They are pushing an agenda on decent people. Trying to make the unacceptable, acceptable! If we don’t stand up and say “no” they will continue to force it on us
Apologies if this has already been pointed out, but didn't you all find it odd that when Miranda is discussing Brady and her concerns about him, she's talking to and getting advice from Carrie? Shouldn't she be talking to Steve and letting him know what's going on? They didn't break up acrimoniously, he was always a loving dad, so why is he left out of the picture? Justice for Steve!
And no disrespect to people that don’t have kids- wouldn’t it be better to ask someone who’s got experience with teens? Even Charlotte would be better as she has a teen. But sure… call carrie.
@@Slinkymadinky1 I don't have kids and I was thinking that same. Sure, I'd be supportive if a friend called me with concerns about their child but I would be surprised if I was the first person they called, if they were close to other parents.
I thought people were exaggerating when people said they were trying to normalize pedophilia or that they were coming for the kids. I'm starting to think those people were right. It needs to stop.
I feel exactly the same. It does appear that left wing politics are taking a rather sinister turn. The makers of this shitshow clearly live within such an echo chamber, they no longer recognise where ‘too far’ is. All rather insidious and worrying.
It’s not even a conspiracy anymore. The UN released a statement about removing the unfair stigma of pdfiles and changing the term to MAP -Minor Attracted Persons. At a Pride Parade in NYC (I think it was NYC, not 100% sure) a group of these people were saying, “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.” Police officers are standing around witnessing grown men walk around naked in front of young children. Not one single person was arrested. Same thing happened in Toronto. A citizen called the Toronto Constabulary and the officer said that indecent exposure is allowed during a Pride event. Basically as long as you drape yourself in a Pride flag you can get away with anything. I’m so grateful that my children are no longer in school, but if they were they’d be educated at home, not indoctrinated in schools. Sorry for the rant.
@marig9236 But it is only going to be for 30 seconds? That will do nothing for this train wreck. I'm disappointed in KC. She had her integrity when she refused to be a part of it.
@@211FairyTaleI actually happy that Kim Cattrell (am I spelling her name?) is only going to be on for 30 seconds It will prove to everyone, especially SJP, who everyone came to see. It is my honest belief that the only reason why so many people are watching this train wreck is to see Samantha. The show has always been about everyone wanting to see Samantha. She is the only one that really embraces what the show was supposed to be about - not judging others for what they do in the bedroom.
The ruined Miranda's character. There is nothing wrong with being a successful lawyer that can support yourself. There is nothing wrong with being smart. The made Miranda dumb and dull in this series. This show is an insult to women.
I’m soooo disappointed in the way they’re writing Miranda’s character. She’s a nincompoop now. From self confidence pessimistic partner at a law firm to a Che chaser. It’s sickening.
Or. She’s just going through a midlife crisis, and we will see what it looks like for a middle-aged woman to get back in the career scene and start the next chapter of my life. 🤷♀ I don’t mind the new storylines. What I think is unrealistic, are the forced friendships between people that we’ve never normally continue a friendship. Like Miranda’s professor? Why is she still even in the show in real life Miranda and that woman would not be friends or continue a friendship. That woman would have her own pod or group of friends. And Seema? Did she not have friends before Carrie?
@@HH-gv8mx I am also annoyed that they added the story lines of these characters...the most annoying one being that rich friend of Charlotte's. I don't watch the show for them, they should only stick to the main characters' lives
I wonder what the real miranda would have looked like paired w Che. Would Miranda learn to see things in a diff light ? Would it add to hers? would it give her a new found appreciation for herself and all that she is? What a great storyline that will never be because..... CHE!!!!
Che is essentially a “f*ck boy” with a different gender. If this character were a guy this wouldn’t have gone past an episode. It’s also incredibly sad to see a strong professional woman give up everything for a relationship where their partner has zero respect for her. But we’re supposed to buy it as a liberating because Che is non binary? No a shifty relationship is still shitty regardless. I don’t care if my kid is 8 or 80 I will be at their side first before any romantic partner. The way this show treats motherhood as a hobby rather than an actual responsibility is what really gets me. In the original series Charlotte was practically moving mountains to get pregnant so she could be a mom and now her great validation is the “milf” list. It’s truly disgusting
What annoys me is how hard they're trying to sell Che and Miranda as a wholesome and loving couple. They're trying desperately to convince us that they're perfect for each other. Whoever wrote this is beyond out of touch and has no clue how real human relationships actually work.
Miranda seems to have become a spineless simpering wimpering groupie. I wish they'd snap her out of whatever she's in and have her go back to school like she wanted to and get some hutzpah back.
I knew the creator of the series very very well as a teenager. He was deeply mysogenistic already and I found it so ironic later on in life that he created this show supposedly empowering women. I'm not surprised that it degenerated into the horrible mess that it is now.
@@watervillegangmember Sorry, I won't go further than that and it's the first time I've ever mentioned it. Unlike a certain dastardly duo, I don't like blabbing about other people and am a bit embarrassed that I disclosed that much! How they manage to live with themselves, it's mind boggling.
Why did SJP allow them to take a wonderful show and turn it into this? I really believe Kim C. dodged a bullet. This is definitely one to walk away from. These shows are a window into the sick mind of Michael Patrick King. I so miss Darren Starr.
I don't even feel comfortable calling Miranda, Miranda. She sounds like Mickey Mouse and she's scared of everything! Miranda took no crap and was confident and opinionated on the original show and this woman I have no clue who she is! That is not Miranda! I refuse to accept it.
So ironic that Miranda was telling Carrie to not give up her power to a man in the last episode but apparently, she can do this since she is with a woman lol
What is their weird obsession with adults objectifying teenage boys? Kim was 110% right to run screaming and I'm shocked they went out of their ways to resurrect that storyline.
I never watched either series. They wanted Kim Cattrall's character to go after the red heads son? What was his age? Is that why she isn't in this series?
Apparently, according to Hollywood these days, being a strong woman is just being a douchey guy. They took all the worst traits one can find in some male characters, gave them to female characters and celebrated it as victory for feminism.
Agreed! There’s no common sense anymore, it went from let’s respect each other to nope! You gotta say what I want you to say and kids have to be involved in adults sexuality preferences 🤦🏻♀️
Shocked at the milf scene especially since they're branding themselves as the wokest show in history. Then they throw that in! Makes no sense. If Che were a man, everyone would tell Miranda he's a dick and to leave. I feel bad for the original writers from the series, I wonder how they feel seeing their work twisted in this horrendous manner. No joy! No fashion! Just trash.
@@lisajay9512Miranda has become this frumpy old woman who is a camp follower of Che. For goodness sakes she had to line up with the audience to see her “Partners” new show. How disrespectful to Miranda. 😡
I have recollections that in SITC not only could Carrie say the v word, but that she would mock Charlotte for not using proper anatomical terms. It's like they can't remember the original series at all. The lovely Kim Catrall has dodged a bullet not being in this shit show.
You know what's weird about the word vagina? It's like some Latin derivative or exact translation of the word sheath. I can't remember which. In any case, the use of this word suggests that a vagina isn't a thing on its own, but rather only an organ as it relates to the male organ, the penis..... As a sheath to a sword. Look up the word sheath if you doubt it, I'm perfectly serious. So the basis of comparison to the female anatomy in itself is how it serves only in relation to male anatomy? Shocker. 🙄
The worst feeling about this show is - The Lost Potential. It could’ve been this generations Golden Girls - a fun, fashionable, modern 50/60 something’s show. Any true SATC fan could not like AJLT.
To this day "Golden Girls" remains extremely smart, progressive and FUN. They didn't need to push shock value and politic agendas, they had talent on their side, talented writers and talented actresses.
@chrispeplinski7306 definitely ahead of its time because no one did a show about older people actually still being human beings with love lives, jobs, sex, volunteer work etc. And apparently we're back to the dark ages where being over 50 is a death sentence smh
The writers hate men. Point blank. Steve’s pain is funny Brady’s pain is funny Even Anthony and LTW’s husband-their pain is funny. Big literally dying is just a plot point to move the characters along - no different Seema’s Birkin. And now they’re objectifying male children because it’s funny. Funny to them, because they’re gross…and misandrists.
My mother spent 41 years (1950 to 1991) in media and attested to their degraded, sex-crazed minds. When Corey Feldman first stepped up to the microphone and openly accused Hollywood of sexualizing children and indulging in paedophilia, he was crucified. In 2017, Corey spoke out again about being raped and that it was common in Hollywood. Then, in 2020, Ricky Gervais told Hollywood what he thought of their paedophilia. Look. Get mad if y'all want. But, this is what Hollywood is filming. At this point, should we believe they actually "care" about our interests or, do they want to be depraved fools?
I'm shocked at the older women I've ran across who think it was OK. I don't recall ever thinking a teen was hot, and I don't think it's something women with any decency would do. I won't even objective male strippers abd they expect it.
Sarah Jessica Parker was recently quoted as saying that she won’t allow any dialogue in the script that didn’t actually happen to one of the writers. So there you go. The show is written by a bunch of perverts, so we get this disgusting crap.
Season 1 Sema - wasn’t she supposed to be a strong independent woman who went against social and cultural norms? Season 2 she freaked out about her hairstylist and panicked about her purse! What is this character!?!?
....AND, am I the Only One who see that just because she's Indian, she swarthed in BEIGE, like ALL THE TIME!!??? ...brown, dark brown, beige, leopard prints....JEEZ!
I could not believe that they went there with the teenage boy. The network should fire the writers for that. And the actors for that matter. They agree to a script where a child is predated upon? Seriously.
If this show was, perchance, written, produced and acted with conservative people and they did this sloppy writing and women oogling young boys, you better believe we would be hearing it over the rooftops, The View and all the other liberal pundits and politicians would be screaming and demanding the show be taken off the air and we’d have to listen to their self righteous outrage.
It's so hebephilic, isn't it? I was exposed to cinematography from all over the world and what pleasantly surprised me in other countries is the focus on adult characters. Sure, there are many movies and shows about teenagers too, but it doesn't reek of obsession with teenage sexuality like it does in Hollywood.
That the writers producers actors network all greenlit this ---they are all desensitized to harming children. Chilling for them and for all of us. JEN well said🎉
Anthony is the only character who resembles SATC as far as being consistent with personality, etc. He is great in the majority of his scenes. The rest is a moribund mess. They are murdering the SATC legacy one episode at a time. A hate-watch lovers fest!!!
Anthony should be given more camera time than Che. He has been apart of the show for a long time. Plus, Anthony fits in with the age range of the other girls. It should show him trying to find love. If we have to stomach Che, they should only pop up every now and then.
@RealHousewivesRecaps are you going to carry them on? I totally understand why you're so disgusted with this show and feel it difficult to go on but your reviews are why I follow your channel. They are also one of the only reasons that I persevere with AJLT.
Guys, the bottom line is this: they don’t care that we hate it and we are grossed out by everything we see. ALL they care about is subscriptions and views of the show. That is it! As long as we all keep watching, even though we are all APALLED, they consider it a huge success and will probably create more of this TOXIC CRAP
I don’t watch this show; just here for Jen. But I do remember that the Kim Cattrall drama had been slanted as a feud with SJP. Seems it turns out to be this bizarre and unsavory plot line that an NDA prevented her from revealing. You’re so right about the discussion we’d be having if guys were ogling a girl. 🤦♀️ 🤷♀️ 🙄
Harriet I appreciate it so much I really do. This is a hot pile of garbage. I can't even make it fun or funny. I am ready to switch back and make fun of H and M haha thanks!
Why would they have to have a NDA if they actually believed the story was good and could stand up to scrutiny or differing opinions? They must have known deep down that it was a horrible cringe storyline 🤷🏻♀️
@@MsGreenmermaid I’m just saying maybe Kim didn’t like the plot line but couldn’t divulge the real reason. Stars of series almost always have NDAs so there aren’t any spoilers.
They’re just rehashing old storylines. Samantha got her Birken bag as a symbol of her success. Carrie’s designer purse & shoes were stolen in SATC in a mugging. Seema’s prized Birken bag stolen in a mugging. Then the lamest, slowest robbery of Lisette’s jewelry. Thief didn’t disguise his face in a city & event that would have plenty of cameras. And we’re supposed to believe that Lisette has to start over & that the police won’t be able to find the thief after so many people saw his face.
I haven't watched episode three yet, but remember in Season one, the sex scenes with Brady and his girlfriend. They were disgusting as well! There is something wrong with these writers, mentally wrong!
The kids are insufferable and no one dares correct them. And then we wonder why society has gone to hell in a hand basket....but it's not like these adults understand consequences....
Yes. But beware: NPK and Co will tell us we feel that way because we don't understand and are 'fearful' of Che. Eh? How patronising when can only react to what the writers give us
I came for ‘And Just Like That’, I stayed for ‘Hank & Skank’ and now I’m in the Drunk Goose Club, I’m never leaving!! Honk you, Jen!! Honk you very much!! Just watched ep. 3 and I’m dumbfounded, as usual. How are they getting it SO wrong, to such an egregious degree? MPK and his odious, woke gang of ‘writers’ need to honk off!!
Lucy I can't tell you what kind of horrible morning I have had its been a steaming pile topped off by this show... this comment has given me so many laughs and my first big smile of the day. Truly I can't thank you enough. They can all honk right off!! honk honk Lucy!
It’s MPK and these new so-called writers. Sex and the City we loved NYC and AJLT makes me despise the people of NYC. I also can no longer stand Sarah Ramirez I think this Che person is her real persona
I feel the same way! I loved SR in Grey's Anatomy, but now I'm not even sure I can go back and binge watch that series because they are on it. I always try to separate the art from the artist but this one has crossed a line.
I was giving the actual actress the benefit of doubt and summing it up to just being a role.....until I read about their personal life for the past 8 years. Sara Ramirez is Che Diaz.....was married to a man, got divorced, came out as non-binary, and life has revolved around that ever since. The only difference (no matter what they say in interviews) between the two is one is a comedian the other is an actress. As for MPK...I looked up his resume once again to see that I wasn't crazy. This man can write. He wrote the best episodes of SATC, The Comeback, and Murphy Brown. He is capable of doing great work.....so what's going wrong here? There is something going down in that writer's room that we all aren't seeing that is jacking up this show....that and MPK's unchecked ego are truly destroying this show. The HBO execs had to step in to get that Kim Cattrall cameo. I'm afraid of this show is going to be saved the same will have to be done for the writer's room, MPK, and a few other items. HBO execs will have to list several demands before they greenlight a third season. Non-negotiables: 1. Kim Cattrall back as a main character OR recast with Sharon Stone. (Hear me out LOL). No exceptions. 2. Che is gone...no reduced role...no development....GONE. This is one of the most hated characters in tv history....a feat I thought impossible in 2023 but here we are. No redemption. We are at the cut your losses while you can point. There are many others regarding diversity and storylines but those two are a must. I don't want this post to be several pages long. To be honest after this episode it might be too late to even get it back on track. This episode was the final straw for many and viewership of the second season from the first is already down by 59%.
They’ve absolutely butchered our beloved show that I have literally watched on repeat for years. I could practically act out half of the original show/tell you the lines. This…this I don’t even wanna watch an episode twice, once is enough and makes me feel like I’m lying on a bed of nails trying to get through 🙄
Besides the lazy Birkin Bag plot line, we are supposed to believe Miranda was able to fool security into thinking she didn't own a phone, despite the fact 30 seconds ago she was in line yelling at Brady on her phone for everyone to see!
About as believable as Carrie finding the purse that the robber guy stole (along with her Manolos) in that one SATC episode. Apparently that “baguette” made an appearance in AJLT, because everyone is supremely lazy on this show.
I love your sense of humor and how irreverent you are. I also appreciate your integrity and clear lines for what is wrong. What you've described in the story line this episode is DISGUSTING.
I was disgusted about the scene where the grown women were all watching the kid walk down the hallway. But I’m not seeing people criticize the way the episode made COVID into a JOKE. That made me just as furious!!!
Faking covid seems on point to me. I bet there were heaps of people faking it, especially when government was paying them $700 for a week off work in Australia, even if you normally only got paid half that. No wonder our country is broke now!
I can really hear your disgust in your voice. You are normally so upbeat and positive. What you are reporting is right. Don’t apologise. I can’t imagine what they were thinking. It’s beyond sad and at my age, I wasn’t even that invested. I feel for those fans who loved these characters.
Here for the recaps. Thank you for watching this so I don’t have to! A visit to Rotten Tomatoes to give this crap the review it deserves is much needed. It is sickening!
I’m convinced we are in an alternate universe, and will be transported back eventually. There’s no other logical explanation. When Miranda was talking about hating her old life, work, etc… all I could think of was her line from the second movie “Sometimes, as much as I love Brady, being a mother just isn't enough. I miss my job.” She loved her job. She was proud of it. If we could take SATC Miranda, introduce her to Che, she’d have absolutely no interest. The new Miranda I do not recognize. I applaud her for actually being a mom this episode. I agree with Everything you said Jenn. Thank you for being our support system through this.
Well, under the RUclips ad for the show, there are hundreds of rave, four-star reviews. What a crock. You better believe those are all paid shills Trying to deceive the public to sign up for Max, thinking they’re actually getting quality show
@@RHRJen This show was terrible but still semi-fixable....UNTIL this particular episode. HBO execs stepped in and demanded Kim Cattrall's cameo and unless they do the same for other aspects of the show there is no way this should be greenlit for another season. Somebody has to step in to put MPK's ego in check. The only people that can override MPK, SJP, and that damned writer's room is HBO. Sad it's come to that. Knowing MPK and his ego he will probably say screw you and try and take the show to Netflix. 😂😂😂
I agree, the creators don't care why we watch it and how much we loathe it, as long as we keep watching it, they'll keep desecrating the original. I know, it's fun to lambast it, but it's just not worth it.
I really enjoyed Carrie and Bitsy’s conversation about grief, “the hole never fills but new life grows around it” got tears from me, I thought they covered grief this episode better than any episode last season. But everything else was trash.
@@UsernameVincent 🤣 hahaha that’s funny! I am currently going through the grieving process and the void left behind by my loved one is all consuming, I found the phrase helpful because of that.
@@TheCouchPotatoWatchesTV Sorry for your loss. My mom died a month ago. Up until today I was existing in a grief fog. I agree, that scene was great. Bitzy looks super too.
I think the writers are living vicariously through the characters. In real life, 50-something women are not ogling teenaged boys, and the boys are definitely not interested in these old cows. Jen, we don't want you to be depressed by this show 😢.
It's just starting to seem not worth it for reviewers to bother with this thing. If they reversed the genders and a lot of fiftyish men were ogling a teenage girl, how long would it be on the air? Who would lose their jobs? As we used to say in the '60s, what a downer.
I guess I'm enjoying the few redeemable moments and am hopeful that it will somehow approve. I can't stop watching it because I have FOMO if I stop watching it and it gets better. Or it's just a train wreck.
You are so brave literally to be watching this horror show and its just shocking that this 2nd and no doubt last season of this horrific show is worse than last season.Just watching your recap not watching this show!! Thanks for watching this I can only imagine how horrible these episodes are wow!
R.I.P. Miranda Hobbes. You were once a Harvard educated pragmatic lawyer who knew herself and what she did and didn’t want with a dash of cynicism about romance…who knew how to work a phone
I just can't get past Charlottes face to focus on anything else - but the story lines with Miranda are cringe worthy enough. I think "Charlotte" has had filler in her jaw and chin, or a chin implant put in that throws off the whole look of her face. I mean yeah the cheeks are puffy from filler, but the chin and jaw tweek has really made her not so attractive anymore.
It looks better than the first season's face. She looked like she was wearing a mask of her own face. All the fillers have settled down a little but she still has that botox slur.
Kristin Davis has ruined her once beautiful face. She would’ve aged gracefully. You can tell that even if the person is young. She now looks more and more like that cat woman who had too many plastic surgeries in the 80/90s. Disgusting.
I agree with you 1000%. This episode was sooooo aweful it was painful. The only accomplishment the writers succeeded at was to make me actually feel bad for Miranda….. it’s pretty sad that the only reason this show has any semblance at success is because most people watch it only to witness the horror of it.
I couldn’t watch the show. Charlotte’s plastic surgery is like cringing over Courtney Cox’s plastic surgery. They are grandmother age now, i don’t want to be ageist, but it’s time to grow up. I can’t handle hearing about Miranda. And knowing Chris Noth has sexual assault charges ruined the original show. It’s too woke!
Please note nothing came of those two charges-2004, 2015, other than smearing him, with no chance to clear his name. I hate that it’s ruined the whole show for you.
You have to put things into perspective. One always has to wonder about assault accusations when the offender is famous. I know it sounds bad but there are people who will do anything to become famous even if it’s only for 15 minutes. Quite often it is found they never even met the offender or they had a photo taken with them when they caught the person out for the evening. Suddenly once they come forward, everyone wants to talk to them, which makes them feel important. Chris has always had a high profile in the public. He lives in NY and owned a nightclub there so it would be common place to see him out and about. He was an easy target and made even more easy by being on a hit show. If something had really happened, like with Weinstein, he would sitting in prison right now. The fact he isn’t is a good indication nothing like what was alleged ever transpired.
Repulsive is another word for disgusting. I’m glad I’m not watching and wouldn’t be upset if you stopped as well. I love your channel and will still support 💜.
It feels like they have sucked out everything good from the show now left at a complete Shell…. For me, this show is a disgusting Cannon… for me, the story ended with the movie number two… everybody having their partner, kids living happy and thriving and girls just walking into moonlight❤ bless you for doing these recaps
The second movie was awful but after the first season of AJLT, it actually made me like that move. LOL. Although they did Sam dirty in that movie. No way would Samantha fly all the way to Abu Dhabi and not research the area/culture/entertainment etc before she got there. If Miranda hadn't have had a plan, they would have what, stayed at the hotel pool all day for the whole week?
Charlotte/ K. Davis blaming everyone else for her face, Instead of blame everyone else for having an opinion (you are in the public eye) blame yourself for giving into the pressure of your industry. You could of aged with grace and set an example for women.. Instead you do this then blame others who don't like the results. Nay, nay. She was naturally beautiful and I'm sorry she spoilt that.
Never heard of this show, but I am disgusted that this topic would be seen as okay. Seriously?? It's NOT okay! Why would the writers go toward them or anyone being pedophiles!? Sick.
Because that is the AGENDA of the media overall. The media is under the umbrella and direction (undisclosed of course) of the federal government's backers and funders. It was created to entertain, distract, and influence the perceptions, beliefs and values of the population. EVERY show incrementally goes bit by bit in the same directions. This show just jumped straight into the deep end. The only way to stop this or at least get a show cancelled is through public outrage. Recall the mtv show that was all about teenage s#cuality(sp) and was too much too graphic and parents' groups protested and the show was cancelled. That's what we can do. Express our disgust to the network and media. This channel is doing just that. Kudos to you, Real Housewives Recaps!! .
Because that’s the goal. Normalizing brutally sexually assaulting and raping children. They’re putting it right out there. It’s not ok and if it’s tolerated soon it will be normalized like the rest of the twisted disgusting agenda
@@Maria-vv7zv If this was a group of single, college aged women it would be one thing checking out a guy a few years younger. Still weird but not nearly as offensive and disgusting as married women in their mid 50s who have children as old as the kid they were checking out. I cannot imagine anyone that age doing that let alone a group of women. Someone in their group would have called them out on that. Whoever thought this was funny should be fired.
I can’t believe this is what my former go to show (in the good old days) has become. When Big died and Miranda dumped the most patient and tolerant husband in history, I said goodbye. Stop punishing yourself - walk away!
Carrie is lucky to have friends support her through her grief. My boyfriend passed away two years ago and I was alone. “Friends” were dismissive when I took them up on their offer of “If you ever need to talk, I’m here,” and my mother yelled and me to get over it.
THANK YOU!!! For not going along with their disgusting pedo crap! Love you now! It's not ok and its not funny about the high school boy. Thank you for presenting it as a normal human and the wrong that it is!! Thank you!
I think I missed the episode where Miranda got a traumatic brain injury. Why does she act like someone who is on planet earth for the very first time? She can't figure out how doors work or how phones work, and she seems to think that her 19 year old son's break-up is a suicide emergency??? And don't get me started on a bunch of 45 year olds drooling over some 16 year old boy.
Probably finished filming before the merger that’s why it was release if it was barely announced when the new owner of hbo probably would have cancelled this due to cost cutting. Now of this gets a third season no clue.
Omg, this episode was literally shocking. I’m absolutely dumbfounded. Painfully boring, depressing, inappropriate, horribly written, horribly acted, ugly fashions, and so on. I said the exact same things that you did about this episode to my husband. I don’t care about even one of these characters. Shame on everyone involved in this trash and the tarnishing of a once beloved show.
Wow, I can hear the pain and frustration you're feeling regarding this show. I've never watched this show, but for you to come out and say this show is no good, I BELIEVE YOU. You are a person who has strong convictions and if you say something is wrong then I'm going to listen! I love you for your honesty and fun-loving videos and when you throw up cautions regarding ANYTHING, I'm going to listen. Thank you for your honest opinions and the care you have for others. ❤ You're amazing, girlie.
....AND, we're supposed to believe Seema finds it on an UPSCALE NEW YORK street, that doesn't get spiffed up, by the HOUR!? ...for TWO DAYS!? ...eeesh....
In the first season, we have Brady having sex with his girlfriend all over the house apparently and they were in high school, correct? And what is with Miranda who was always been a strong, independent woman, a fierce lawyer fiercely about her friends, and she leaves everything and runs off to be with Che? Remember when she had such a hard time with Teri going to Paris with the Russian. None of this makes sense.
Have you all noticed that Hollywood in recent years has done that with almost everything that fans love? Star Wars, Little Mermaid, Indiana Jones, Lightyear(all Disney BTW). They’ve taken every bit of joy, every happy ending and crapped all over it. Then they try to spoon feed us woke , depressing BS down our throats and are shocked when we don’t go to the cinema or turn off the TV. Well boo boo for them. I haven’t watched TV in almost 3 years. Great content creators like Real Housewives Recap are my entertainment now.
As a high school teacher the theme of the parents being attracted to that KID, so gross!! And yes Che is the worst of the worst! When are the writers going to listen to us?!? Do they want an audience? The problem is the episodes don’t have a theme anymore, the scenes have no point
The story lines are so all over the place. Every episode has a different plot. The original show had a storyline and every episode was sort of a continuation of the episode before. But it’s a mess I agree 😊
It sounds awful! I'm not watching it, but I look forward to your recaps. It's a shame they've made such a mess of this series. I have lots of thoughts on it, but I'll just keep those to myself. Thanks, Jen! Side note: I watched all the way to end of your recap. If you're not feeling it, don't torture yourself watching. I found you through the recaps of last season, but I'm not going anywhere!
At this point I’m only going to watch the season finale so I can see the Samantha cameo (which I don’t really have high expectations for), that’ll make it some kind of worth it
@@RHRJen Season 1 of AJLT was bad. This season is obviously boringly bad as I can't stay awake. I used to love Sex in the City, it was my go to viewing every week, every season. I even loved that I'm a Cari too (even though I'm with a K) Now I'm 🥱😴
I didn’t really find the “milf” thing offensive, I just found this entire episode to be a giant snooze fest. And that Carrie scene lasted forever. And the acting and editing in this episode was atrocious.
I'm so glad you feel the same way as me! I watched the first 3 episodes in disbelief! I can't believe the first conversation of the series was about poached eggs and salmon! I can't believe Miranda is still 'acting' like a limp lettuce. I can't believe Che is still in it! The writing is so awful and the actors all look bored, they're not even trying! Charlotte is being shoe-horned into the series, they can't even be bothered to give her a storyline! It all feels so lazy. They have added all these extra characters and now there is no room for anyone to develop and grow. I just don't care about anyone in it anymore. But I'm happy to see that you and all the people commenting on here feel the same. At least I'm not alone!
I agree. They have added four new characters to this show and there are only 10 episodes a season. There isn’t much time to develop a good story line for each new character, plus the originals girls.
By the time Brady gets back to NYC and see's his Mom, Miranda, its been maybe up to four days since he and his GF broke up. He starts bawling uncontrollably and lets be honest unrealistically at this point. Just another emasculating man scene. Its so over the top and obvious. 🙄
Outside of the obvious problematic behavior, isn't it weird that a bunch of 50 y old moms act like they never seen a somewhat good-looking teenage boy in their entire life? Or is this how they act every time like they just landed from Mars or something?
Thank you for speaking out. This episode goes too far into scary disturbing territory. Wtf. No way to make it make sense imo. You did the right thing addressing the issue and each character rather than a chronological recap. Thank you - love your channel and your goose voice ❤ I’m trying to see if the media has reported on this episode yet? I truly feel someone needs to held responsible.
I have never watched this show but this is an example of how the world has crossed sexual boundaries. They do it first in the entertainment field. Saying its ok to have sex with teenagers and kids.
Wow, why did they do this ??! Me and my girlfriends were all in our early 20s and grew up with SATC, but the new show is so sad it makes me angry that they could make this show so horrible. I havent watched any of season 2. I totally agreed with your recaps of season 1, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to feel the same with season 2. So depressing!
Sadly Jen, I think the characters ARE relatable..but only to certain people, the ones most of us want nothing to do with, but seem to be being pandered to for some totally inexplicable reason (to me)
I woke up this morning to watch the show and I put on your recap right away to hear what you had to say. This show is awful and SO unrealistic. Are we really supposed to believe that Carrie’s realtor is going to lunch with Carrie’s friend’s friend Sema?
You guys this is too far not funny or fun just trash. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
They are pushing an agenda on decent people. Trying to make the unacceptable, acceptable! If we don’t stand up and say “no” they will continue to force it on us
Oh, Jen, you poor thing! I think all us drunk geese will excuse and acquit you of suffering any more viewing of this atrocious crapfest.
I agree
@@Nechyfer6006 Oh wow thank you! I was having a horrible morning after watching this but your comment made me smile thank you
@@ecm958 thank you! I appreciate that
Apologies if this has already been pointed out, but didn't you all find it odd that when Miranda is discussing Brady and her concerns about him, she's talking to and getting advice from Carrie? Shouldn't she be talking to Steve and letting him know what's going on? They didn't break up acrimoniously, he was always a loving dad, so why is he left out of the picture? Justice for Steve!
🙄
Yep just like how strange it was last year that Steve was never brought into Miranda’s drinking problem observations and discussions -
He has been done dirty this entire series. Love Steve.
And no disrespect to people that don’t have kids- wouldn’t it be better to ask someone who’s got experience with teens? Even Charlotte would be better as she has a teen. But sure… call carrie.
@@Slinkymadinky1 I don't have kids and I was thinking that same.
Sure, I'd be supportive if a friend called me with concerns about their child but I would be surprised if I was the first person they called, if they were close to other parents.
I thought people were exaggerating when people said they were trying to normalize pedophilia or that they were coming for the kids. I'm starting to think those people were right. It needs to stop.
Oh please don’t make me watch this. Two episodes were enough.
I feel exactly the same. It does appear that left wing politics are taking a rather sinister turn. The makers of this shitshow clearly live within such an echo chamber, they no longer recognise where ‘too far’ is. All rather insidious and worrying.
It’s not even a conspiracy anymore. The UN released a statement about removing the unfair stigma of pdfiles and changing the term to MAP -Minor Attracted Persons.
At a Pride Parade in NYC (I think it was NYC, not 100% sure) a group of these people were saying, “we’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children.” Police officers are standing around witnessing grown men walk around naked in front of young children. Not one single person was arrested. Same thing happened in Toronto. A citizen called the Toronto Constabulary and the officer said that indecent exposure is allowed during a Pride event. Basically as long as you drape yourself in a Pride flag you can get away with anything.
I’m so grateful that my children are no longer in school, but if they were they’d be educated at home, not indoctrinated in schools. Sorry for the rant.
Thanks for finally recognizing what’s really going on in Western culture-YES, they are normalizing pedophilia. It’s horrific. Wake up, everyone!
This is exactly what's happening, I knew when they took it out of the DSM 5 as a mental illness and certain countries decriminalizing it
Once Again Kim Cattrall has been proven to be telling the truth and it took an person high level at HBO to get her back
.....for a lot of MOOLAH, we hope......a L-O-T .......
Kim was pretty much the lucky one to avoid this dumpster fire of a show
@marig9236 But it is only going to be for 30 seconds? That will do nothing for this train wreck. I'm disappointed in KC. She had her integrity when she refused to be a part of it.
@@211FairyTale in her words and no one has yet to say otherwise: a high ranking HBO executive begged her. That has to feel great. She already won
@@211FairyTaleI actually happy that Kim Cattrell (am I spelling her name?) is only going to be on for 30 seconds
It will prove to everyone, especially SJP, who everyone came to see. It is my honest belief that the only reason why so many people are watching this train wreck is to see Samantha.
The show has always been about everyone wanting to see Samantha. She is the only one that really embraces what the show was supposed to be about - not judging others for what they do in the bedroom.
The ruined Miranda's character. There is nothing wrong with being a successful lawyer that can support yourself. There is nothing wrong with being smart. The made Miranda dumb and dull in this series. This show is an insult to women.
I’m soooo disappointed in the way they’re writing Miranda’s character. She’s a nincompoop now. From self confidence pessimistic partner at a law firm to a Che chaser. It’s sickening.
Or. She’s just going through a midlife crisis, and we will see what it looks like for a middle-aged woman to get back in the career scene and start the next chapter of my life. 🤷♀
I don’t mind the new storylines. What I think is unrealistic, are the forced friendships between people that we’ve never normally continue a friendship. Like Miranda’s professor? Why is she still even in the show in real life Miranda and that woman would not be friends or continue a friendship. That woman would have her own pod or group of friends. And Seema? Did she not have friends before Carrie?
@@HH-gv8mx I am also annoyed that they added the story lines of these characters...the most annoying one being that rich friend of Charlotte's. I don't watch the show for them, they should only stick to the main characters' lives
I wonder what the real miranda would have looked like paired w Che. Would Miranda learn to see things in a diff light ? Would it add to hers? would it give her a new found appreciation for herself and all that she is? What a great storyline that will never be because..... CHE!!!!
My same thoughts. What they did to Miranda? She is not the same😢
Che is essentially a “f*ck boy” with a different gender. If this character were a guy this wouldn’t have gone past an episode. It’s also incredibly sad to see a strong professional woman give up everything for a relationship where their partner has zero respect for her. But we’re supposed to buy it as a liberating because Che is non binary? No a shifty relationship is still shitty regardless. I don’t care if my kid is 8 or 80 I will be at their side first before any romantic partner. The way this show treats motherhood as a hobby rather than an actual responsibility is what really gets me. In the original series Charlotte was practically moving mountains to get pregnant so she could be a mom and now her great validation is the “milf” list. It’s truly disgusting
If I could like this comment a million times I would.
What annoys me is how hard they're trying to sell Che and Miranda as a wholesome and loving couple. They're trying desperately to convince us that they're perfect for each other. Whoever wrote this is beyond out of touch and has no clue how real human relationships actually work.
Miranda seems to have become a spineless simpering wimpering groupie. I wish they'd snap her out of whatever she's in and have her go back to school like she wanted to and get some hutzpah back.
It’s a terrible relationship! Period! And Miranda and Steve were special and unique I thought.
@@MonnamiePhannPhannmy thoughts exactly, I am the 92nd like of this comment, I wish I could “like” it 92,000 times
They have no clue how to write for older women. Or women. Or humans.
I am a liberal person; however, I don't find Che to be likeable in personality & NOT physically appealing, binary or not.
Che is a doofus. Physically and personality wise.
They are both boring now. They both need to go
The writers are racist and made sure to portray the only Latino character in the worst way possible, you bought into it congratulations
straight up. the best part of watching this show is hearing my middle aged mother’s reactions to che
Che could have been the "cool aunt" or friend to everyone with a fun sense of humor and adventure.
I knew the creator of the series very very well as a teenager. He was deeply mysogenistic already and I found it so ironic later on in life that he created this show supposedly empowering women. I'm not surprised that it degenerated into the horrible mess that it is now.
Oh wow no way! Sounds like he stayed the same then wow. Thanks Dottie!
Oh Dottie....Dot-teeeeeee, you must tell us more.
Ooh interesting
@@watervillegangmember Sorry, I won't go further than that and it's the first time I've ever mentioned it. Unlike a certain dastardly duo, I don't like blabbing about other people and am a bit embarrassed that I disclosed that much! How they manage to live with themselves, it's mind boggling.
He may have a personality disorder--that would explain his oppositional need to punish constructive criticism with MORE nastiness. Revenge!
I remember that kim catrell left because they wanted her and brady to have a inappropriate relationship. She read the script and was like no.
If that’s true, I have respect for her-I never liked her.
That's sickening
Smh
Wow I had no idea. Honestly this show is so bad that even Kim Catrell couldn’t help it.
What? I never heard this. Wow!
Why did SJP allow them to take a wonderful show and turn it into this? I really believe Kim C. dodged a bullet. This is definitely one to walk away from. These shows are a window into the sick mind of Michael Patrick King. I so miss Darren Starr.
Why? Millions of Dollars!
$10 million and episode and money from residuals.
She needed the money. She wasn't getting any other jobs in the industry.
Ego and jealousy.
Michael Patrick King is the worst. The more power he gets the worse sex and the city movies got
I don't even feel comfortable calling Miranda, Miranda. She sounds like Mickey Mouse and she's scared of everything! Miranda took no crap and was confident and opinionated on the original show and this woman I have no clue who she is! That is not Miranda! I refuse to accept it.
So ironic that Miranda was telling Carrie to not give up her power to a man in the last episode but apparently, she can do this since she is with a woman lol
I agree. She's a wimpy groupie now.
What is their weird obsession with adults objectifying teenage boys? Kim was 110% right to run screaming and I'm shocked they went out of their ways to resurrect that storyline.
BECAUSE THE communist gay mafia IS WRITING THIS SHOW, WAKE UP TO THE AGENDAS, your country is falling apart!!
I never watched either series. They wanted Kim Cattrall's character to go after the red heads son? What was his age? Is that why she isn't in this series?
@@Mimi-74 That is why she didn't come back yes. Brady (Miranda's son was in high school originally - like 17/18).
@@amycaitlyn1120 ~ Thank you
Kim is back this season…
I have always said (and still stand by) the fact that Che acts like a toxic male.
Funny that they patted themselves on the back shedding Chris Noth and replace him with a female version?! Nonsensical.
Che is horrible and selfish
Exactly!!!
Apparently, according to Hollywood these days, being a strong woman is just being a douchey guy. They took all the worst traits one can find in some male characters, gave them to female characters and celebrated it as victory for feminism.
Guess what. Che’s a female.
Miranda was a lawyer for decades in the larget metropolitan area in the US and she doesn't know how to operate a phone now apparently.
😂😂😂
Why is she in LA. Miranda is a new yoker she'd never leave!
You get cancelled for refusing to call a singular person they or them, yet its OK to sexualize a minor. These people are sick.
This is a stupid comparison. Sexualizing a minor by itself is disgusting. You can sit alone and be a bigot, mmmmkay?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes!
Agreed! There’s no common sense anymore, it went from let’s respect each other to nope! You gotta say what I want you to say and kids have to be involved in adults sexuality preferences 🤦🏻♀️
Shocked at the milf scene especially since they're branding themselves as the wokest show in history. Then they throw that in! Makes no sense. If Che were a man, everyone would tell Miranda he's a dick and to leave. I feel bad for the original writers from the series, I wonder how they feel seeing their work twisted in this horrendous manner. No joy! No fashion! Just trash.
Miranda used to be an independent sassy woman
Yes. And Miranda in the ep couldn’t use her new mobilie phone?! The old Miranda would have not had a problem. Totally different character!!
@@lisajay9512Miranda has become this frumpy old woman who is a camp follower of Che. For goodness sakes she had to line up with the audience to see her “Partners” new show. How disrespectful to Miranda. 😡
Independent but annoyingly odious. I couldn’t stand her. She was her own worse enemy and self sabotaged herself a lot of times.
I just said myself this is not Miranda,it's a clone. The aliens abducted the real one.
She was my favourite character of the series. Now I can't even look at her, with all these screaming and brainless attitude.
I have recollections that in SITC not only could Carrie say the v word, but that she would mock Charlotte for not using proper anatomical terms. It's like they can't remember the original series at all. The lovely Kim Catrall has dodged a bullet not being in this shit show.
Exactly this!!
I've said this a million times - Samantha should have been the sex columnist, and Carrie should have been the PR person. The. Worst. Casting.
You know what's weird about the word vagina?
It's like some Latin derivative or exact translation of the word sheath. I can't remember which. In any case, the use of this word suggests that a vagina isn't a thing on its own, but rather only an organ as it relates to the male organ, the penis..... As a sheath to a sword. Look up the word sheath if you doubt it, I'm perfectly serious. So the basis of comparison to the female anatomy in itself is how it serves only in relation to male anatomy? Shocker. 🙄
I don't think Carrie's main objection was saying vagina. She didn't want to endorse the product.
Wish these writers had gone on strike…they are just so bad. Like how did they get this gig being as bad at they are?!
The worst feeling about this show is - The Lost Potential. It could’ve been this generations Golden Girls - a fun, fashionable, modern 50/60 something’s show. Any true SATC fan could not like AJLT.
There's no heart, warmth or substance anymore...so depressing 😪🙈
To this day "Golden Girls" remains extremely smart, progressive and FUN. They didn't need to push shock value and politic agendas, they had talent on their side, talented writers and talented actresses.
The golden girls is a wonderful show that was certainly ahead of its time
I know right! Good point! What a waste 😔
@chrispeplinski7306 definitely ahead of its time because no one did a show about older people actually still being human beings with love lives, jobs, sex, volunteer work etc. And apparently we're back to the dark ages where being over 50 is a death sentence smh
A good word to describe this show is odious, it absolutely smells. It is disgusting.
....oooooooh. I LOVE 'odious' .....the WORD, not the smell! ...ha-HAA!!
Absolutely agree it's a sick industry deep dive it's all coming out Finally
The writers hate men. Point blank.
Steve’s pain is funny
Brady’s pain is funny
Even Anthony and LTW’s husband-their pain is funny.
Big literally dying is just a plot point to move the characters along - no different Seema’s Birkin.
And now they’re objectifying male children because it’s funny.
Funny to them, because they’re gross…and misandrists.
To be fair what they’ve done to Steve and Big could be considered a mercy killing compared to what they’ve done to Miranda.
My mother spent 41 years (1950 to 1991) in media and attested to their degraded, sex-crazed minds. When Corey Feldman first stepped up to the microphone and openly accused Hollywood of sexualizing children and indulging in paedophilia, he was crucified. In 2017, Corey spoke out again about being raped and that it was common in Hollywood. Then, in 2020, Ricky Gervais told Hollywood what he thought of their paedophilia. Look. Get mad if y'all want. But, this is what Hollywood is filming. At this point, should we believe they actually "care" about our interests or, do they want to be depraved fools?
I'm shocked at the older women I've ran across who think it was OK. I don't recall ever thinking a teen was hot, and I don't think it's something women with any decency would do. I won't even objective male strippers abd they expect it.
Sarah Jessica Parker was recently quoted as saying that she won’t allow any dialogue in the script that didn’t actually happen to one of the writers. So there you go. The show is written by a bunch of perverts, so we get this disgusting crap.
It should not be about them. Its about the original characters
That or shes a big ol liar cause if I were in this id address the horrible lines.
Oh god, that's so disturbing
@@marig9236exactly like what are we doing here.
I’m starting to think all of Hollywood is bunch of perverts.
Season 1 Sema - wasn’t she supposed to be a strong independent woman who went against social and cultural norms?
Season 2 she freaked out about her hairstylist and panicked about her purse!
What is this character!?!?
I blame SJP and MPK
....AND, am I the Only One who see that just because she's Indian, she swarthed in BEIGE, like ALL THE TIME!!??? ...brown, dark brown, beige, leopard prints....JEEZ!
@@RBS_ THIS!!!
Well, she was still whining about not having a "boyfriend" last year. As if a well off realtor in the luxury market doesn't meet tons of men.
I could not believe that they went there with the teenage boy. The network should fire the writers for that. And the actors for that matter. They agree to a script where a child is predated upon? Seriously.
If this show was, perchance, written, produced and acted with conservative people and they did this sloppy writing and women oogling young boys, you better believe we would be hearing it over the rooftops, The View and all the other liberal pundits and politicians would be screaming and demanding the show be taken off the air and we’d have to listen to their self righteous outrage.
Hollywood’s obsessions with teen sex is so perverted. It’s disgusting and I’m so over it. It’s gross
Exactly, I cringe at every teen show. I won’t watch them because all they do is hone into their sex lives. Should they even be having sex lives?
They keep telling us that they're coming for our children. It's time we believe them.
It's so hebephilic, isn't it? I was exposed to cinematography from all over the world and what pleasantly surprised me in other countries is the focus on adult characters. Sure, there are many movies and shows about teenagers too, but it doesn't reek of obsession with teenage sexuality like it does in Hollywood.
Well, according to woke world pedophilia is acceptable, soooo smh.
That the writers producers actors network all greenlit this ---they are all desensitized to harming children. Chilling for them and for all of us. JEN well said🎉
It was apalling and gross thanks for watching Susie
It's so sad because back in the day SATC was such a cool show... Now they're trying to spoon feed us this garbage...
Anthony is the only character who resembles SATC as far as being consistent with personality, etc. He is great in the majority of his scenes. The rest is a moribund mess. They are murdering the SATC legacy one episode at a time. A hate-watch lovers fest!!!
True, the only remaining likeable character is Anthony. They totally destroyed Miranda's character
@@sy_dianne5224 she used to be one of my faves. … and just like that, she went from lawyer to loser. 😎
Carrie hasn’t changed but Miranda is a train wreck and so unlikeable. Carrie is also beautifully dressed. Charlotte’swardrobe is atrocious.
Anthony should be given more camera time than Che. He has been apart of the show for a long time. Plus, Anthony fits in with the age range of the other girls. It should show him trying to find love. If we have to stomach Che, they should only pop up every now and then.
I love Anthony!!! He was the only consistent one.
I don’t watch the show because it’s to bad. But I can’t miss your reviews because it’s so good.
Oh wow thank you! I feel like it was impossible to make this one fun.
Im the same
@RealHousewivesRecaps are you going to carry them on? I totally understand why you're so disgusted with this show and feel it difficult to go on but your reviews are why I follow your channel. They are also one of the only reasons that I persevere with AJLT.
Guys, the bottom line is this: they don’t care that we hate it and we are grossed out by everything we see. ALL they care about is subscriptions and views of the show. That is it! As long as we all keep watching, even though we are all APALLED, they consider it a huge success and will probably create more of this TOXIC CRAP
I don’t watch this show; just here for Jen.
But I do remember that the Kim Cattrall drama had been slanted as a feud with SJP.
Seems it turns out to be this bizarre and unsavory plot line that an NDA prevented her from revealing.
You’re so right about the discussion we’d be having if guys were ogling a girl.
🤦♀️ 🤷♀️ 🙄
Harriet I appreciate it so much I really do. This is a hot pile of garbage. I can't even make it fun or funny. I am ready to switch back and make fun of H and M haha thanks!
@@RHRJen the H&am show writes itself haha-you and Jay just bring it to life!
Why would they have to have a NDA if they actually believed the story was good and could stand up to scrutiny or differing opinions? They must have known deep down that it was a horrible cringe storyline 🤷🏻♀️
@@MsGreenmermaid I’m just saying maybe Kim didn’t like the plot line but couldn’t divulge the real reason. Stars of series almost always have NDAs so there aren’t any spoilers.
They’re just rehashing old storylines. Samantha got her Birken bag as a symbol of her success. Carrie’s designer purse & shoes were stolen in SATC in a mugging. Seema’s prized Birken bag stolen in a mugging. Then the lamest, slowest robbery of Lisette’s jewelry. Thief didn’t disguise his face in a city & event that would have plenty of cameras. And we’re supposed to believe that Lisette has to start over & that the police won’t be able
to find the thief after so many people saw his face.
And she wouldn't sue the venue or security company, and no one has insurance? And she doesn't have drawings or plans for her jewelry? 🙄
I haven't watched episode three yet, but remember in Season one, the sex scenes with Brady and his girlfriend. They were disgusting as well! There is something wrong with these writers, mentally wrong!
The kids are insufferable and no one dares correct them. And then we wonder why society has gone to hell in a hand basket....but it's not like these adults understand consequences....
@@BalletifiedIt's not a scene you want to see 🤢
I agree I felt grossed 🤢out tbh I was thinking “ am I Supposed to be turned on by this ???😫🫠
This episode really cemented to me that Che is irredeemable.
The way they acted about Brady was atrocious
Exactly this!! I would tell any of my friends to dump the a-hole who spoke to them like that!
Miranda needs to grow a pair and tell "them" that her SON comes first!
Yes. But beware: NPK and Co will tell us we feel that way because we don't understand and are 'fearful' of Che. Eh? How patronising when can only react to what the writers give us
If they're not setting up Che to be a huge villain, they're hypocrites. Big was never this bad.
Also I thought she'd hit her mark as a witch in hocus pocus 😂😂😂
I came for ‘And Just Like That’, I stayed for ‘Hank & Skank’ and now I’m in the Drunk Goose Club, I’m never leaving!! Honk you, Jen!! Honk you very much!! Just watched ep. 3 and I’m dumbfounded, as usual. How are they getting it SO wrong, to such an egregious degree? MPK and his odious, woke gang of ‘writers’ need to honk off!!
Lucy I can't tell you what kind of horrible morning I have had its been a steaming pile topped off by this show... this comment has given me so many laughs and my first big smile of the day. Truly I can't thank you enough. They can all honk right off!! honk honk Lucy!

@@RHRJenI honk you, Jen. I really do! ❤
“Honk You!”on one side, “Honk Off!” on the other! 👏👏👏 I need a mug with that Merch Department! 🤣 SERIOUSLY!
I love everyone’s very creative use of the word “honk”- 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great recap, the honk you endure for us Jen 😂😂😂😂
It’s MPK and these new so-called writers. Sex and the City we loved NYC and AJLT makes me despise the people of NYC. I also can no longer stand Sarah Ramirez I think this Che person is her real persona
Exactly what I said in my comment. NYC is a cesspool.
I feel the same way! I loved SR in Grey's Anatomy, but now I'm not even sure I can go back and binge watch that series because they are on it. I always try to separate the art from the artist but this one has crossed a line.
I was giving the actual actress the benefit of doubt and summing it up to just being a role.....until I read about their personal life for the past 8 years. Sara Ramirez is Che Diaz.....was married to a man, got divorced, came out as non-binary, and life has revolved around that ever since. The only difference (no matter what they say in interviews) between the two is one is a comedian the other is an actress.
As for MPK...I looked up his resume once again to see that I wasn't crazy. This man can write. He wrote the best episodes of SATC, The Comeback, and Murphy Brown. He is capable of doing great work.....so what's going wrong here? There is something going down in that writer's room that we all aren't seeing that is jacking up this show....that and MPK's unchecked ego are truly destroying this show.
The HBO execs had to step in to get that Kim Cattrall cameo. I'm afraid of this show is going to be saved the same will have to be done for the writer's room, MPK, and a few other items. HBO execs will have to list several demands before they greenlight a third season.
Non-negotiables:
1. Kim Cattrall back as a main character OR recast with Sharon Stone. (Hear me out LOL). No exceptions.
2. Che is gone...no reduced role...no development....GONE. This is one of the most hated characters in tv history....a feat I thought impossible in 2023 but here we are. No redemption. We are at the cut your losses while you can point.
There are many others regarding diversity and storylines but those two are a must. I don't want this post to be several pages long.
To be honest after this episode it might be too late to even get it back on track. This episode was the final straw for many and viewership of the second season from the first is already down by 59%.
They’ve absolutely butchered our beloved show that I have literally watched on repeat for years. I could practically act out half of the original show/tell you the lines. This…this I don’t even wanna watch an episode twice, once is enough and makes me feel like I’m lying on a bed of nails trying to get through 🙄
Besides the lazy Birkin Bag plot line, we are supposed to believe Miranda was able to fool security into thinking she didn't own a phone, despite the fact 30 seconds ago she was in line yelling at Brady on her phone for everyone to see!
So...a Birkin bag is dumped, bit even hidden, and no one picks it up days later? It's fully intact and not damaged, and NO ONE touched it?
About as believable as Carrie finding the purse that the robber guy stole (along with her Manolos) in that one SATC episode.
Apparently that “baguette” made an appearance in AJLT, because everyone is supremely lazy on this show.
I love your sense of humor and how irreverent you are. I also appreciate your integrity and clear lines for what is wrong. What you've described in the story line this episode is DISGUSTING.
Thank you so much for the compliment. It was just hard to be fun in this episode. Ughhhhhh I want to go wash my eyeballs haha
@@RHRJenthank you for taking it seriously. This is gross.
I was disgusted about the scene where the grown women were all watching the kid walk down the hallway. But I’m not seeing people criticize the way the episode made COVID into a JOKE. That made me just as furious!!!
Faking covid seems on point to me. I bet there were heaps of people faking it, especially when government was paying them $700 for a week off work in Australia, even if you normally only got paid half that. No wonder our country is broke now!
I can really hear your disgust in your voice. You are normally so upbeat and positive. What you are reporting is right. Don’t apologise. I can’t imagine what they were thinking. It’s beyond sad and at my age, I wasn’t even that invested. I feel for those fans who loved these characters.
Here for the recaps. Thank you for watching this so I don’t have to! A visit to Rotten Tomatoes to give this crap the review it deserves is much needed. It is sickening!
Excellent idea headed there now
Yikes!! What would Natasha do. Not this. Also good for Kim for saying no. What are they trying to normalize.
I’m convinced we are in an alternate universe, and will be transported back eventually.
There’s no other logical explanation.
When Miranda was talking about hating her old life, work, etc… all I could think of was her line from the second movie
“Sometimes, as much as I love Brady, being a mother just isn't enough. I miss my job.”
She loved her job. She was proud of it.
If we could take SATC Miranda, introduce her to Che, she’d have absolutely no interest.
The new Miranda I do not recognize.
I applaud her for actually being a mom this episode.
I agree with Everything you said Jenn. Thank you for being our support system through this.
Hearing adult women get curious about what minors think of them in bed is disgusting 🤮🤮🤮
No one has anything good to say about this show. Bad reviews all over RUclips. I suffered through the first season, barely.
The first season is light and fun compared to whatever this is. Paige you made a smarter decision than I did haha thanks for watching.
Well, under the RUclips ad for the show, there are hundreds of rave, four-star reviews. What a crock. You better believe those are all paid shills Trying to deceive the public to sign up for Max, thinking they’re actually getting quality show
@@RHRJen I had to watch the first movie just to get the bad taste out of my mouth. How the mighty have fallen.
@@RHRJen This show was terrible but still semi-fixable....UNTIL this particular episode.
HBO execs stepped in and demanded Kim Cattrall's cameo and unless they do the same for other aspects of the show there is no way this should be greenlit for another season. Somebody has to step in to put MPK's ego in check. The only people that can override MPK, SJP, and that damned writer's room is HBO. Sad it's come to that. Knowing MPK and his ego he will probably say screw you and try and take the show to Netflix. 😂😂😂
It’s time to call for a boycott of this horrific show. Don’t watch
That's what I'm thinking. Don't waste another brain cell on this garbage!
💯
I agree, the creators don't care why we watch it and how much we loathe it, as long as we keep watching it, they'll keep desecrating the original. I know, it's fun to lambast it, but it's just not worth it.
I don't watch this crap at all lol...just the recaps of this mess on this channel.
I really enjoyed Carrie and Bitsy’s conversation about grief, “the hole never fills but new life grows around it” got tears from me, I thought they covered grief this episode better than any episode last season. But everything else was trash.
That line from Bitsy stopped me in my tracks and I had to write it down. Agree about everything else.
@@UsernameVincent 🤣 hahaha that’s funny! I am currently going through the grieving process and the void left behind by my loved one is all consuming, I found the phrase helpful because of that.
It’s such an eloquent line that they must’ve nicked it from somewhere else.
@@cra2y8a8y I agree! Some of the drivel they come out with then there was this line that made a lot of sense.
@@TheCouchPotatoWatchesTV Sorry for your loss. My mom died a month ago. Up until today I was existing in a grief fog. I agree, that scene was great. Bitzy looks super too.
Haven’t you heard? It’s 2023 - joy and fun are out.
I think the writers are living vicariously through the characters. In real life, 50-something women are not ogling teenaged boys, and the boys are definitely not interested in these old cows. Jen, we don't want you to be depressed by this show 😢.
It's just starting to seem not worth it for reviewers to bother with this thing. If they reversed the genders and a lot of fiftyish men were ogling a teenage girl, how long would it be on the air? Who would lose their jobs? As we used to say in the '60s, what a downer.
I guess I'm enjoying the few redeemable moments and am hopeful that it will somehow approve. I can't stop watching it because I have FOMO if I stop watching it and it gets better. Or it's just a train wreck.
I'm a woman in my 50's and I don't drool over teenage boys. I would feel like a perv if I did!
Teenage boys absolutely fantasise about older women
You are so brave literally to be watching this horror show and its just shocking that this 2nd and no doubt last season of this horrific show is worse than last season.Just watching your recap not watching this show!! Thanks for watching this I can only imagine how horrible these episodes are wow!
Thank you! This show is breaking my brain.
Ah, go on... it's fun to hate watch it and snark to other people about it.
R.I.P. Miranda Hobbes. You were once a Harvard educated pragmatic lawyer who knew herself and what she did and didn’t want with a dash of cynicism about romance…who knew how to work a phone
Hollywood is showing us who they really are.
All a bunch of pervs
Let's be honest Samantha made sex and the city what it was. I was done after kim c left.
I just can't get past Charlottes face to focus on anything else - but the story lines with Miranda are cringe worthy enough. I think "Charlotte" has had filler in her jaw and chin, or a chin implant put in that throws off the whole look of her face. I mean yeah the cheeks are puffy from filler, but the chin and jaw tweek has really made her not so attractive anymore.
Same thoughts. I wish she just age gracefully. All what she done on her face makes her looks older.
It looks better than the first season's face. She looked like she was wearing a mask of her own face. All the fillers have settled down a little but she still has that botox slur.
She really made a mess of herself. She used to be pretty.
She looks insane
Kristin Davis has ruined her once beautiful face. She would’ve aged gracefully. You can tell that even if the person is young. She now looks more and more like that cat woman who had too many plastic surgeries in the 80/90s. Disgusting.
AND Just Like That they lost any shred of dignity & self respect 🙄
I was a freshman in college when I first first watched the series. All I wanted to be was Miranda. I cannot believe what they’ve done to her character
I know! Miranda was always my favorite. I don't even know who she is now.
I agree with you 1000%. This episode was sooooo aweful it was painful. The only accomplishment the writers succeeded at was to make me actually feel bad for Miranda….. it’s pretty sad that the only reason this show has any semblance at success is because most people watch it only to witness the horror of it.
I couldn’t watch the show. Charlotte’s plastic surgery is like cringing over Courtney Cox’s plastic surgery. They are grandmother age now, i don’t want to be ageist, but it’s time to grow up. I can’t handle hearing about Miranda. And knowing Chris Noth has sexual assault charges ruined the original show. It’s too woke!
Please note nothing came of those two charges-2004, 2015, other than smearing him, with no chance to clear his name. I hate that it’s ruined the whole show for you.
You have to put things into perspective. One always has to wonder about assault accusations when the offender is famous. I know it sounds bad but there are people who will do anything to become famous even if it’s only for 15 minutes. Quite often it is found they never even met the offender or they had a photo taken with them when they caught the person out for the evening.
Suddenly once they come forward, everyone wants to talk to them, which makes them feel important. Chris has always had a high profile in the public. He lives in NY and owned a nightclub there so it would be common place to see him out and about. He was an easy target and made even more easy by being on a hit show.
If something had really happened, like with Weinstein, he would sitting in prison right now. The fact he isn’t is a good indication nothing like what was alleged ever transpired.
Repulsive is another word for disgusting. I’m glad I’m not watching and wouldn’t be upset if you stopped as well. I love your channel and will still support 💜.
It feels like they have sucked out everything good from the show now left at a complete Shell…. For me, this show is a disgusting Cannon… for me, the story ended with the movie number two… everybody having their partner, kids living happy and thriving and girls just walking into moonlight❤ bless you for doing these recaps
Thank you so much for this comment you are so spot on!
The second film as cringey as it was in certain parts was way more enjoyable
@@chrispeplinski7306 oh yes… it was cringe fest , but at least at least there was a beautiful cohesive ending where everybody has their moment
The second movie was awful but after the first season of AJLT, it actually made me like that move. LOL. Although they did Sam dirty in that movie. No way would Samantha fly all the way to Abu Dhabi and not research the area/culture/entertainment etc before she got there. If Miranda hadn't have had a plan, they would have what, stayed at the hotel pool all day for the whole week?
@@DivineREDxo exactly exactly the good part though all of them got a happy ending 🥹
Charlotte/ K. Davis blaming everyone else for her face, Instead of blame everyone else for having an opinion (you are in the public eye) blame yourself for giving into the pressure of your industry. You could of aged with grace and set an example for women.. Instead you do this then blame others who don't like the results. Nay, nay. She was naturally beautiful and I'm sorry she spoilt that.
Charlotte is starting to have a bit of a Markle vibe to her.
She ruined her face. Her fault and of course people talk about it!!!
Never heard of this show, but I am disgusted that this topic would be seen as okay. Seriously?? It's NOT okay! Why would the writers go toward them or anyone being pedophiles!? Sick.
Because that is the AGENDA of the media overall. The media is under the umbrella and direction (undisclosed of course) of the federal government's backers and funders. It was created to entertain, distract, and influence the perceptions, beliefs and values of the population. EVERY show incrementally goes bit by bit in the same directions. This show just jumped straight into the deep end. The only way to stop this or at least get a show cancelled is through public outrage. Recall the mtv show that was all about teenage s#cuality(sp) and was too much too graphic and parents' groups protested and the show was cancelled. That's what we can do. Express our disgust to the network and media. This channel is doing just that. Kudos to you, Real Housewives Recaps!! .
Because that’s the goal. Normalizing brutally sexually assaulting and raping children. They’re putting it right out there. It’s not ok and if it’s tolerated soon it will be normalized like the rest of the twisted disgusting agenda
Children having sexual relations with adults is wrong end of story.
@@Maria-vv7zv If this was a group of single, college aged women it would be one thing checking out a guy a few years younger. Still weird but not nearly as offensive and disgusting as married women in their mid 50s who have children as old as the kid they were checking out. I cannot imagine anyone that age doing that let alone a group of women. Someone in their group would have called them out on that. Whoever thought this was funny should be fired.
I can’t believe this is what my former go to show (in the good old days) has become. When Big died and Miranda dumped the most patient and tolerant husband in history, I said goodbye. Stop punishing yourself - walk away!
Carrie is lucky to have friends support her through her grief. My boyfriend passed away two years ago and I was alone. “Friends” were dismissive when I took them up on their offer of “If you ever need to talk, I’m here,” and my mother yelled and me to get over it.
That’s horrible. Sorry for your loss.
Omg I'm so sorry to hear that. You deserved so much better!!! May you find peace. I'm sorry for your loss.
There are no grownups in the writers room.
THANK YOU!!! For not going along with their disgusting pedo crap! Love you now! It's not ok and its not funny about the high school boy. Thank you for presenting it as a normal human and the wrong that it is!! Thank you!
I think I missed the episode where Miranda got a traumatic brain injury. Why does she act like someone who is on planet earth for the very first time? She can't figure out how doors work or how phones work, and she seems to think that her 19 year old son's break-up is a suicide emergency??? And don't get me started on a bunch of 45 year olds drooling over some 16 year old boy.
They are supposed to be in their 50s now. Even worse.
Well I would also have gone home to be with my son in that situation, however her behavior otherwise is indeed strange
@@supowell1 I think SJP is 60 years old.
More like 55
everyone steals an expensive and rare bag just to leave it in the bushes. Jen this is beyond lazy writing.
Right!! The Birkin was worth more than what was inside of it!! Lol, dumb criminal!
I only watched about 5 min. & I was DONE! I was so happy to see your video, I felt redeemed! Thanks Jen!
Thank you so much Sandy!
@@RHRJen You are welcome! And, you're also not wrong! I thot I was having a stroke! 😊
How did this get a second season when other shows appear to get cancelled so easily?
Because people keep hate watching this 💩! 😂
Probably finished filming before the merger that’s why it was release if it was barely announced when the new owner of hbo probably would have cancelled this due to cost cutting. Now of this gets a third season no clue.
Omg, this episode was literally shocking. I’m absolutely dumbfounded. Painfully boring, depressing, inappropriate, horribly written, horribly acted, ugly fashions, and so on. I said the exact same things that you did about this episode to my husband. I don’t care about even one of these characters. Shame on everyone involved in this trash and the tarnishing of a once beloved show.
Please don't stop you literally made my day. You vocalized what my mind was screaming!!!!!!
Wow, I can hear the pain and frustration you're feeling regarding this show. I've never watched this show, but for you to come out and say this show is no good, I BELIEVE YOU. You are a person who has strong convictions and if you say something is wrong then I'm going to listen! I love you for your honesty and fun-loving videos and when you throw up cautions regarding ANYTHING, I'm going to listen. Thank you for your honest opinions and the care you have for others. ❤ You're amazing, girlie.
To (somewhat) quote Samantha:
"Sorry honey, but that Birkin is not turning up anywhere
but a pawnshop in Brooklyn".
....AND, we're supposed to believe Seema finds it on an UPSCALE NEW YORK street, that doesn't get spiffed up, by the HOUR!? ...for TWO DAYS!? ...eeesh....
I got $5 says MPK gets a visit from the FBI in his future.
Another good word if you don’t wanna keep saying disgusting is “repulsive,” which is more than fitting here.
Ooo let’s all give her adjectives.
Here is mine: Nauseating 🤢
In the first season, we have Brady having sex with his girlfriend all over the house apparently and they were in high school, correct? And what is with Miranda who was always been a strong, independent woman, a fierce lawyer fiercely about her friends, and she leaves everything and runs off to be with Che? Remember when she had such a hard time with Teri going to Paris with the Russian. None of this makes sense.
Have you all noticed that Hollywood in recent years has done that with almost everything that fans love? Star Wars, Little Mermaid, Indiana Jones, Lightyear(all Disney BTW). They’ve taken every bit of joy, every happy ending and crapped all over it. Then they try to spoon feed us woke , depressing BS down our throats and are shocked when we don’t go to the cinema or turn off the TV. Well boo boo for them. I haven’t watched TV in almost 3 years. Great content creators like Real Housewives Recap are my entertainment now.
Stop buying their products and it will stop. Just stop.
and the talentless, tasteless Harkles want to do the same thing, plagiarising a Dickens' classic !!
Amen and amen
Sounds like worse that ‘woke’ sounds closer to depraved.
Right
As a high school teacher the theme of the parents being attracted to that KID, so gross!! And yes Che is the worst of the worst! When are the writers going to listen to us?!? Do they want an audience? The problem is the episodes don’t have a theme anymore, the scenes have no point
No, the writers want to patronise us and tell us what to think...🤮
The story lines are so all over the place. Every episode has a different plot. The original show had a storyline and every episode was sort of a continuation of the episode before. But it’s a mess I agree 😊
It sounds awful! I'm not watching it, but I look forward to your recaps. It's a shame they've made such a mess of this series. I have lots of thoughts on it, but I'll just keep those to myself. Thanks, Jen! Side note: I watched all the way to end of your recap. If you're not feeling it, don't torture yourself watching. I found you through the recaps of last season, but I'm not going anywhere!
Hiiii Brooke thanks so much for watching it is nice to hear from you. Season 2 is so much worse than the first I am actually in shock about it
At this point I’m only going to watch the season finale so I can see the Samantha cameo (which I don’t really have high expectations for), that’ll make it some kind of worth it
I've tried numerous times to watch this season and I've fallen asleep every time.
Kari that is the much smarter choice haha thanks for watching
@@RHRJen Season 1 of AJLT was bad. This season is obviously boringly bad as I can't stay awake. I used to love Sex in the City, it was my go to viewing every week, every season. I even loved that I'm a Cari too (even though I'm with a K) Now I'm 🥱😴
I didn’t really find the “milf” thing offensive, I just found this entire episode to be a giant snooze fest. And that Carrie scene lasted forever. And the acting and editing in this episode was atrocious.
I'm so glad you feel the same way as me! I watched the first 3 episodes in disbelief! I can't believe the first conversation of the series was about poached eggs and salmon! I can't believe Miranda is still 'acting' like a limp lettuce. I can't believe Che is still in it! The writing is so awful and the actors all look bored, they're not even trying! Charlotte is being shoe-horned into the series, they can't even be bothered to give her a storyline! It all feels so lazy. They have added all these extra characters and now there is no room for anyone to develop and grow. I just don't care about anyone in it anymore. But I'm happy to see that you and all the people commenting on here feel the same. At least I'm not alone!
They've had a year to write the show (since the first series) and this is the best they could come up with?
I agree. They have added four new characters to this show and there are only 10 episodes a season. There isn’t much time to develop a good story line for each new character, plus the originals girls.
As somebody who was sick with Covid in October, I am DISGUSTED by Carrie’s storyline in this epi! I could barely get out of bed for an entire week. 😒
Me too
By the time Brady gets back to NYC and see's his Mom, Miranda, its been maybe up to four days since he and his GF broke up. He starts bawling uncontrollably and lets be honest unrealistically at this point. Just another emasculating man scene. Its so over the top and obvious. 🙄
It was just utterly appalling 😢, I feel ya.
Outside of the obvious problematic behavior, isn't it weird that a bunch of 50 y old moms act like they never seen a somewhat good-looking teenage boy in their entire life? Or is this how they act every time like they just landed from Mars or something?
Thank you for speaking out. This episode goes too far into scary disturbing territory. Wtf. No way to make it make sense imo. You did the right thing addressing the issue and each character rather than a chronological recap. Thank you - love your channel and your goose voice ❤ I’m trying to see if the media has reported on this episode yet? I truly feel someone needs to held responsible.
I have never watched this show but this is an example of how the world has crossed sexual boundaries. They do it first in the entertainment field. Saying its ok to have sex with teenagers and kids.
I am so grossed out by this episode just imagine if a group of dads were doing the same it would not be ok, but the "writers" think this is hilarious
I think it's become clear that we were always watching the others waiting for Samantha's scenes but didn't realise 🤷♀️
Wow, why did they do this ??!
Me and my girlfriends were all in our early 20s and grew up with SATC, but the new show is so sad it makes me angry that they could make this show so horrible. I havent watched any of season 2. I totally agreed with your recaps of season 1, so I'm pretty sure I'm going to feel the same with season 2. So depressing!
Sadly Jen, I think the characters ARE relatable..but only to certain people, the ones most of us want nothing to do with, but seem to be being pandered to for some totally inexplicable reason (to me)
Yay, another reality check from Jenn for Michael Patrick King!!!
I woke up this morning to watch the show and I put on your recap right away to hear what you had to say.
This show is awful and SO unrealistic. Are we really supposed to believe that Carrie’s realtor is going to lunch with Carrie’s friend’s friend Sema?
A Birkin in the hand is worth two in the bush
