Why The World Can't Quit Carrie

It’s been the most divisive comeback on TV. But, as viewers keep tuning in to And Just Like That…, is it time to accept that Carrie and co are defying their critics, asks Paul Flynn

We all know that AJLT got off to, ahem, a shaky start. The knife blows came quick and sharp. Dumping Samantha off to London was the ultimate insult. Samantha invented the Meatpacking district. She could not be less Chiswick. Miranda losing all her previous steely confidence in a university classroom? As if! A new list of supporting characters introduced clunkily to atone for the sins of SATC’s glaring diversity issues past.

And yet, have the writers been playing the long game? Episode by episode, the jigsaw started to colour in a wider picture about what being in their fifties actually feels like for Carrie and co, an age when possibilities turn to inevitabilities and sage, sometimes sad wisdom clouds over the fleeting giddiness and jollity of trends.

Because it was Big, not Samantha, who was the surprise kill-off. There have been inevitable rumours that Kim Cattrall may yet return to the show, a possibility lingering over the promise of an as-yet-unconfirmed but heavily hinted at second season. ‘We all miss her and hope she comes back for a second season,’ a close source told The Daily Mail. ‘The door will never close on her,’ they added.

jen_out_of_ten God knows who’s tuning in . It’s trying so hard to be woke and so far away from the original bold concept it’s incredible
