And Just Like That, The Perfect Ending…….

 Spoilers

Now I have to be honest from the get go
I loved the last episode of And Just Like That……
After just nine episodes ( some of them very clunky) the season finally reverted back to the Sex Of The City of old and got back into its well paced and solid stride.
The finale closed a few doors and opened others


Carrie let go of Big and starts a new career and a kiss with her hunky promoter 
Miranda goes to Los Angeles for a few months to support Chay ( it will end in tears)
And Charlotte remains the frilly back bone of all after a disastrous Bar Mitzvah is made good.
Ok we can all do without the infertile Black Professor storyline but  the unapologetic Seema (Sarita Choudhury) is an energetic addition to the cast even though the men ( Steve and Harry) have been under utilised so far.

Anthony ( Mario Cantone) thank god is still blessed with all of the great one liners ( as well as a rainbow yarmulke ) and I loved Hari Nef ‘s introduction as the wise transgender Rabbi Jen. 
She stole the show for me.

Hari Nef as Rabbi Jen

And so we are set for season 2 …..and I hope there will be a season 2 
And after a clunky start I loved the fact that just after Carrie gently scattered Big’s ashes into the Seine , she arranged to meet with Samantha off screen in Paris for cocktails thus sort of reuniting the friends albeit long distance one last time
Samantha will not be returning we all know that , but with peace made everything can move on nicely
And that’s where the series gives all us 50 somethings hope 

It moves on nicely.

  3. I had heard that John Corbett would be back. Not this season? Then there must be another.

  4. I think that there seems to be so much more to this series than I ever imagined. Will have to watch it - from the very beginning :)

  5. I have my fingers firmly crossed for a showing on one of the platforms I have or terrestrial tv very soon. I may just have to go right back to the beginning to bring myself up to date ... just in case :-)

  6. Is there hope for us 50 somethings? Sounds like TV magic to me. I am not feeling it today.

  7. I'm glad you enjoyed this show, John. I've heard mixed things and as I'm sure I said before, I never really watched the original series. But it's great when we can be reunited with characters we loved in years past.

  8. Very good although the pink gloves at the end made me feel she might be going to wash a bowlful of pots.

    The first couple of episodes had me giving side-eye at the telly but I'm pleased to report that SJP did a fine job of toning it down and creating a more poignant characterization of Carrie. My tar black soul even teared up a few times!
