‘And Just Like That’ is over, living ‘Sex in New York’ | Television

During the credit titles of the last chapter of And Just like thatthe goodbye definitive? To Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte, the tune of Sex in New Yorkthat 37 -second musical piece composed of Douglas Cuomo that we have heard at least 94 times those that we have seen the complete original series. That piece that, for those who enjoy the six seasons of Darren Starr’s work, served as a good omen, at the close of And Just like that (HBO Max) It only serves to remind us that, when it comes to Carrie and company, any past time was overwhelmingly better.

If someone thought that the last chapter of And Just like that I was going to upload the quality with respect to the rest of the series and to give a decent closure to the characters that we have known for more than 25 years was wrong in the same way that fans of Lost They expected the last chapter of the series to solve all open unknowns.

To close, And Just like that decided to do something that Sex in New York He always avoided: an episode focused on a calendar party, in this case thanksgiving. In the penultimate chapter of the series, Brady recriminated to Miranda to have decided to make his thanksgiving dinner something similar to a Hallmark telefilme and that is precisely what this cheesy and easy closure ends up.

That final carousel in which we pass through all the characters in their homes while “You’re The First/My Last/My Everything” – Aryly McBeal Sure has been scrambled in his Cathodic Pantheon and David E. Kelley in his mansion in California – is consistent with the series: he demonstrates the same laziness that he takes us offering three seasons. As if that was not enough, that Carrie’s last words in front of her computer are “the woman realized that she was not alone. He had herself” is the last nail in the coffin of the original spirit of this universe.

Because Carrie has not only had herself, she has had her friends. Since 1998. That’s how everything was going: the bride and groom went, the friends were always. That the series ignores this essential detail turns its history, under the cakes, heels and fabulous floors, in a spooky. The second carrie, horror. To forget this debacle we only have left, encouraged by the memory of tune, return to Sex in New York.
