Season 1: In the 90s, Sex and the City had to shock a lot of people with its openness and presentation of taboo topics. But in 2022, And Just Like That also shocked me in a certain way with its approach. This series, in my opinion, is a historic milestone and a symbol of the beginning of neo-socialist realism, paying tribute to political hyper-correctness simply because it is trendy and challenges unpopular opinions. Essentially, it addresses breaking down white stereotypes, gender fluidity and how mothers of teenagers who deal with it cope with it. It also involves the forceful promotion of non-binary individuals, experimentation with sexuality in old age, the challenges of aging itself, and of course, ethnic diversity and cultural pluralism. It would be a long debate about all the topics this series opens up. What's worse is that it doesn't close any of them. Many storylines fizzle out (e.g. Steve, Miranda's alcoholism, infertility) and everything sort of pretends to be something it's not. The original series' theme of friendship and camaraderie is absolutely disappearing here. Even the first episode cut the branch under me by tarnishing Samantha's absence in quite a vile way, and there was a real cause behind the scenes of local relationships. I don't know, on the one hand, it was terribly current, modern, fashionable, and trendy, to the point where I was actually repelled by it and wondered if I am even the target age group. It was visually appealing, but it lacked any cohesion and was just a display of the problems of today's world. A slap in the face.

And Just Like That... we find ourselves with more Sex and the City stories. After the first episodes, some viewers' eyes nearly fell out, but soon this season also became a classic gossip format on relationships and sex. Life goes on, and if you are fifty, even then it doesn't mean you should stop living. I consider the storyline dedicated to Miranda's transformation to be the best written because it made me feel as good as I did during the new seasons of The L Word: Gen Q. This show has always broken boundaries and continues to do so years later.
