The final episode of And Just Like That, HBO Max's revival of the beloved Sex and the City franchise, has left many fans feeling disappointed. What was meant to be a triumphant return for Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte instead became a muddled, overly crude farewell that lacked the charm of the original series.
A Heavy-Handed Approach
The finale leaned far too heavily on shock value, with an excessive focus on toilet humour that felt out of place. While the original series was known for its witty dialogue and sharp social commentary, this revival often resorted to cheap laughs.
Missed Emotional Beats
Where the show could have delivered poignant moments—such as Carrie’s journey after Big’s death—it instead rushed through emotional arcs in favour of awkward subplots. Miranda’s storyline, in particular, felt underdeveloped and unsatisfying.
Fan Reactions
Social media has been buzzing with mixed reactions, with many longtime fans expressing frustration at the show’s tonal inconsistency. Some praised the performances, but most agreed that the writing failed to capture the magic of the original.
Final Verdict
While And Just Like That had moments of nostalgia, its finale ultimately felt like a missed opportunity. Instead of a graceful goodbye, viewers were left with a messy, uneven conclusion.
