Over
the years, I have heard so much about this TV series that I felt I had to check
it out. After watching so many shows written from the point of view of men, I
decided to look at the other side of the coin; it was a treat.
Sex
and the City tells the tale of four very different women in New York who have a
strong bond between each other; they are inseparable and they discuss
everything about themselves, be it shoes, clothing, men or sex. Throughout the
six seasons, we see these four gals evolve as people, as they get older, and
that is the nice thing about this show; the characters are not complacent.
The
four actresses playing the main characters are all very good in the respective
roles, to the point that they all feel very real. I have seen girls and women
like all of them (and many who are unlike any of those four also) and the
ladies all did a solid job bringing those characters to life. The men are
objects in this show, always desired but never a primary focus. Many times, the
male characters do not even have names, being only known by the nicknames the
girls use between them to refer to these guys.
Overall,
Sex and the City is a very entertaining show, in which sex is as important of
an ingredient as the city of New York. Through six seasons, you come to care
for these four characters and the world around them. It is a very daring show,
with coarse language and occasional nudity. Considering its name, you’d have to
say that you cannot make an omelet without breaking some eggs. Some episodes
are not as good, but, for the most part, it was a very good TV series.
