That jazzy saxophone, that pink tutu, that careless city bus — “Sex and the City” was iconic from the opening credits alone. The groundbreaking HBO dramedy made TV legends out of its core quartet (Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall) as it followed four fierce New York women through loves, losses and lots and lots of cosmopolitans over six seasons and 94 episodes.
The Darren Star-created series spawned two follow-up films as well as a CW prequel (“The Carrie Diaries”) and an HBO Max sequel (“And Just Like That…”), but those expansions pale in comparison to the fabulous original, which is celebrating its 28th anniversary this month. In the years since viewers first encountered Carrie Bradshaw and Co., “SATC” laid the foundations for many women-centric television shows to come, from “Girls” and “Insecure” to “Younger” and “Emily in Paris.”
So, in honor of that enduring legacy, we think it’s high time to revisit all six seasons of “Sex and the City,” which are all available to stream now on Netflix, but not for long. “SATC” will leave that streaming service on June 30, so here’s why you should binge the stylish adventures of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha before then.
