A quarter of a century since Sex and the City first strutted onto screens in Manolos, Sarah Jessica Parker is back — older, sharper, and still closely tied to the character that became a cultural touchstone. With season three of And Just Like That now streaming, the series continues to explore the world Carrie Bradshaw helped define — only now through a more reflective, midlife lens. There's still brunch and designer shoes, but also grief, reinvention, and the quieter dilemmas of ageing.
It’s taken time to find its footing. The first two seasons were uneven — often clumsy in their attempts to update the show’s worldview and reintroduce its characters in a more socially conscious era. But this latest chapter lands more comfortably. It doesn’t try to recreate the energy of Sex and the City, nor should it. The characters have changed, the city has changed, and the show seems more willing to sit in that reality now.
