragged on by a clearly very self-absorbed person that's perpetually projecting himself in the creative process that should never be so indulgent, supported by equally self-absorbed cast.
So. Very. Sad.
