Did anyone live in the city back then that can tell me if Carrie’s $700 checking and $957 savings was completely horrible? I feel like a lot people these days don’t even have that!
Hello all. I’m watching the series for the first time in the year of our lord 2026 and am completely obsessed. I’m currently half way through season 4 and truly believe that all four of our girls have so much to love, but there’s something about Carrie that I can’t shake…
Yes, there’s merit to the idea of Carrie being self centered and a fool for love, but my biggest gripe is just how SQUARE she is!! She’s a sex columnist that’s lived in NYC for 15 years (at the time of the mugging) and yet she’s so conservative when it comes to the real sex lives of herself and her friends.
She herself does not stray from the 35-45 year old, tall, rich, dark haired white man (at least so far that I’ve seen”). Big, Aiden, Pork Pie, etc. She’s supposed to be on the razors edge of society and yet the idea of sexually fluid youngsters scares her so badly that she flees the party? Samantha has a brief lesbian relationship and Carrie is uninterested? Charlotte enjoys having TL from Trey and that means nothing to Carrie? Hell, Trey and Charlottes entire sexual relationship could be its own column.
I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m surprised just now narrow Carries sexual realm seems to be. If I knew her in real life, I may not be so interested to hear her opinions on the sex scene in New York.
Take this with a grain of salt as I’m still making my way through the series!
Also I just have to make a short note about Carries blackcent when interacting with the transgender sex workers at Samantha’s party….i suppose we can only laugh at the year 2000.
