‘And Just Like That... ’ Was An Insult To ‘Sex And The City’
HuffPost
The HBO spinoff never tapped into what made the original series so great.
And just like that... it’s all over.
Earlier this month, “And Just Like That... ” showrunner Michael Patrick King announced that HBO Max’s “Sex and the City” reboot was coming to an end after three seasons. The news, while only slightly surprising, was met with mixed reactions from fans, some of whom were sad to say another goodbye to the “SATC” universe, and others (like us) who were happy to see the show finally meet its end.
It’s been quite a journey for “And Just Like That...,” which caught up with our favorite gals, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte (Kristin Davis) as they navigated life and love in their 50s. The revival series was initially received as an exciting return to the “SATC” world, but as the seasons dragged on, it earned more hate from viewers than love.
Much of that has to do with how much “And Just Like That... ” was a far cry from its beloved ’90s predecessor. Between odd storylines, awkward writing and the disastrous portrayal of characters we no longer recognize, the reboot has been one giant mess.
Thankfully, the third and final season, which ended with a two-part finale on Aug. 14, is the last time we’ll ever have to see this poor version of our “SATC” favorites.
