A new show has taken over my life, Sex and the City. My brother got an HBO Max subscription recently and I thought I’d see what was on there. Low and behold I come across Sex and the City, and I think. I have always heard about this show throughout the gay community. I do need to stay cultured in my gay knowledge. Why not?
First night in. I binged almost the entire first season. What is it about this show? Four single, thirty-something aged women -with a love for cosmopolitans-tackle love in New York City. Sadly, I am not in New York City or a woman in my early thirties. One night’s dose of the show, and I’m already trying to write my blog like the main character’s, Carrie Bradshaw, writes her column for the New York Star.
I mean, the characters are great! First is Carrie…who always looks unimaginably pretty. It pains me when her character talks about being jealous of models. Really doesn’t do justice to the ego. So laid back too and just cool. She looks glamorous all the time, so what’s not to love?
Then there’s Samantha Jones. She is an iconic seductress of ‘The Big Apple.’ She is liberated and her ideology of life is just fabulous. I agree with most any advice she offers the friend group on their usual brunch out or at parties. The gays obviously would just love her. And I/we do!
Charlotte Goldenblatt. Her character is honestly so vanilla sometimes it’s annoying. She isn’t really as adventurous as the rest of the group, and her views are always just so like…ugh. I don’t like some things about her, but she can be a greattt friend and really supportive. She is someone who’ll come over when you call.
Finally there’s Miranda Hobbes. I like her confidence and willingness to not hold back. She is a lawyer, and sometimes she ca be a little uptight but we love her. I thought she was lesbian when I first saw her character, and then I was told she was in real life, but not on the show. Unless I just haven’t watched enough to see it yet, I hope they let her character be true to her. I get that actors act, and don’t always play roles that are them. But.. I don’t know..
Oh my gawd, this show just has great characters– set in a big, great place. I have no idea how I keep relating to it in so many ways, but I am. It’s only my fourth day on Sex and the City and I’m already on Season 3. I even got my brother hooked, and my mom re-watching it. If you’ve ever heard about it and wondered what the hype was about, like me, then go see. It’s such a killer sitcom that’s being brought back again for another season soon, so this is like the perfect opportunity to jump on the bandwagon.
Let’s all wanna go be single writers in New York City ! Let’s go ! ♥
