Last week was a huge moment for fans of *Sex and the City* when Michael Patrick King announced that his revival series, *And Just Like That…*, would wrap up after three seasons. Can you believe it? 🎭 While some viewers have voiced their grievances about the show, the news still hit hard. Even die-hard critics found themselves feeling a bit emotional. Who else felt that wave of nostalgia? 😢
The Mixed Bag of Emotions
It’s wild, right? The series has definitely had its ups and downs—some called it inconsistent, while others flat-out labeled it “bad.” But here’s the thing: whether you love it or hate it, there’s something about Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte that sticks with us. Just check out this viral tweet: “Do I hate-watch this every single week? Yes. Am I absolutely devastated it’s been canceled? Also yes.” That pretty much sums up the vibe! 🤷♀️
Now, the end of *And Just Like That…* doesn’t just mean saying goodbye to a series; it feels like we’re also bidding farewell to Carrie Bradshaw—at least until we get that hypothetical revival set in a nursing home 20 years down the line! 😂 But let’s be real—Carrie has left a mark on pop culture like few characters ever have. From her iconic Manolo Blahniks to her relentless pursuit of love, she’s a character we can’t quite shake off. Sarah Jessica Parker herself expressed how much Carrie has meant to her, saying, “Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years.” That’s some serious love! 💖
A Complicated Ending
Remember how the original *Sex and the City* ended? Carrie moved to Paris with Alexander the Russian, which led to a whirlwind of emotions. In the end, it was Mr. Big who swooped in to rescue her, but let’s be honest: it wasn’t the perfect fairy tale we might have wanted. The series even shot three alternate endings! Can you imagine a different reality where Carrie didn’t end up with Big? 🤔
Some fans were left feeling that this wasn’t quite the resolution that a character like Carrie deserved. After all, she spent so much time exploring her own independence and the complexities of relationships. So, when she ended up with a problematic man after all that growth, many felt it didn’t do justice to her character. What do you think? Did Carrie deserve a better ending? 🌈
What’s Next for Carrie?
Now, as *And Just Like That…* approaches its finale, it seems like the creators might be taking a different approach. The first part of the finale has Carrie grappling with the idea of being single again. What’s this? Is there a chance they’re hinting at a more authentic ending? She even mentions how her publisher thinks the idea of a woman ending up alone is tragic. “I like the ending,” she says. “I find it honest.” I’m feeling those vibes! 🙌
But plot twist: there’s also a handsome Brit in the mix! Will Carrie choose love again, or will she embrace the power of being single? Honestly, I hope they don’t just throw her into a relationship for the sake of it. Wouldn’t a fulfilled Carrie in her sixties, surrounded by her friends, be a much more powerful statement? Or am I just dreaming? 🦄
As we gear up for the finale, what do you want to see happen? A strong, independent Carrie living her best life? Or are you rooting for her to find love again? Let’s chat about it! 💬💖 #AndJustLikeThat #CarrieBradshaw
