I almost died waiting for a FaceTime,” Seema (Sarita Choudhury) deadpans to Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) over ice cream in a sun-drenched Central Park, in Sex and the City spin-off And Just Like That. She’s recounting the indignity of dozing off, cigarette in hand, in anticipation of a call from her flaky boyfriend.

With a side order of maximalist fashion and ludicrous hats, of course.
