Four women, something in their forty discuss sex, relationship, and nanny problems. That’s ‘Sex and The City‘ in a nutshell, but it also gushes with a fresh wave of feminism. The spirit of the show is kept alive through its movies and a sequel which was renewed for season two in March 2022. It stars the same cast throughout the franchise – Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, Kim Cattrall, and Cynthia Nixon in the lead. Carrie Bradshaw (Parker) is at the center of the drama and the story follows her and the lives of her three friends simultaneously through their ups and downs.
The series is adapted from Candace Bushnell’s newspaper column and 1996 book anthology of the same name. Actually, for privacy issues, Candance changed the name to Carrie Bradshaw in the book. Indulging in each character’s life was definitely a guilty pleasure. As many shipped Carrie and ‘Big’, there were fans of Aidan being an endgame for Carrie. But to fans’ disappointment, Carrie and Aidan broke up.
