The revival seems to have forgotten what fans loved about the original series
, that I can’t stop thinking about. In the fourth episode, Carrie Bradshaw and longtime bestie Miranda Hobbes are at Che Diaz’s apartment. In case you missed the collective hoopla from last season, Che—a bisexual, nonbinary comedian who befriended Carrie when the pair were on a podcast together—is in a relationship with Miranda, who has ditched her fan-favorite husband, Steve.
To me, this moment sums up a problem with the revival series: The show has lost the cynicism that helped make’s legacy. After all, the original series ended like a rom-com: Carrie was whisked off her feet in Paris by the love of her life, Mr Big. Charlottegot her baby. Samantha was cancer-free and coupled-up with a movie star. Miranda got married to Steve.—a now-yearly ritual that is part pleasure, part preemptive trauma response—I realized that, particularly in the earlier seasons,cynical show.
Then there was Miranda, the hotshot corporate lawyer who was always there to bring someone like Charlotte back down to earth. In season six, when Charlotte debuted her theory that “everything happens for a reason,” Miranda’s response was: “That’s total bullshit.” She was similarly disapproving when Charlotte gave up her career as a gallery director to focus on starting a family with her ex-husband Trey.
I found another scene, this one from the fifth episode, similarly at odds with the Miranda I know. Having gotten up at 5:00 a.m. to wake up her son, Brady—now a work-shy and dramatic Gen Z stereotype—we find Miranda in the kitchen manically carving a pumpkin, because “Halloween spirit” is suddenly important to her.
