A New Chapter for Carrie & Co.
Gone are the days of carefree cosmopolitans and endless brunches—And Just Like That... tackles the complexities of midlife, friendship, and romance in an era of social media and shifting cultural norms. The series has been praised for its bold storytelling, addressing issues like grief, identity, and aging with a rawness that the original often sidestepped.
