I’ve always asked the question, “Be honest. Would your really want to be friends with Carrie Bradshaw?”
No one has ever told me yes. I would follow up with “Then why would I want to treat what she does and gold or even care about her?”
I saw maybe two episodes and found better things to do.
I didn’t watch it, but it was originally a woman author’s creation. It was a fantasy that some people could buy into and enjoy and others avoided like the plague.
Naah. I never done it in the dark. I want to see what’s happening.
There was a show called “Gilmore Girls” that I was told I “I had to watch” by an old girlfriend. It featured women exchanging “clever” banter at about 120 words per minute. Jaw-droppingly painful for me, but apparently very popular with some others.
My wife and I watched it the other night. We used to be “fans” of the old one—we used to watch it and make fun of them.
This time around it is so tedious its almost unwatchable. They really think their audience is “stupid.”
Here are a couple of takeways:
1. They act like this is the first person they’ve ever known who has died. By the time you reach your 50’s there are sad deaths. And the death of a spouse is horrible. But to fall apart as these women did is just not credible.
2. The Miranda being a silly woke white woman, is just silly. I remember when Miranda dated the Blair Underwood character in the original show. I would image she got her share of “black culture” issues back then. I know she is a drunk now—maybe that is why they forgot it.
3. The “need” these people felt to go to a friend’s kid’s piano recital is not anything I’ve seen anyone do in my life. Most people find something else to do on recital day—as soon as the date is known. A grandkid? Maybe. But not my friend’s kids. My “Friends” would not subject anyone to that.
The dialog is just stupid. Their social climbing crap would be done by their age. And the hard core podcaster saying you need to up your “sex game” is simply not going to be applicable to someone who wrote “THE” sex column in a NYC paper—she would be like having Dr Ruth on.
The stereotypes for the gays is a little uncomfortable for these days. Not all gay guys are bitchy little queens. Their portrayal is tedious.
Fortunately, all the women are presented as being their age in terms of wrinkles, lousy hair, and their bodies. So at least that is cool.
I was a fan of SJP in LA Story (with Steve Martin, amazingly under appreciated movie).
Other than that, meh...
Thats like saying: “Here’s everything wrong with the latest bowel movement compared to the original dump...”
Idiotic trash is idiotic trash!
LOL!
Back when that show first aired, I had a coworker whose daughter lived and worked in Manhattan. She said she had mentioned the show to her daughter, and asked if people in NYC really lived like that...her daughter replied that she didn’t know anybody in her circle that lived like those four characters.
