Party of One

I never write reviews, but I was so disappointed with this season and this ending. Then I googled to see if the show would have a season 4 and realized this is it. It was a terrible way to end it. The plot was thin and Carrie just ends up with the short end of the stick again. Why even have the storyline with the writer if nothing ever comes of it, and it ultimately destroyed what she had with Aiden.

...but with a whimper do we bid the Sex and the City franchise good-bye. All the characters end up in a happy place with their partners except for Carrie who realizes she is not alone but on her own. There were so many things the writers got wrong from the very start of AJLT but can never be forgiven for not only killing off Big but having Carrie declare Big was a BIG mistake. That one statement negated the original storyline of SATC and set this current series up for major criticism. There was a lot they got wrong but at least they knew it was time to wave the white flag.

There's literally no plot, none whatsoever, and the characters are terribly written. Brady, who's always so neat and composed, suddenly ends up surrounded by a bunch of weirdos who clearly don't belong in his social circle.

They completely ruined the Aidan storyline.

The editing feels like someone just ripped pages out of a book and threw them together. Honestly, this is pure nonsense and downright embarrassing.

If they wanted to win the award for worst series finale like Game of Thrones, well, congratulations, you got it.

The last episode was a total lack of respect for the people. Yesterday I was just laughing at what a terrible piece of crap it was. Filled with plot holes, serious flaws in the writing, characters who were (and still are despite everything) beloved, like Carrie, Aidan, Miranda, Steve, Big, Stanford, and Samantha, were almost completely destroyed, poorly written, stripped of their essence. They deserved more love.

It's as if the writers had a hatred for them and said, "Let's destroy the characters people love". From Carrie and Aidan's surprising breakup (where the episode's writers said so many stupid things to justify it) to the appearance of insane characters like Che and Duncan. And pointless and forced characters like Braidy's girlfriend's friends in the finale.

The truth is, the last five episodes were a total and complete disaster. The supposed closure was a total lack of respect. Honestly, as a viewer, I feel cheated and betrayed. And I only watched it for Carrie, Aidan, Charlotte, Harry, and Seema, the only new character I actually liked. Well... I'll just keep the best and pretend Carrie and Aidan had their happy ending. And that at least they ended up having a good and fond memory of Big. (A character who, although I never liked, seemed tremendously unfair to me that it was as if he didn't exist.) The problem wasn't the characters, the problem was the writers, who forgot how to write real adult character development.

Thanks to all the actors. I know many were frustrated with what they did to their characters.

John and Sarah, thank you for trying to give Carrie and Aidan a happy ending. I was happy while their reunion lasted. And you and they'll always be in my heart.🖤 I'll pretend their had a happy ending.

I'll just stick with SATC, the movies, and the first two seasons of AJLT, with a few good moments from the third season. Although the entire last season is forgettable.

I'll feign dementia and pretend this disaster never happened.💔

I love you all and you'll always be in my heart.❤

I love this show I never want it to end. As flawed as AJLT is, the girls are fabulous and I want more of this. This finale, however is a disgrace and an assault to all who love the show. Unnecessary scenes with characters we barely know and disgusting pile of ... in our face. I hope it comes back but without MPK.
