MasterChef (Band) presenter and fan of the series “Sex and the City”, Ana Paula Padrão, 56, didn’t like the new version named “And Just Like That”. According to her, she was angry about ‘spending a Saturday night on this idiocy’. The unreleased episodes are on HBO Max.
“If you’re 40+ or love old series you should meet Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha, the four Musketeers from the ‘Sex and the City’ series, released in 1998 and discontinued in 2004. And unless you’ve slipped into a coma on that date and you’re waking up now, don’t waste your time watching the two new episodes,” he began.
In Ana Paula’s opinion, months ago, when she saw photos of the actresses on set with gray hair and little botox, she imagined it would be an adult and modern script, but that this became an illusion as soon as she began to see the revival.
“Everything is disappointing: Princess Charlotte, who had the charm of being a little silly in her early 30s, turned into a squeamish and insufferable fiftyish woman. Miranda, apparently the most balanced, was transformed by the screenwriter into an uninformed bipolar person”, he says.
“Poor Carrie, such a vibrant and promising woman back in the early 2000s is now reintroduced to us as a copy of herself in the past, who refuses to mature and keeps the fetish out of fashion for her own high heels,” amendment.
The presenter calls the four characters “spoiled and lost” and even criticizes the inclusion of black characters. “It’s so cliché that it’s revolting. It’s a great opportunity to show how much the world has changed in less than 20 years and how our generation can be active in this transformation.”
“Sex and the City” wants to escape the trap of resurrecting a series. The sitcom about four friends in search of love and sex in New York has just been reincarnated as “And Just Like That”, whose first episodes are already available on the platform HBO Max.
The series creator, Michael Patrick King, insists that “this is another program”. “It’s not a new season of ‘Sex and the City.’ It’s a derivative of the original — similar but not identical. The characters aren’t the same as they were 20 years ago.”
