And Just Like That... we are bored and disappointed but not surprised (season 2 ep. 1 & 2 review) 

Che: Omg you and Steve aren't in an open marriage!? Wtf Also Che: I'm still married to my ex, no big deal...

the writing is boring and bad and no matter how glam the style or how good the actors are NOTHING can replace good writing. normally I dont say it, but the creators of this show needs to listen to its critics.

“Out of laziness, we never got a divorce” also describes the writing. So many stories with no nowhere to go except for recycling SATC

This show is still boring. Carries narration in SATC grounds the show into being about her column and herself and her friends exploration of sex and romance. This is just a bunch of people doing stuff. A show about nothing.

I’d love to know where in New York a whole company is dedicated just to making podcasts that rely on products placement to survive

Mr. Big and Samatha carried this series. Without them this series is sinking like the titanic. It's bad.

You're being way too kind about Che. They're still awful, I hope they break up with Miranda and goes away! This show is still so boring.

AJLT is soulless. It has nothing to say about anything, which is the opposite of the original! The original tackled its emotional landscapes with wit -- I still think the abortion episode was one of the most deft explorations of that issue. This sequel series makes you realize that it's easy to have too much of a good thing. We didn't need one more bite of the cake. I couldn't help but wonder: do we get what we deserve?

Miranda attending AA was like... did we miss several episodes that didn't make the cutting room floor here? Surely she did have a drink*ing problem after all? Wtf? Wtf

It’s funny that they can promote not 1, not 2 but 4 actors and they still refuse to give Kim’s demands. I’m sorry and I don’t mean to disrespect anyone but no one can replace the entertainment, the energy and the presence Kim Cattrall provides us fans as Samantha.

You are so right about the 2nd episode, every single thing! And sidenote, you caught that Lily still has that cupcake purse from the 1st Sex and the City movie, in her closet. Miranda and Che have great chemistry? I completely disagree and that moment about body image was cringy because the acting and chemistry between the actors wasn't there. I'm tired of the show forcing this relationship on the viewers. Also I agree that there are too many characters with no time for character development. I do love Lisa Todd Wesley or LTW in general and her "Met Ball" look! It's believable that LTW and Charlotte would be friends.

I don’t know if that only bothers me, but i’m a little shocked about how much the gay characters are so disposable for the girls! There have always been this pattern in the series, but in the fist episode of this season, i got a little sad that all of the girls were ditching Anthony for the Met, and at last, almost not considering him as a human, but only a prop. It’s never approached and it only serves as a comic relief

The problem is che

Miranda and Che is the most unrealistic part in the whole series...no chemistry between the 2 actors

they need to bring back the carrie voice over with her podcast. They need to drop ltw and che as main and make them just recurring characters. they need to bring back the vibes of really living in new york, so much of the show just feels like a set

I honestly think this tv show represents the 90s vs now. 90s tv was lively and fun with great escapism. Now with the modern day reboots everything feels weird and everyone is walking on eggshells and lifeless. This show is worse than the films IMO. Why is it sooooo boring? The original SATC was never boring.

my biggest disappointment is that they made miranda a lesbian. Why must a strong women be a lesbian? And don't get me started with what they did to Steve.

I liked the idea that Che would be shown in a negative light in some way, but it wasnt something they did wrong, it was just that they were upset about their body. I want to see DRAMA from these two. Something interesting. This show is trying to avoid drama lest it portray these characters negatively to the real world.

Totally agree: Episode 1 was decent. Waaay too many characters, it felt like we were bouncing back and forth between 3 different shows (the voiceover would have helped out SO much), but watchable escapism, slow in spots, but decent. 6/10 is about right. Episode 2 was a slog. Seriously, the longest 45 minutes of my life. So boring. LTW and Seema/Juan Jose were the only storylines that held my interest. At least the worst of season 1 was in the "it's so bad, it's a great hate watch" category, but this was banal and boring and a little cringy. Lily's song...where's that "woke moment" button when you need it? 2/10. I'm going to guess the rest of season flucuates between decent escapism and boring bullshit.

Charlotte’s kid’s closet was wallpapered in the same paper as Trey/Charlottes dining room.

Totally agree about new characters. There is a need for diversity on the cast, but it’s too much at one time that they can’t be developed enough for us to invest. I feel anytime there’s a scene without one of the main 3, I’m not that interested. They should’ve started off with maybe Charlottes friend on season 1 moving onto fake Samantha in series 2. Che on season 3. Allow those friendship stories and their storylines to develop.

I know a critique of SATC was it wasn’t diverse. But I genuinely feel that rang true for the lives the characters lived. No way this late in their lives would they have this smorgasbord of different friends or lovers.

I don't know any women in the 50s who are so annoyingly clueless. These smart young women seem to have gone into a vault for 20+ years and come out with no brains. Especially the professional, savvy Miranda!!!!

Kind of tragic this show has gone from - you can be your own person married or single and a baby doesn’t define you…. To our poor flanderised sweetheart Charlotte being just mommy who only lives through her kids.

Wow, Aiden just "gaslit" Carrie this time, just after departing from her beloved long-time studio apartment, to begin a new life with him, he suddenly claims he needs a whole five years to devote all his time to raising his son, without her. Lol

Screenplay is just sooo boring. Problems like "I lost my mobile" or "My daughter sell Chanels dress". Characters have conversations like they dont care, theres no chemistry. Its not cringe anymore, its just boring. Nothing can cover it, even fancy clothes or props.

Sooo boring, I'm the only one who doesn't really care about the new characters?

WOW I JUST REALIZED THAT SEEMA'S DATE IS THE GUY FROM PRADA! LOL The actor isn't playing the same character because that guy from Prada was friends with Carrie, but Carrie doesn't know this character that Seema is dating in AJLT

Che shouldn’t have been upgraded to a series regular. Nothing to do with the character, if they weren’t dating Miranda it’d be different but NONE of the partners have their own storylines and Che shouldn’t be any different. They just take time away from Miranda.

Why is Lily and Rose still sharing a room?🧐

The homage with Hong Kong Garden & the Vivian Westwood dress totally had my jaw on the floor!

This is what felt off THERE ARE TOO MANY MAIN CHARACTERS! I couldn't figure it out

That sima is such a Samantha wannabe it’s not even funny. Or close. She could nevaaaa

I cannot see Miranda's appeal to CHE, seriously! It's not because of Che's binary state but the fact that "their" physical appeal is non-existant. Really!

I couldn’t even finish episode 2, so thanks for the review.

Episode 2 felt more like a filler to move along larger points

What a time saver!! Thanks, hun!!! Same time next week? ❤

When the relationship is over between Miranda and shay, I wonder if Miranda will beg Steve to return or if somehow Miranda and her son end up living together in NY

love all your commentaries, so true!

I have watched a few episodes of glamorous just because of Kim! 😀 It’s nice show to watch for fun, doesn’t really require a huge deal of mental energy or concentration. I don’t know if I only like it because of Kim, but I think it’s watchable.

#JusticeforSteve

It's a parody

The term “My gay best friend” needs to be taken out of the show entirely.

I have been waiting for this video 🙌🏻

I actually like how prudish carrie is in and just like that, i mean is kinda in her pov

I agree!! I didn’t think i’d ever say that but … i actually love Che in this season. She seems like a real person now.

Che is an overgrown Frat-boy, or now Frat-them.

Episode one did nothing for me. It's actually depressing how lacklustre this show is compared to the original. Even seeing 2 second clips reminds you just how fantastic and unique the OG show was. RIP SATC.

OMG Seema's BF is Tony from Prada! I did not recognize him!

Why they opened with everyone getting sex, I hate Che, scenes are rushed and not funny, to many characters, Sima trying to be Samantha, I cantttttt I cantttt why they ruined it, we saw Miranda naked and it’s just not her anymore I’m just so frustrated

Sara Ramirez is too talented for this show. Im still not understanding why she wanted to be on this

Love this recap thank you

Where is the vibe??? 1)Nothing is relatable anymore in this show...we can't relate with anyone, they are all rich and famous for some reason (the Met gala, the clothes, everything is out of reach) 2)We don't see New York anywhere 3) Miranda used to be my favourite character...but now she is LOST ... She moved to LA to live Che's life (just like she said to Carrie about moving to Paris with Petrovsky) 4) Charlotte is a caricature of her old self 5)Seema is an unnecessary character 6) Carrie's voiceovers HAVE to make an urgent come back 7) I'm getting my hopes up for next episodes 🤞🤞🤞

Showing them all having sex is the single most unrealistic thing I've seen on this show. It just doesn't happen with people that age

You should start calling Tony from Prada “Antoine Lambert from Maison Lavaux”!!!!

I liked the first episode There were just a couple of weird writing choices But it was way better than the first season I'll be back after the second

It’s hilarious that some people are trying to say this show is better bc it’s still fkn horrible

Nah it still makes no sense Carrie would be that conservative. As many examples you gave, there could be double of her freely talking about things pertaining to sex. Carrie was always down the middle. A balance between Samantha and Charlotte.

The ugly wedding gown with the cape - when I saw it in a promo, I thought it was a remake of Hocus Pocus. Hideous!

I feel like it would have been so much better if Carrie didn't want to do the commercial because she didn't want to talk about her aging vagina and dryness issues. That would've made more sense and be more relatable.

That tidbit right at the end *omg* gitl I *LIVE* for the petty hahaha I'll always love Kim Cattrall.

I think charlotte is the KOURTNEY of the series she’s all About her kids

I think we can just regard this show as a lookbook. If we need good stories, look elsewhere.

Not wanting to be peed on makes you prude? Lol that was the ONE time I actually agreed with Carrie 😂

I loved the original show, it was exciting. Great writing. I loved the characters. This is not a show ,to look forward to. The writing is abismal , too many characters, the original characters have been oblitorated.this show has no life to it. Not even NYC is made to look exciting.

Waiting for Steve...

Love these recaps! Can't wait for the next one. Can't say I'm watching the show, though.

I never saw Carrie as a prude at all, so I was also a little puzzled by the failure to say a "certain word" on the radio. I thought maybe the reason was because ads are a necessary evil and maybe she didn't agree with selling douche. A lot of gynecologists' will tell women to just use a tiny bit of vinegar with a lot of water and to avoid perfume altogether. However Carrie doesn't say that, or the male writers don't say that. Anyway I love the show and this is a very good review. Thank you.

Every character they added in for all of these additional storylines is poc and/or lbgtq. So it got crowded. They wanted to make up for just having white women and men and now theres just too many people because they keep the people who have left a character by still talking about them. They either killed off, separated, or moved for work 4 white people. I got very tired of carrie talking about her dead husband every chance she got.

All your remarks are on point I thought the exact same thing about these two episodes…yes, two winkles at interesting moments: the mother in law and Che becoming vulnerable and with a secret past… But that didn’t go anywhere else… And yes! 😂 I thought the exact same thing: “Prada guy” -who I thought was one of the best prospects for Charlotte back then…and..that guy from Dawsons Creek! 😂😂😂😂 hilarious all the nonsenses and ironies…

SATC was story driven with the sex more implied and very sexy. Season 2 - no stories, it’s just blatant sex. I’m no prude but I am scarred.

I just hate che

Who on Earth BUYS Final Draft to re-write a simple podcast 30 second ad?

I'm going to say it, Carrie's original Met gala dress was bland. The cape looked good though. I'm glad she wore her wedding dress.

Miranda and Che have zero chemistry 😂

love you critics... love you that you mention the old Miranda, and It was my only moment of a laugh!,,,hahaha

Everything is fantasy and woke today.

jeez thank you for giving a reasonable read on Che's character, (even if i don't necessarily like them more after these two episodes) but i feel like a lot of other reviewers of this show on youtube just be lowkey transphobic when they wanna criticise them, so thanks!

I loved your video, but I just don't see the appeal of the first Episode tbh. However I do agree that at least Che starts to have more personality (even tho I don't like any of their traits lol) But I'm curious to know your thoughts on Episode 3 because I actually liked that one (at least in comparision to every othe one).

I AM A HUGE SATC FAN BUT IT IS A SHOW ABOUT NOTHING!!! I'm honesstly really sad about it, THEY DID NOT GIVE US ENOUGH TIME TO TAKE IN CARRIE'S DRESS MOMENT! WHY DID THEY DO MIRANDA LIKE THAT

They managed to give such main characters to the women of color that Charlotte actually fell into a secondary character… But they fulfilled that deep worry of being incisive…wait! I’m mad! There’s no red hair person!!!!😡 Wait! -Miranda could be that… no! Cultural appropriation!!! 😂😂😂😂

Why is this video sooooo dark?

Oh and the miranda, finger me moment with steve, what the hell was that!

I actually liked Che so far. Big improvement over last season, and the Tony DAnza bit was pretty funny. I liked how excited he got over getting everyone's prounouns correctly. MIranda feels like she's going through a mid life crisis or something. Its still very awkward to watch her act like a 15 year old in their first relationship or something. And I'm kind of mad we didn't get to see the big reunion between Miranda and Che when Miranda showed up unannounced at their work. I fell like ltw is going to be a big storyline this season. Seema almost had nothing to do, which disappointed me.

Seyma's MET styling? Why?

Really enjoyed this analysis and shoutout fellow vegan here 🎉🌱💚💯🙌👏🏻💐I watched a couple of eps of Glamorous and really loved seeing the lovely K. Have you seen her series “Sensitive Skin” which is so good 💯? However the wokeness (and bearing in mind the wokeness overload in UK) 🇬🇧 I just couldn’t put myself through it. When my nausea subsides I will probably return for KC and fashion. Brightest blessings to you 💚💚🙄😬🤩

It’s not just Che…. It’s how immature, needy and neurotic Miranda’s character is in these episodes…. She’s nerve racking ……I have other critiques of this season 2 series, but will refrain for fear of You Tube busting me for such scathing review….and FYI, absolutely loved the original Sex in the C!………..more later

It’s like dynasty (81 of course) but nothing happens. No amnesia no evil twins and definitely no alexes. I find myself flicking through my phone when it’s on. Not a good sign.

I'm so glad you mentioned Glamorous! I'm on episode 4 and I love it. It's everything the Sex and the City reboot should have been.

hanna gatsby should be writing che's jokes

I'm kind of sick of watching these extremely succesful women having succesful love/sex lives. The old sex & the city was actually a little bit more realistic and had more real drama.

I’m still watching bc I grew up with these girls and love them. “And Just like that,” the writers are ruining the characters. (Still love Carrie Bradshaw). And I was head over heels for Lisa Wexley’s met gala look. Amazing! One character I can’t stand…is rock. Boy…girl…don’t care. Rock is a freaking brat.

The first two episodes was crazy boring 😴hopefully it improves

Unique bond lmaoo you're crazy.

#TeamTonyDanza coming back.

They don't even understand their own characters.

Too many characters, difficult not to mix them up. What are they all trying to say ?

SO disappointed in the writing of season 2. Now on episode 4 I hope it gets better.

I agree. Way too many characters in this show.

First : who is this show about , sex n the city was about this 4 girls n just like that should be about the 3 girl (without Samatha) , first of all m irritated to see that Seema character trying to become the new Samantha. N all these decades the show was about womanhood and fashion suddenly it’s become a “woke / political “ n all that crap . Why do they have to force all that wokeness into the show. We had non binary characters before in the show , Carries gay friend and charlotte gay friends who got married and it was fun , it was lovely to see both the gay characters their style their dialogues , it was a blast show , it was real raw with all kinds characters. But now it feels like a politically, well measured wokeness written script trying to impress extreme leftist. Also they forgot their audiences , their audiences are from 90s , n we want to see in real world how people from 90s are now or feel now , I am in my 30s , I want to feel connected to other wonderful women in 30s through this show , I want to see them who will be in I guess their 60 living life so I get an inspiration. But unfortunately I feel they are targeting a different kind of audience and do not care anything at all about their old audience
