So bad it almost feels like a parody
2 January 2022
You don't have to be a conservative to admit this show is beyond over-the-top. The writers drowned it in wokeness, extreme leftist contemporary tropes and lingo to the point it almost seems like they've intentionally turned the show into a parody. If it was smarter, it would be a decent satire on how ridiculous the woke culture is. But unfortunately it's not smart, they aren't being sarcastic, they're actually serious. And that's a really scary indictment on society, that the writers offered up this garbage with no hint of irony.

As a fan of the original series, you keep tuning in hoping that the clever writers who created the magic before have some kind of trick up their sleeves to turn the ship around and bring the story back to sanity. But alas, every episode the hole is dug deeper. By episode five, you start to realize there's no saving this sinking ship. And you start to better understand why Kim Cattrall might have passed on being a part of this installment. Perhaps she read the script and knew what an utter disaster it was. I'm trying to figure out why the others didn't have similar instincts.

Anyway, I think this show should be put out of its (and the audience's) misery. It's hit the iceberg now. The ship's riders are too damaged. There are still some cute and funny moments and dialogue-hence the 4 rating instead of something lower-but the positives are overshadowed by the propaganda which only eats away at any redeeming qualities bit by bit. So disappointed it has come to this. SATC deserved better from a reboot.
