I was a big fan of SATC and watched it regularly. Even with their flaws, the dynamic four faced challenges head on and as a team. Sometimes the outcomes were good, other times not.
The series was well written and edgy. NYC was the fifth SATC star. However, I thought the ending two episodes undermined the essence of this otherwise excellent show. Everything was unrealistically wrapped up into nice packages with pink bows, and there were happy endings for all.
Mr. Big, who was Carrie Bradshaw's chief tormentor, often treating her abysmally, emerges as her 'savior' at the series' conclusion. His misogyny toward her knew no bounds. He dragged her heart all over the Big Apple for six years (of course she allowed herself to be manipulated by him). If anything, the real hero would be the person who rescued Carrie not from Paris and Alexander Petrovsky, but from Mr. Big. Carrie needed her salvation from Big as well as from her own masochism which kept propelling her back to what was always an abusive relationship. SATC's ending will go down as one of the worst in tv history, imo.
