Uh so...
I actually really like this show. LOL It is a very problematic show, I don't agree with a lot of the really shitty things the show did, but it's not like Carrie or any of the characters walked away from their shitty behavior unpunished (a rich party girl who was past her party girl prime literally fell out of a window to her death; Carrie was severely punished for a lot of her shitty behavior). I didn't always sympathize with Carrie but I think that's the point. What I also enjoyed was that they normalized female relationships being complex. All 4 women didn't always get along. They called each other out. They got into arguments but they were never catty or petty arguments (fighting over the attention of a guy, jobs, etc). And it's OK to watch a show where the characters aren't always good or perfect. Like, IDK I think most people are inherently good and by the end of the show the characters became more well rounded and vulnerable people. Carrie started the show being cynical with the idea of love and romance. In the late 90s, was love even real? By the show's end, Carrie comes to realize that life is worth living because love is real. It's sweet. And I know people will roll their eyes at it but I really got in touch with my femininity with this show and I learned that it's good to have supportive female relationships (having come from a really patriarchal repressed family/community). Despite the show's title it was a show a lot more about the friendship of the four women than their love lives and that was always felt through in the show.

There are a lot of things that haven't aged well and elements of the show that still bother me a lot, but there are still a lot of great things about the show that has me going back to watching it again.
