SEX & THE CITY | & JUST LIKE THAT

[Sex & The City & Just Like That] When it comes to American entertainment, there is one HBO series and spin-off  that comes to mind and that’s “Sex And The City” “And Just Like That”. Both series do a great job at highlighting the lifestyles and intimate lives of the typical upscale American woman. Even more than that both shows also do a great job when it comes to highlighting upscale women's fashion. From the “sex-capades” of the main cast, to highlighting the social and relationship issues that women that fall into this category. “Sex And The City” first aired in 1998 and ran for 6 seasons. After two blockbuster films and a 2-decade long hiatus, the latest spin-off “And Just Like That” which spans 3 seasons proved that the ladies of “Sex And The City” not only still have it, but they have so much more to reveal as they get older.

Sarah Jessica Parker, who plays herself as the lead character in both series, is nothing short but a joy to watch on the screen. Our personal favorite Charlotte York played by Kristi Davis really stands out to us as she does a great job of not only keeping us entertained with her seemingly naivete, but she embodies femininity and bolsters a family life that many women in America aspire to obtain. Although it seems as if the entire world is missing the wild and sex crazed Samantha Jones who is played by Kim Cattrall, both “Sex And The City” “And Just Like That” fans are absolutely in love with watching Miranda Hobbes who is played by Cynthia Nixon struggle with her newfound sexuality after her divorce.

Outside of losing Kim Cattrall for the “And Just Like That” series, new characters such as Sara Ramirez who plays lesbian Che Diaz and Sarita Choudhury who plays Sema Patel, and Karen Pittman who plays Dr. Nya Wallace. Both “Sex And The City” “And Just Like That” tackles something that is known in America as “The Glass Ceiling” – from the perspective of American women. The Glass Ceiling is a socio-cultural phenomenon that adversely affects women and minorities in the workplace in which women and minorities in America find themselves unable to climb the next rung in the corporate ladder.

When it comes to American entertainment both “Sex And The City” and “And Just Like That” embodies what it means to be an upscale woman navigating through success, the world of fashion, heartbreak, sexual relationships, and marriage.
