Sarah Jessica Parker responded to audience criticism of "And Just Like That..."
After the release of the third season finale of "And Just Like That..." on streaming service Max, Sarah Jessica Parker commented on the wave of criticism against the project in an interview with "The New York Times". According to her, she does not pay attention to the viewers who watch the show for the sake of ridicule, and notes that for her it's more important to support those who sincerely followed the story of Carrie Bradshaw.
The actress recalled that the team always tried to make the stories interesting and true, and the popularity of the series and the emotional response of the audience proved the importance of the work done.
"I don’t think I have the constitution to have spent a lot of time thinking about that. We always worked incredibly hard to tell stories that were interesting or real. I guess I don’t really care. And the reason I don’t care is because it has been so enormously successful, and the connections it has made with audiences have been very meaningful", — Parker said.
Creator Michael Patrick King previously noted that the discussions surrounding the project have become part of its cultural phenomenon:
"Beyond everything that people have printed, there are people who have been watching it for many years".
Recall that "And Just Like That..." ended with the third season, which was the final chapter of the continuation of the "Sex and the City" universe.

I wrote it and immediately thought, damn, I'm naive. You have to make money…
Parker can say anything to try to "save face," because, let's be honest, she's not a sought-after actress and this is her desperate attempt to grab onto her fading fame, but you shouldn't lie either. Kim Kattral has already said that she has "liberated" her character, and Parker should do the same. Rather than add to her withering agony.
If it's hard for you to understand that a woman at 60 is not always a grandmother and she can have an interesting life, about which you can also make an interesting series, then I do not know, go and touch the grass or something.
Can I tell you why I personally need vibe in the 2020s in the 90s? Because there was something real about vibe in the 90s. And I would like to know if there is sex at 60 or when it passes away)
What was filmed in And just like that is a filler and a subpoena, even the fan service was neglected. They tried to leave with outfits and actors from the original, who did not disdain to act in this turd and did not take it out because it was not enough. Parker Vaughn is convinced that this is Kerry's story, what is there to talk about if the viewer has never thought so?
on to the original (and even the films, no matter how much some people hate them) are wonderful, but here the agenda is for show (I'm far from hating progressive themes in movies, but it's REALLY very clumsy and "to make it happen", as we used to say at school "if you don't know how to do it, don't do it"), Miranda was turned into Cynthia Nixon (no, well, it's really NOT Miranda, to hell with him suddenly realizing his orientation at 50+ or how old she is, maybe this happens, so she's obviously stupid, this definitely doesn't happen with age) Duck also made a terrible person out of her (the scene where she came to take care of Carrie after surgery), and the absence of Samantha, who in fact was the engine of the series (despite the fact that Carrie, it was Samantha who was responsible for "sex" in Sex and the City)
, I honestly I'm surprised it even lasted that long, I would have closed it after the first season.
In contrast to the revision of the original, Miranda was painful to look at. The funny thing is that her experience with women there turned out to be unsuccessful, she admitted it, but here their ORIENTATION CHANGES dramatically OVER the COURSE of their LIVES. No, orientation has changed under the pen of Cynthia Nixon, that's all. And there are plenty of such moments.
Killing Big, continuing to prescribe Carrie running after men, and dumping expectations on her from the hysterical Aidan are, of course, "brilliant" solutions. It would have been better to devote time to her professional career after the loss of Big, rather than switch to Aidan and his family.
It certainly looked easy. But was the closure unpredictable? No. As they say, if everything was so good, then the ratings would be higher. And they would have brought it out immediately after the first season.
And yes, I am absolutely tolerant, but do not fill in here about the haters when they did not take into account the canon of the original.
well, no one forbade Miranda's son to become gay, I personally would not say a word, I think few people would be outraged at all
, but in the end we get Miranda, a super-strange woman who tried with women in her 30s, realized that after all, no, she wasn't in that line, and after more than 20 years she decided, "well, maybe this one, too?"
and all these scenes where she behaves as if she was born yesterday (when there was this awkward scene with the dark-skinned heroine, the teacher, well, she thought that she was also a student, well, why did it seem to her that it was because of her skin color, and why Miranda was so embarrassed to justify herself)
+ What a disgusting character, I don't even think there's anything to discuss here, they managed to register the most unpleasant person on the planet and for some reason made them (was that identification?) A love interest for some reason
++ I saw somewhere in tiktok that they buried the heroine's father twice during the series (in the first season she said something like "when I lost my father ...", and in the second "my father just died")
well, that is, they themselves can't remember their script! Three seasons in total! there are no such joints in long-running TV series for 8-12 seasons, but here in three they forgot what they were doing with
someone, in this series from the good... Well, there was a lot of money, the shooting, the scenery and the wardrobe are good
, that's all in general
Yes, that's right, Anthony had a normal response for the whole gay party, why pile it on every inch. Also, Charlotte's daughter was also turned into something, like did you at least see that it was too much?
I've been laughing at these "orientation changes" in TV shows for many years now, since I'm into guys myself, and for 32 years, no matter how much I'd like to switch to girls, it didn't work out. It's like this, with a click, as it doesn't work for them. That's what they showed in the original, but why, we were given 100,500 genders, and that's fine.
About Che, it's just a hand-face, there was more about her tantrums, and not even about her terrible stand-ups, although they also deserve a separate name. And for two seasons she was bullied!
It was possible to introduce the same English writer for Carrie immediately from the third season as a love interest, but they just killed the season for Aidan, making him even more vile than he fell out in the original. It's still unclear what's what.
As you can see by my nickname, I really love Carrie, a professional, but that's exactly what they didn't give us. And so aesthetically, yes, everything is beautiful. If only it made more sense.
Although my friend made excuses: YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, LIFE HAS CHANGED, AND SO HAVE THEY. But not in such a way as to forget what was broadcast in the original.
understand if it's like "awareness" (I went through it myself, not for so long, of course, I was still very young, but for several years I was stupidly in massive denial, I think it can migrate to an adult under certain conditions), and then, well, not in this series to do that for sure, no one there was suppressed by society and their prejudices so much that they denied their essence
with Carrie at all until they were 50, I already feel sorry for her as a character, she's been running after this Big for a hell of a lot of years, then they have one thing, then another, And now he's dead
, too, and he's throwing her, of course, at Aidan, because there are only two men in all of New York, and that's the emotionally unavailable Big and Aidan, who's not okay either, because how many times can you step on the same rake with these relationships? it's like they're not adults, but students of some kind (it seems to me that for Aidan, Carrie is the same as Big for her, some kind of fixed idea)
about Che and Miranda... Damn, there aren't enough characters to describe what's wrong with Che individually and with their relationship, literally every scene of the series needs to be described.
Miranda was made a fool, Which makes you want to throw something at the screen, and their relationship is some kind of toxic bingo
and yes, these standups... You can't come up with even a slightly funny joke for a comic character, you have to be able to do that.
I also agree about age, but how they portray it: Miranda, who went all the way to the original that she loves Steve, suddenly sends him far away and chooses an extremely toxic Che. But in their reality, it is also impossible to say that she (they) is toxic!
Carrie's relationship has been really painful since the original, because it's in their context that she turns out to be a fool since the last seasons, and here it's also multiplied by 300. And they don't mind that Carrie isn't stupid. Considering how hard it was to bring them together with Big, I don't understand who needed this drain.
1. they went to this couple for so long through all the obstacles so that they were endgame, and then they spent like this in 5 minutes
, well, if you want to separate such an important plot couple, then take the time to show that the relationship It's not like I understand why I should finish them, but as a viewer, this "well, they lived together for 20 years, she stopped loving him" doesn't bother me at all.
2. if you really want to leave your husband somewhere... Well, not to What. there are no better candidates, for me it's better to live with someone you don't love than such a relationship ahahha
3. the weakest (but no weaker than the script of this series) way to divorce them would be to at least make Steve at least a jerk
, well, in general, given the canon of SVBG, it was possible if you find fault and twist some moments from there to Max, it might become clear why this marriage came to an end
, but damn... if the scriptwriters thought that the audience would be for Miranda and not care about Steve, then the opposite happened. they seemed to be trying to make him look somehow elderly and unattractive, but that only made me feel more sorry for him in this whole situation
, so much to go to this happy ending, so that in the blink of an eye his wife would go crazy and leave you, so it would be okay to go nowhere or to someone Worthy, but no
And then just like that she chose some kind of left-wing hysterical? It's a hell of a routine, living in New York and having a child by my side, who, even though he's grown up, still throws up responsibilities.
Until Miranda was brought back to work in season 2, her character was painful to watch, and Steve was taken out of the plot altogether.
And the fact that Brady gave birth to a LEFT-wing girl who is just a walking redneck is also generally a disgrace to screenwriters.
