If the title doesn’t make it obvious, the Darren Star-created TV show “Sex and the City” hinges on the love (lust) lives of four best friends in New York City. Sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) leads the charge alongside her friends Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis).
The six-season 1998 series focuses as much on the women’s careers as it does each other and their sex lives, giving viewers a well-rounded female-led show that wasn’t incredibly common at the time — especially given that it centers on career women in their mid-30s and one in her early 40s.
