It actually took me a while to finish watching the first episode since I stopped it in the middle on my first attempt,
The very first minutes had me already rolling my eyes over the social distancing jokes, which seemed too forced to me. The girls talk about not being who they used to be, mentioning the dog was a 'rescue', a comment about pronouns...again, too forced.
Miranda can't control her liquor now and only gets a bit pissed by her son having loud sex next to her, but Charlotte makes a scene because her daughter prefers to wear a different dress, I didn't get that.
A piano recital where Lily is excellent but the other kid can barely hit two notes...ridiculous.
I didn't even mind that Samantha's character wasn't there, but they couldn't just say she was working abroad, no, they had to invent a story where she was being a bad friend, sort of distasteful in my opinion. The dialogue made me think at times it was written for the actual actresses and not the characters.
I'm too curious to know how Carrie will deal with what happened but that doesn't change that I believe they should've left it as it was.
