Alison Herman The Ringer This was the first episode to be filmed after 9/11, a cataclysm that Sex and the City wisely declined to fold into its frothy, fizzy world but still managed to address in poignant, evocative fashion. Aug 7, 2018 Full Review Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times Plump with urbane, sneaky humor and creative juices. Apr 18, 2018 Full Review John Leonard New York Magazine/Vulture Only on television would such smart young women never think about anything else except hormones. Apr 18, 2018 Full Review Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan Baltimore Sun The brilliance of the new season is that the show's writers haven't opted to have the girls sweep their heartache under their dust ruffles and launch into plundering New York all over again. Apr 19, 2018 Full Review Terry Kelleher People Magazine Still, Parker's irresistible charm keeps us on Carrie's side even as the character's act grows old. Apr 16, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
