I never really cared for this show, actually when I heard the title I thought it was some of those after midnight shows, but the first time I saw it, I was 100% hooked.
Well the story is about 4 independent women and very close friends and her lives (including sex lives, work, etc), and it wouldn't be called "sex and THE CITY" if it wouldn't involve such a wonderful city as New York, which for me, is another character, so many amazing places, it makes you want to go there. Anyway, the first girl, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), a writer of a sex column in a news paper, and in her lovelife there's always trouble. She seems to know a lot about sex and relationships but when it comes to show it in real life, she has a hard time. Our second lady and my favorite, Samantha Jones (Kim Catrall), The 'bad girl' of the group. She is a successful publicist, with a very, VERY active sex life. Samantha is the type of girl who lives the moment and doesn't plan her life, she does what she wants, and knows how to get whatever she wishes. The third lady, Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon), a successful lawyer and Carrie's best friend and confident, is the one with the most complex love life. She pushes everybody away because she's afraid of getting hurt, and has the most exquisite sense of humor with the right amount of irony and cynics. And last, but not least, it's Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) on the other hand, 'the good girl' of the group. She's the type of girl who dreams of being the perfect wife, the perfect mom, but being a shallow person doesn't help.
The stories are very clever, is not cheap or vulgar, it's really smart and it has great great performances, from the leading ladies and from the supporting characters, like Mr. Big (Chris Noth), Carrie's love of her life/villain, Steve (), Miranda's cute bartender and wonderful boyfriend, my favorite, Harry (Evan Handler) Charlotte's Mr. Nice Guy hubby, Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis) Samantha's super hot boyfriend whose actually sweet, and of course Stanford (Willie Garson), Carrie's gay friend. They all put a wonderful effort on the show and make it work just perfect. I also enjoyed a lot to see Mikhail Barishnikov as Aleksander Petrovsky and John Corbett as Aidan. Well the actors are the scent of this show, if they wouldn't believe their roles, this wouldn't work.
Well the plot is unpredictable, you never know what will happen next, and it's all because every detail has been taken care of by Darren Starr and Michael Patrick King who are indeed genius. They manage to make us laugh, cry, feel sorry or anger in the same episode. Not many people have that talent to make you live so many emotions in 30 minutes.
Anyways, I would just like to say, this show is unbelievable, it has everything you could like, excellent performances, clever dialogues, wonderful locations and unexpected situations, what else can you ask? ***** out of *****
