And Just Like That...

I am all in for inclusivity but omg is this show forcing it AF. Like... we get it, but can we please make it a bit more realistic? And also, a bit more about the main characters like in the old days?

It is so boring and unrealistic it hurts my eyes when I watch it. Everything feels so fake... fake characters, fake dialogues, fake situations...

I keep watching chapter after chapter hoping for a miracle but now I'm just hopeless with this show.

Also, could they embrace being 55 years old instead of making it all about death, plastic surgery, hip surgery,

It felt pretty nostalgic watching this and I don't think the writing is as bad as people are saying.

However, what ruined the show for me was the "wokeness" that just felt so forced and made me cringe. I think representation in film is important, but this is just over-the-top with too much focus on gender / racism / identity / discrimination. Doesn't feel natural. And that Che Diaz character who is supposed to add a humorous touch to the show is just so unfunny I almost couldn't handle it.

I miss the friendships from SATC. This is like watching vignettes, or independent snippets that occasionally cross story lines. The brilliance of SATC was the common themes across the separate story lines within each episode - and the women's conversations about the central theme - that made it so rich. AJLT ... is trying to be its own thing but it doesn't work. Too many characters, too many story lines and not enough substance. It's... boring and the acting, which used to be so damn good, feels exaggerated... not believable. I dunno... it's just not working and I'm sad because these are lovely and talented people.

I'm still trying to figure out if they intentionally made it this bad and uncomfortable to watch. It's just sad to watch a show that I loved so much become something this bad.

I started to watch with no expectations, a few minutes they have already spoke about every "social justice" subject they could cram in.

I am in my mid 50's and watching them act as if they are 80 year olds living in a bubble is hilarious.

Who are the awful writers? No wonder Kim Cattrall didn't want any part of it. She seems to be the smart one.

This is trying way too hard!!!
