I finished up 'and just like that recently, and wasn't sure where to place my thoughts.
Then I stumbled upon a short thread that inspired me to read an article Kim Catrell had done with Variety Magazine regarding her departure from the forever amazing + classic Samantha Jones.
Kim Catrell : "Everything has to grow, or it dies. I felt that when the series ended, I thought that's smart. We're not repeating ourselves. And then the movie to end all the loose ends. And then there's another movie. And then there's another movie?"
The mail has been hit on the head, my sentiments align here. The third movie didn't fly off because KC wasn't investing, and this show feels to me now, like a car crash that's hard to look away from.
I cherish the OG SATC. The funny thing is, a lot of the content in that series would not at all be considered PC @ this date and time. It almost feels like the new producers took that ju-ju, added in a little "we are going to kill off Big and watch Carrie grieve + grow while the others... change their sexual orientation (which Miranda did try out once before in season one and decided it wasn't for her...) and Charlotte being simply a glimpse into a really rich entitled woman's ridiculous woes + way too much plastic surgery.
That's where the car crash comes in. Sarah Ramirez is from Greys. Came out there - has been v public in her voice and stance and choices and rights. Amen to that. Do you boo. Seeing her now Callie Torres in this role is weird. Adding into that the cosmetic surgery and perfect hair with aging bodies and aging being a story line coming in as a theme....
It's so contrived.
In my heart I believe this should have been put to rest after the first movie. It's hard to let go but, you don't have to if you're willing to compromise.
