Just like many fans of SATC, I couldn't wait to watch this show, despite my spidy senders telling me it would be a bad idea, as with many sequels. I have to say that I was sad to watch this beloved show make me depressed. However, the writers did something which is very hard to do in TV world. They made me laugh. I cried and then laughed, and by the end of the first episode all my feelings telling me that it was a bad idea evaporated into eagerness to stream the next episode. It is a very hard job turning a 90s TV show into a sequel in the age of the millennial, whilst still having the ability to make us fall back in love with the characters. The art of story telling, a second time round, can be tough, especially given the fact that not all the original members of the cast turned up, they turned out. The way they wrote Samantha into this episode was tasteful and on brand, and very Michael Patrick King. To summarise, if you want to enjoy the show, pay attention to the small details, as I think they make the pilot as great as the writers did. Looking forward to episode 2, but next time, I'll make sure I bring the tissues, for the loss, and the laughs.
