Wow. This is such an excellent review and analysis. I agree with every word. Thank you for writing.

I am currently watching SATC reruns while on my treadmill and am shocked at what I am seeing today as compared to when the show first aired. I still enjoy it for all the reasons you highlight but if I count count all the times I said “ What? WTF?”… well, put it this way, if I had a dollar for each time, I would have a few new pairs of Manolos. ( I might be exaggerating just a bit🙄)

I am working on just a fun little food piece that will involve my current SATC re-watching. Now that I’ve found your essay, I will link it ( hope that’s ok) and will encourage others to read. Your words are so important, way beyond the TV series.
