5.) Carrie is also more of a prude than she ever was in SATC. And for a former sex columnist, she is not sex positive. In SATC, yes, she was always more conservative compared to Samantha, but she was always open-minded. Refusing point blank to talk about vaginal dryness, pegging and polyamory to the point of getting her podcast shut down is ridiculous, shaming and also sends out dangerous health messaging. As does her casual shaming of STDS.

6.) Bisexuality shaming. This was a problematic element of SATC, when all the women were openly bi-shaming in season 3, when Carrie’s boyfriend came out as bisexual. But clearly writers have not learnt from their mistakes. When Miranda breaks up with Che at the end of season 2 of AJLT and is considering dating men, Charlotte says to her: “You don’t even know if you’re gay. And as your very good friend of over 25 years, I think you should just figure it out.”

7.) The plotlines don’t make sense and they seem to have forgotten the past. Aidan demanding he and Carrie don’t see each other for five years because he needs to be with his kids. (Why so long? Especially at their age? Why can’t Carrie go and visit him in Virginia?) Carrie also says to Sima at one point that she’s never been one for taking to her bed when she’s depressed. Er, sorry? Does she not remember being holed up in bed in a darkened room at a luxury resort in Mexico for a week, with Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha waiting on her hand and foot, after Big jilted her at the altar?

8.) The fashion is laughable. Carrie’s closet in SATC remains iconic to this day. In AJLT they all look like they’re in pantomime or cos play of Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte most of the time and in one episode of the new season, Carrie is actually dressed as Strawberry Shortcake with the most ridiculous billowing hat.

9.) Religion shaming. In season 3, Miranda’s lesbian sexual odyssey continues with a sweet woman called Mary, who Carrie and Miranda relentlessly then shame on account of being a nun.

10.) The writing is appalling. It’s just not as razor sharp, clever and poignant as it was in SATC. In the new season 3, when Carrie and Aidan attempt to have long-distance phone sex, Aidan is in his truck and accidentally beeps the horn in his excitement. THE HORN! While getting the horn! And neither of them make a joke about it! Come on Michael Patrick King, do better…

I could go on and on – the grotesque privilege that goes unchecked and is so wrong for now! Carrie’s crap interior decor!…I won’t. I also won’t be watching anymore. One thing I do love however? Carrie’s cat, Shoe. She seems to be the only authentic, sweet and non-problematic element of Carrie’s new life.

And Just Like That… will be available from 30 May on Sky and streaming service NOW.
