Party of One

...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.

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.

As soon as they told us that this season was going to be the last one, I knew that nothing would be wrapped up. It feels like the whole season was a waste. If they knew from the very beginning that this was going to be it, Why did they make the choices that they made?! Comparing it to the finale of Sex and the City -. I can't even believe that's the same Were involved. That show wrapped up so nicely and this was just meh. I don't know if they intend to have a movie or if this really is it.

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 really wanted to love this show, but it really could have just been an email. We could have let it end in the early 2000s and never circled back to a reboot. Such a disappointment. Season one was pretty awful and season two felt incrementally "better." Nevertheless, there are so many storylines that started and were left in the dust.
