I didn't know it was so good!

I began watching SATC when a girl at work lent me the 3rd season. I laughed, laughed, laughed! I was absolutely astounded by these 4 women's beauty, talent, sense of timing and realism. I was like a fanatic - each night, coming home from work excited at the prospect of watching the next episode. When finished, I went on line and bought the first two episodes. I finished them and loved them both. I then went to Costco and bought the 4th, my favorite. I wish I would have started out watching from the beginning but I don't watch much TV due to lack of interest at what is out there. I very rarely laugh at TV; I found myself acually holding my sides at times. (I'm a hard sell) The episode where Samantha was crying in the stall of the women's bathroom with the rest of the girls beause her man's anatomy was like a "gherkin" absolutely killed me. I don't know how the writers can pull this show off. I've never felt so at home, so in touch, so close to characters in my life. I've seen just about every situation in real life they speak of (excluding some of Samantha's sexcapades). I have 3 most favorite episodes. The episodes that come to mind as most memorable is when Carrie took Aidan's dog out and lost him in the rain; (how did she run so well in thoe stiletto heels??) I felt her agony at deceiving Aidan - he potrayed the kind of guy we'd all like to have and he loved her so much. (this was the 3rd season) The 2nd one was Miranda's loss of her mother. Cynthia Nixon is so underrated. I think her acting abiliy and sense of humor is the best. She can do either flawlessly. I hope to see her doing more after SATC is over. But my most favorite episode of all, that just grabbed my heart, was the final episode of the 4th season. From the opening dialog which magically puts you in the Autumn season as Carrie gets a blanket and snuggles with it signalling the coolness of a new season, to the closing where she picks up a fallen leaf and proceeds to walk confidently across the street as a brand new season in Carrie's life, was such a perfect ending to a perfect season. I can't remember being as touched as I was when Carrie went to Big's apartment only to find he was moving to Napa. It's probably the best I've ever seen the both of them look. When he put on Moon River and they took each other's hand, that was one of the most captivating scenes I have ever watched. The words to the record was made for them, 2 drifters - we're after the same, rainbows's end, waiting round the bend, my huckleberry friend, moon river and me. Oh, I just get goose bumps thinking of it. They have such chemistry and such a great friendship entwined in love. When she turned around to look at him in the carriage, she looked ravishing - and if that's not love in those eyes, I don't know what is. Her whole outfit that episode was to die for, even wet shoes! I love the whole cast, they, in and of themselves, their ability to play off each other so wonderfully, make the show the marvelous show that it is. Touching, funny, shocking (funky spunk!), sad, but most of all... real..... Everyone out there can identify with one of these characters at one time or another in their life. Carrie conveys that even a successful, beautiful, size 2 can also have her heart broken. I hope, hope, hope, Carrie and Big finally get together and I hope Steve and Miranda do also. We know Samantha will forever be Samantha. I love these characters, I love this show, I will be so sorry to see it go but I can just pop any of the DVD's in any old time and be right back to laughing or crying, whichever I feel like doing at the time.
Thanks Darren Star, thanks Michael Patrick King for giving us such an awesome show!!!!!

Come For The Sex, Stay For The City...

I began watching Sex and The City last year when I got the first season on DVD as a birthday present. TV shows on DVD always seemed like a wonderful idea to me, so I began watching this series hoping to find something to indulge myself in. What I found was amazing. It only took me two days to get through the first set. I imediately rushed out to get Season Two and watched that in about a week. Thankfully for me, it was only about a month or so until Season Three came out. I watched season 3 savoring it as though it were my last breath of air. Since then I have seen a few episodes from Season Four (mostly the end of the season) and watched the disappointing 5th Season on HBO. I recently found out that you can download sex and the city episodes on Kazaa, but I'd rather wait and watch carrie & co. on the finest format available. I know my review wasn't very helpful as far as reviewing Season Four, but if you find yourself coming across this and you haven't ever seen Sex And The City, I urge you to drop whatever you're doing and pick up the first season. It's as good as everyone says it is. I can't imagine anyone not being able to identify with one of these four characters, if not all of them. The show is funny, refreshing, touching, smart and very endearing. At it's best, its all of these at the same time. The performances are wonderful, the cast is the best and the storylines are both very realistic and very addictive, making every episode of Sex as memorable as the first.

This Man Like Sex and the City

Sex and the City rules from a male perspective. I started watching Sex and the City with my mother when it first aired and have not be disappointed by the show. This review is based on the whole six series of SATC. All the main characters are honest, funny, and shares a similar desire. Carrie's character is a sex columnist for a newspaper. Carrie uses her own personal experiences as well as her girlfriends experiences to compose a column about men, women, sex, and relationships. Samantha is extremely sexually active women who works in Public Relations. Miranda is smart, self assured lawyer who is cynical which leaving her to fake her emotions about relationships. Charlotte is prim and proper Park Avenue women who goals are to get married and have a family.

The reason why I like SATC is because it give a comedic version on sex and relationships. No matter what happens to your own social life, you can watch SATC and share the same humorous episode of what Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte did, and learn to laugh a upon at your own situations. These six series will be treasured and revisited by me.
