Guys will never get what was so beloved about Sex and the City series. I didn't watch the first two years, kept meaning to, but didn't. So when I began watching it I fell for things in the series that I didn't realize I would and even had to go back and rewatch the first two seasons. All I ever heard was about Carrie as the main character, and also about Samantha's nudity. But this show was so much more and really had an authenticity about it regarding the friendships of these four women in glamorous New York City. Refreshing compared to all the sitcoms where usually the storylines come across as forced, canned, and fake lines to be funny, characters one-dimensional. Save Friends, which had the same kind of realness regarding the characters.
And all four of these women were so different and made for interesting friendships, and the story lines you really lived with them. Miranda was one of my favorite characters, so flawed, so tough, but deep down mush, but I loved all four women. The show had great writers on it and there were many great observations made about life, friendships, sex, relationships, very moving at times, all the while being a truly funny show, also. Cable shows are the best. .
