It's actually unhinged how many minutes off the top of the pilot were devoted these characters we will never see again and not the ACTUAL main characters of the show.
I think it brilliantly set up the premise. It draws u in immediately and hooks you. Because we've all either experienced it for ourselves or know someone who has 😂
Not to spoil the show but my favourite quote from it is literally what you're saying about equating friendships to meaningful relationships at one stage Charlotte says that maybe they are soul mates and the guys are just people they can have fun with and it's so beautiful💕💕
It’s one of the best moments in the show!
Yes, or the last quote of the series when Carrie is talking in the narrator view: "The most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."
THIS is why I've always hated the ending with a passion! Why couldn't carrie have been single and happy with her friends instead of ultimately hooking up with some jerk who's put her thru all the ish she's gone thru!?!? It was such a cop out! I still get mad when I re watch the show. 😡
Yeah, I just wrote that but I didn’t wanna tell her who said it. Charlotte the Believer In Love ❤
вроде мысль важная. но для меня любовь важнее дружбы. вместе с этим я считаю, что любовь всей твоей жизни должен быть тебе тоже другом..
As our late great queen once said, "A man comes into my life and I have to compromise?! For what? FOR WHAT?!"
Loved the energy of this video
Who was it?
@@sparklingdaisy3169I think it was Eartha Kitt.
@@oc038161It was. And her delivery is sooo beautiful!
@@oc038161It was! I quote this regularly, love Eartha Kitt!
There is actually a famous quote about friends being your soulmates! “Maybe we can be each other’s soul mates and then we can let men be just these great, nice guys to have fun with.” The way I love my friends and get so much joy from those platonic relationship is unmatched. I would never give that up even it meant being alone romantically. It's so fulfilling!
I could never watch this show because Carrie is so annoying. Someone could be dying in a hospital and she'd find a way to make it about herself and her failing relationship with an emotionally unavailable man
They both deserved each other with their selfishness
“…i couldn’t help but wonder, was my relationship to Big dying of terminal cancer?”
@@skunkskiestink6620 😂
@@skunkskiestink6620 I'M SCREAMING 🤣😭😭 that's Exactly how she'd say it.
The whole "expectations" and "settling" thing... I always think of this anecdote from Jonathan from Cinema Therapy. He had a client who came in complaining that he couldn't find a woman that he wanted to date and that his friends all thought his standards were too high but he disagreed. Jonathan had him write out the list of traits he wanted in a woman. Smart, sexy, confident, etc. Then Jonathan said to the client, "Okay, there definitely are women like this in the world. But imagine one of the women who ticks all these boxes. What would HER list of standards for a partner look like?" It finally clicked for the guy then. Apparently after he continued with therapy, he was able to improve himself more and hone in on the traits that were most important to him in a partner, and got to a more reasonable match of expectations. I try to remind myself of that - I know I'm a catch, but I still have things I need to work on, and I should be looking for similar partners, not perfect ones.
Love love love cinema dads theyre so healing 🖤
Finally someone reacts to this, and I get to experience it through someone else's eyes. It gets so much better after the first season. Season 3 starts the best years.
Girl I need to see you react to every single episode your rants are giving me life already 😭
11:52 yes in like one of the last seasons at which point they’ve all been through it, they are talking about “soulmates” and Charlotte of all people looks at all of them and says “what if we can be each other’s soulmates? And men can just be a bonus, nice guys to have fun with.”
Like yeah romantic love is great but if I would ever think someone was my other half it would be one of my besties. And I think having fulfilling platonic relationships has a carryover effect to improving romantic relationships because we shouldn’t be dependent upon our partners to meet _all_ of our emotional needs. PSA: Foster and nurture your platonic friendships people! It’s one of the keys to life.
11:55 yes, they do - many times throughout the show actually. Don’t get me wrong SATC very much explores dating and relationships but it is highlighted how important these friendships are.
Yes, I especially love the "Maybe we could be each others' soulmates"
The thing you have to remember with these shows is they are specifically addressing the opinions of that time. Opinions pushed by the media. The point of the show is to explore this. Its not trying to push a message.
The Carrie Diaries was one of my fave shows during the prime CW era😩😭
Welcome to the club! I’m still going through my second round of bingeing SATC.
Watching the show as a 13 year old vs 24 year old is very eye opening😅😅😅
Yes I used to watch this on a local channel when I was a preteen! Seeing the uncensored show as an adult had me shook 😅
I'm watching it. On season 3 and I loved how progressive it was for it's time! From genders to sexuality to dating... it's crazy how they predicted the future. But carrie is infuriating.. I'm happy that SJP said she and carrie wouldn't be friends because I love SJP.
But my favorite characters are Samantha, then Miranda, then stanford
The pilot is different then the rest of the show you gotta keep watching!!!
i find it so adorable that you watched carrie diaries as a teen and getting into satc in your twenties
Please keep watching this show! I've never watched it and had a lot of fun listening to your commentary!
I love Samantha because she really does have a strong sense of sisterhood, I personally feel like she’s the actual glue of the friendship in this series. Like if you ever watched the movies you’ll see how much she actually prefers to be with her friends more than her boyfriends.
It's crazy how much this show tried to portray itself as feminist but was just about a desperate woman chasing after an emotionally unavailable man for 6 seasons
в точку сказано. к сожалению ее больные отношения с Бигом многие девушки считают настоящей любовью...
Mmm not really. I think Carrie was the only character who did that. Miranda and Samantha ended up having great character arcs with their partners where they were the emotionally unavailable ones who ultimately opened up and entered into long-term caring and loving relationships. (I'm speaking about the OG series specifically.)
The Linda Fiorentino reference, she is an actress and they were referencing a movie she did in the early 90s called The Last Seduction. She was a femme fatale, good crime thriller
I am so extremely sat for this
Exactly let’s go!! So excited! Been waiting
heyy, im 26 too!! talk as much as you want tbh i was like "YES, EXACTLY!" for everything you said ahddsjfjs like i get this show is a product of its time but it really feels like another planet 😭
This show is so ahead of it’s time. It makes me want a strong girl friend group so bad. I know sometimes they revolve it around men but I aspire to have good friends like them especially when I’m older
Never watched this show, but I’m sat for you to talk about it ❤
nah gurl! soul mates are essentially how you described. there is no true "right feeling" as often strong feelings in he beginning can be indicative of your own trauma responsss being triggered in unlnown ways. youre so right: love is and only ever has been in action, actions of respect, compassion, kindness, care, etc. it isnt love if it lacks these things ultimately and ALL of love demands consistent effort- even if that effort becomes unknown via habit (: . our cultures have done a great job at selling the idea of love for corporate interests but sadly in doing so theyve misled and manipulated the masses as to what love actually is. now people will claim the love an abuser gives is "love" simply because the word is used. woof
please keep watching the rest of the series! from your commentary and justified rants, i feel like you will have so much more to say!
Gurl we need more sex and the city aaaaaaand hit us with the new love is blind
It's been a VERY long time since I saw the pilot (1998, to be exact). It's just occurred to me, watching this, that Carrie went from obsessing over one guy to immediately obsessing over Big.
ngl this the first video I watched of ur channel I loved ittt, I hope u react other episodes or smh!! you look soo fine on this vid girl
absolutely living for your consistent rants about men throughout the video, I e also never seen sex in the city so this is fun!
That’s how ingrained it was in society for women that a man was the ultimate prize. Thankfully, we’re moving away from that concept.
yess i love this!! i watched satc for the first time earlier this year also as a 26 year old, its crazy how relevant a lot of topics still are. excited for ur video essay on it!!
Your rants about men are my favorite thing about this video
oh i'm so excited for the video essay!! spoiler alert none of the complaints you had are gonna get better throughout the series if anything it gets worse 😭
YESS SHES WATCHING IT❤
I would just like to say, I just happened upon this video, and just a few minutes into the video, I’m absolutely loving you, you’re personality, and everything you have to say. You are just absolutely fantastic. Never change and keep on being the queen that you are!!!!!!
bae i actually needed this i fear. i’ve never been interested to watch it tbh but through u is sooo much more bearable
You’re STUNNING
Finally, my favorite comfort RUclips series. Shay analyzing tv 😌
Please keep posting your reactions !! This is my fave show 😭💓
One of my fav shows I've watched all season + movies twice and just recently watched "And Just Like That" which continues the show with the 3 of them (minus Samantha) and follows their women in their 50's. Please continue watching! I know it is problematic and Carrie is annoying af ngl but so good! Can't wait for an essay!💜
As much as I love a video essay, I liked watching this video with the show playing because lord knows it's been decades since I've seen this unhinged mess and I refuse to go back and watch it myself lmao so I had forgotten most of these plots points and this show really deserves to have every insane storyline analyzed lmao
I am SO HERE for this! Newish subscriber here (your Awkward reviews found me a while back). Its so entertaining to me how this show can be so relevant and completely outdated at the same time. Cant wait to hear your inputs, i hope you contine with the whole series 😊
You never miss with your takes I stg
I've also never seen Sex in the city and have always been curious 👀
The entire concept of 'settling' is a con because it assumes you have to pick someone. So many are thrilled to live on their own, so one would have to be really, really, really thrilled about someone to give that up. Women's lives without partners is a HIGH bar to get over, guys.
Omg who is this diva .. I need more
the level of excitement i had when i saw this video come up is unreal
Imma need a reaction/commentary for every episode 😭😩
you're so relevant !!!!!!! thank you for your work and for existing
Pls keep watching. This 1sr episode is not like the rest of the show. I don’t want to spoil anything but just know the friendships rule this show. Like “Girlfriends” show with Tracy Ellis Ross!!!! And the fashion 👌🏼
I lost it at „Is that Nara Smith?!” 😂😂😂
this was the first video of yours I've watched - it just popped up in my recommendations- and i have to say your energy is amazing💜💜
"I really thought that i would get a little more information about Big..." - carrie for 5 seasons and a movie
ma’m, the braids 😍
I love watching watching people watching this for the first time!
0:26 you should say so. We all should!
I watched the show came out and it was sooo good, such a game changer to the tv world… it gets a ton of hate now which is strange but it’s actually pretty accurate for how a lot of women move in this world tbh. Keep watching, I love SATC the tv show. The movies not so much.
”tired already”? girl be fr, u loved it 😅😅
plsss keep watching! I loved this
They were talking about Linda Fiorentino in _The Last Seduction,_ a kind of film noir movie. She was also in _Men in Black_ and other stuff. Just regular movies.
Perfect timinggggg!! I literally just finished the show myself
oh my god I loved the carrie diaries when I was a kid too!!! but no one knew about it when I asked omg 😭
I agree with perfect person! The “perfect” person cannot exist, I personally believe that the best qualities in a person is someone who is willing to try/ grow with
Or without me. The best thing we can do Is figure out what type of people we want in our lives especially with a romantic connection. Which is different for everyone !
Oh I loved The Carrie Diaries 😭 no one talks about it anymoreee
The first two seasons were definitely on the more experimental side of things. I think they wanted to have lots of characters in order to present as many sexual situations as possible. Then they realised having the four main characters be the ones in all these situations was enough. That’s one criticism people have that I hate - they slut shame and say these women will just sleep with anyone. But I think the whole point was to show all types of things that can happen on your dating journey. It was more hypothetical than anything. And it was revolutionary.
I can’t wait to see u talk about the model episode omg
I'm here for this commentary.
I was in my late teens/early 20s when this show first came out. To this day, aside from the fashion, I don’t know why we all loved this turd of a show
aw damnn I thought you were watching the movie. That limo scene gets me every time😭 the show on the other hand kinda scares me bc carrie’s like the main girl and she’s such a pick me.
my first time watching and ur soooo pretty you look like a 90s it girl! love watching girlies watch satc for the first time hope u enjoy :))
the way I gasped when I got this notification.
I find it interesting young women’s take of this show, versus gen x & older mil’s. I notice this with a lot of shows. When Gen z do watches for the first time. I will say I sometime think my agemates are a little over analytical of shows & movies from the past. I’m 26 as well, and I agree with a lot of the takes, but I also feel sometime we as gen z take some stuff too literal.. and in that way I sometime don’t like hearing som of these deep dives and also it correlates imo a lot to the issues we face socially as young ppl rn. Hope this makes sense lol
Hello, Sex and the City is a great show and it’s about friendships and relationships. Yes it does come up in season 4, I won’t say who says it but they say “Don’t laugh, how about we be each other soulmates and the guys can be just great guys that come along”
omg i just started rewatching it last night this came at the perfect timing!💕
i love Big Little Lies OMG 😫 a recap video of that show would be so good. The messiness… the drama the acting it all had me so gripped. i’m still holding out for a season 3 🙏😭 YESTERDAY reese witherspoon said that the author of the books is currently writing it so
Same. I think, that show started my life-long obsession with Mormons!
Was the second season worth it I feel like it started off slow and I became disinterested and stopped watching but the first season was really good!
I was 20 when this show came out and my friends and I ate it up. It makes me cringe now to think that we completely identified with these characters and their situations back then, and all of us wanted to be a “Carrie” and find our “Big.” Maturing is realizing that Big and Carrie’s relationship was toxic and exhausting not complicated and romantic, and that Carrie was incredibly self-absorbed and a terrible friend. And that Samantha was the real girl’s girl.
"double it and give it to the next person" hahahaah you're so funny I'm in looove
The situationship between Carrie and Big was so hard to watch the first season and gets worse throughout the series. It is such a mess but so entertaining to watch lol
When I started college in 2010, there was still a smoking section in a restaurant near my school. I thought it was crazy then but that’s how it always had been.
You’re so fine. And i love your commentary! You should definitely keep doing these series, the show’s worth watching. Subscribed❤️
MORE EPISODES QUEEN

Can’t wait for the video essay 😂 sex and the city is kinda problematic 😂😂 great video ❤❤🎉🎉
Enjoyed this commentary very much, looking forward to ur video essay🙂↕️
0:28 adore the blonde brows! You should do a pink or neon green. The green would give brat 😂🖤
omg i have that shirt ur wearing!! and also this is my favorite show ever but it pisses me off so bad im soooo excited for this
I’ve never watched sex & the city but I’ve seen many recaps of it. Idk how people can watch it now tbh , it was ground breaking at the time but holy moly. I can’t stand it tbh esp the “women of a certain age” UR 40 LIKE WHAT
Omg I love love your reaction 😂❤haha I just recently rewatched the show , please do more reactions 😊❤
I’m a new subscriber! Omg! I love your video!❤
