Adjectives accumulate to define the start of
And just like that
, the long-awaited sequel to
Sex and the City
: surprising, aberrant, risky, treacherous ... But as the series progresses the nuances appear and the bad is no longer so bad.
And as we learn of HBO's plans to "resurrect" more titles from its catalog of incunabula, the less terrible it seems to us that
Carrie Bradshaw has returned to our lives in her tutus and heels
.
But, is it a joke that this absurd outfit, the protagonist of the credits of
Sex and the City
, is referenced in
And just like that
in an almost cruel way with the character who wears it? Recently widowed and deserted, Carrie takes to the streets of Manhattan with an impossible skirt that clearly refers to the mythical tutu of the mythical headboard. However,
now the series shows how cumbersome and impractical a garment Carrie wears with a determination that is not parodic
.
And just like that
knows that one of the pillars of
Sex in New York
it was always their styles, that they were loaded with meaning and that any extension of the series should play that card. The two films with which the success of the series was capitalized took that to a paroxysm and made a fool of themselves.
And just like that
there you are careful and at the same time load the inks. Darren Star, creator of his universe, knows that in 1998 and in a thirty-year-old Sarah Jessica Parker, a tutu is spicy and sparkling, but

.

Issued as a whole, that double boot functions as a warning and a retaining wall against all of the above
. The series thus updates its premises and at the same time settles the absence of Kim Cattrall, the wonderful Samantha Jones, in the new stage. The problem is that not all the general parameters of the renewed fictional pact are acceptable: it is okay that Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) is a widow and is angry with the world, but ... was it necessary to idiot the extremely intelligent Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) that way?
There is in
And just like that
audacity and nonsense.
Her portrait of women overcome by a world that advances at a faster speed than they was the only viable option to recover characters that were born more than twenty years ago
.
Facing them so insistently to a reality in which they are no longer pioneers of anything works and at the same time is frightening.
That joke that now everyone has a podcast comes to the head of
And just like that
: in 2021 even Carrie gets in front of the microphone, between an Asian geek and a Latin woman of non-binary gender.
What a fucking funny comment Samantha Jones would make of that scene, by the way.
