‘And Just Like That…’ Is Highlighting How Carrie Bradshaw Has Always Been a Prude
If And Just Like That… has one and maybe only one megafan out thereâI’m positive it’s me. I love the show because it so clearly hates itself, and also us for watching. It refuses to do any amount of research in order to ensure it’s keeping its own mythology straight. (Case in point, Charlotte references over 25 years of friendship with Miranda in the latest episode, despite the show’s own lore that they met around 1989, 34 years ago. I guarantee you everyone just shrugged and figured we wouldn’t flag it.) The way it forces Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) on us, how it keeps bringing back characters no one remembers as if we were clamoring for them (I see you Bitsy!) I could go on and on. It’s not so bad it’s good; it’s so bad that it evokes such strong reactions from everyone, it feels like performance art. I want a new episode every day, what can I say?!
Part of the joy of watching And Just Like That… is watching the show light fire to its own history. However, it has gotten one thing right: Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) has always been a prude when it comes to sex, and the notable absence of Samantha from the reboot is highlighting it front and center.
