A bunch of women take a post-power lunch walk, three abreast, along a narrow New York pavement. In 2021 they would be called footpath-hogging Karens and cancelled with a TikTok clip. But to anyone old enough to remember when TV was not served on demand, it’s the very familiar conversational stroll of Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte.
For 94 half-hour episodes broadcast between 1998 and 2004, and two films released in 2008 and 2010, these women set a high bar of humour, style and then-contemporary storytelling. Star wrote the pilot, but screenwriter Michael Patrick King gave it it’s voice, along with writers such as Cindy Chupack and Jenny Bicks. The script’s tonal notes were bold and unapologetic.
But it’s also clunky. An over-talked explanation for Samantha’s absence is an early choke. Equally, the signposting of the changing times. “We can’t just stay who we were, right?” asks Miranda, as the three have lunch. Cue one of the new rotating fourth wheels Lisa Todd Wexley , documentarian and humanitarian, to join them for a single French fry.
