I genuinely think it’s quite funny - I found the last episode with pain med Carrie really funny - I think the portrayal of the heartbreak of loosing a friend is accurate (what else where they meant to do about Samantha leaving?)

I feel that the first two episodes were a “woke explosion” of the writers being “LOOK WE LISTENED! WE ARE TRYING!” But I think by episode three it’s feeling like old episodes again? Remembering the original series was also heavy on cringe factor for humour.

And I know you addressed it but I kind of think it’s become kind of cool to complain about it - realistically what did we want or expect?

Agree. I really wanted to like this but I just rolled my eyes at nearly every 'woke' scene and there was plenty. It was so unrealistic and I don't care for the new woke characters as they seem to have been just planted. I did enjoy the movies, unlike most people. Will also still watch it, I don't know why but I've started so will finish. I never expected it to be amazing but I thought I'd like it. I hate the way the main women went from being confident and intelligent (miranda) to people who are terrified to put a foot wrong. Don't get me wrong I see what they were trying to do but it's as if they had to tick every single box ans failed. Watch Harlem on amazon prime. Reminds me of Satc but has an all black cast and is funny

I enjoy it. But there is a lot of second hand embarrament from some of the story lines. Also they made Charlotte very annoying. I'll continue to watch it also as it's weird as it's not the same as the old one I'm kinda enjoying it cos there is a small bit about their bumbling ineptitudeineptitude in these times that kind of remind me of me 🤦🏻‍♀️
