Season Two, Episode Two – ‘The Awful Truth’

It’s Carrie’s birthday, and whilst the old adage of ‘another year older another year wiser’ usually runs true, of course this isn’t the case here. One of the gifts she receives is a $900 scarf which to me is absolute madness. Surely if you have that sort of bunse lying around, you could think of [...]

Season Two, Episode One – ‘Take Me Out To The Ball Game’

Let’s get something out of the way first – fur, or even more ridiculously ‘fake fur’ coats are absolutely horrible. I see all sorts of idiots wearing them in London, especially at my uni, and they all look crap. You won’t be surprised to find that Carrie is sporting a particularly nasty one in this [...]

Season One, Episode Twelve – ‘Oh Come All Ye Faithful’

I got really excited at the title of the episode (the last of the season,) thinking ‘yesssssssss, Christmastime!’ but I am pained to say I was wrong. I had a whole monologue planned about how my ultimate romantic fantasy is to be with someone at Christmas, the whole kissing in the snow, the little squeals [...]

Season One, Episode Eleven – ‘The Drought’

The penultimate episode of Season One then, as I near the end of one of the worst series of television shows I’ve seen since I tried watching Lost but gave up when it was clear that no-one had a fucking clue as to how structure a television series.
We kicked off with Carrie fretting as she [...]

Season One, Episode Ten – ‘The Baby Shower’

Finally, for once somebody says something I can agree with, and against all odds, it’s Carrie! “Sometimes there is nothing harder in life than being happy for someone else,” she says, before she pops off to a baby shower with the gang, and I’m inclined to agree. Reminds me of my worst three emotions to [...]

Season One, Episode Nine – ‘The Turtle And The Hare’

About halfway through this episode, a truly horrible thought entered my mind. Was I like Carrie Bradshaw? The similarities are endless – we both wander around our bedrooms looking vaguely miserable, we both know someone with the nickname ‘Big’ (her ‘Mr Big’, and me ‘Big John) and we both earnestly stare at our laptops whilst [...]

Season One, Episode Eight – ‘Three’s A Crowd’

This episode started with Charlotte falling in love with a rubbery faced architect. Is ‘love’ that easy to get? Just seems that every other episode we’re getting one of the four ‘women’ fall in love with someone who turns out to be unsuitable and it’s just getting me ‘down’. Sorry for all the inverted commas, [...]

Season One, Episode Seven – ‘The Monogamists’

I am of the opinion that there is often nothing worse than the sound of someone you don’t like laughing. Closely following this, is someone you don’t like falling in love, and subsequently being so lovey dovey that all they can talk about is the person they’re with – regardless of the glazed look in [...]

Season One, Episode Six – ‘Secret Sex’

If I knew Carrie Bradshaw in real life, I’d get one of the many gobshite Essex princesses I know, to issue her a beating, Southend style. This episode centres around her being photographed for her column, as she’s going to be daubed on the side of a bus. It’s quite accurate that she’d be involved [...]

Season One, Episode Five – ‘The Power Of Female Sex’

As Voltaire once memorably quipped somewhere in France, “A Witty saying proves nothing.” With that in mind, the return of this blog would probably have him spinning in his grave, had his bones not eroded years ago.
This episode is one of the worst pieces of television I’ve ever seen, and I have watched every single [...]
