We discussed the potential risk of reviving a beloved work like Sex And The City: the potential for a twenty-year-later version to detract from the original. But since then, I’ve given this a lot of thought, and let’s face it, SATC’s reputation was already damaged (and not just because of my oft-cited SATC2).
The lavish Manhattan fantasy world of And Just Like That is pierced by a number of current events. The fact that Chris Noth has been accused of sexual assault by numerous women since AJLT premiered is the most upsetting. Willie Garson passed away from pancreatic cancer, and as we highlighted last week, his character’s exit from the series was hardly more than a plot footnote.
Of course, Kim Cattrall has been very outspoken about her desire to leave the SATC world and has made that clear in her statements. According to rumours, AJLT’s story really borrows heavily from the third movie’s script, which was shelved after Cattrall refused to participate.

This is unfortunate because Samantha’s absence significantly lessens the spice that made the first season of the sitcom so magical.
