Anyone watching the SATC reboot? Major spoiler inside...

Just watched the documentary they released today. Seems like they had such high hopes and such a great love for these characters. Too bad this season didn't quite live up to the original series. Maybe a second season can turn things around.
 
Surprisingly, I liked the last episode. I still cannot wrap my head around Miranda's storyline, though. In the second movie, she quit her job and seemed to be moving towards a better work-life balance, so her being so unhappy with her job/life at the beginning of this show didn't make sense to me. Sure, things change, but they never really explained why.

Her argument with Carrie in the bathroom was exactly like their argument in the final season about Carrie going to Paris, except in reverse, and Carrie was waaaaay less judgmental. Remember when she snarkily said "What are you going to do in Paris all day, eat croissant?" Also, I haven't forgotten when Samantha dated Maria and Miranda called her the "lesbian du jour."

I think they glossed over the divorce too much, and not bringing up Miranda's hypocrisy with Steve cheating was a misfire. I really that during Carrie and Big's affair in the original show, they never tried to portray her in a good light. She was wrong for doing it, and Natasha got to call her out when Carrie kept trying to apologize. I always appreciated that. AJLT only gave us sad sack Steve talking to Carrie.

I couldn't have stated my opinion better. I share your thoughts.

Agree 100%.

I watched the companion documentary and it looked like Cynthia Nixon was calling all the shots for Miranda this time around. She rejected the original storyline of Miranda hooking up with Nya because "it wasn't sexy enough" because Nya was straight and not butch- her words not mine. Seems like Nixon wanted to turn Miranda literally into Cynthia Nixon as many of us said earlier in this thread. All the way down to leaving her husband- with whom she had kids- for a very butch woman.

Throughout the documentary they talked about everything you see on SATC actually happened to someone in the production in real life.
 
A lot of that episode was painful for me 😝. WTH was that turban on Nicole Ari Parker’s head for starters 🤣😂. Sourdough Challah?
And stuff just seemed to drag on to me. Like what the heck was that oh so boring quick scene in the repair shop? “Is that a common problem with older lamps?” “That’s very strange”. “It is, isn’t it?” Pulling teeth 😡. And were they just trying to tackle every subject? (Trans rabbi 🤷🏻‍♀️). Just seemed like overkill.

I think some stuff seems choppy and weird because they had to edit out Big. There was supposed to be a "haunting" by Big, but they cut it all out once the scandal hit. As a result some scenes don't really make sense. She may have had a flashback or asked about spirits or something but they cut it out.
 
Bye, Miranda. :wave2: I’ve never wanted a fake pilot to be more of a success than I do at this moment. Stay in LA for as long as you like.

Hot producer … yes please! Happy to see where this goes.

Anthony needs more screen time. He steals every scene he’s in, and in the best way. Talking to Rock, loved it. The hot boys all being cut, omg hilarious one liner.

Let’s get to know Seema and LTW more in season 2. The professor storyline can fade away with Miranda no longer in her class.


A much better singer than comedian.

It wouldn’t take much.:scared:

All of this please!! :cool1:
 
The actor playing Che did win a Tony award, so glad they let her show that off. I was a bit too little too late to try and get the audience to like the character.
