No, seriously....WTF Carrie?

Sex and the City (1998-2004) is a TV series created by Darren Star and produced by HBO. The show is based on writer Candace Bushnell‘s book, compiled from her column with The New York Observer. Set and filmed in New York City, Sex and the City follows the lives of a group of four women who, throughout their different natures and ever-changing sex lives, remain inseparable and confide in each other. SATC has multiple continuing storylines that tackle relevant and modern social issues such as sexuality, safe sex, promiscuity, and femininity while exploring the difference between friendship and romantic relationship. On the surface at least.

A deeper dive into its 94 episodes reveals a lurid tale, and perhaps even sinister motives, as it’s titular character traverses the urban terrain of an idealized New York with the same old tired patriarchal tropes.
