I like Sex and the City,it's a well-crafted show. It's a fun drama-comedy about four single,successful 30+ women living in N.Y,spending most of their time talking about men,shopping,having sex,talking about sex,fearing marriage,longing for marriage(at least one of them)and club-hopping.I can't relate to everything that much myself,not living a single,hip,childless life and not living in N.Y,but somehow you get the feeling that these women,however neurotic and even exaggerated,could be real people.They are in between very unlike each other,Miranda and Samantha being the most independent ones,firmly believing that a woman CAN lead a good,fulfilling life without being married.Samantha doesn't even think that she WANTS to have a steady man in her life.Charlotte aches to find Mr Right,Carrie too but she's more afraid of commitment and constantly comparing every boyfriend with the one-and-only Mr Big. Carrie is the narrator/newspaper columnist sharing her thoughts about men,single life,friends,fashion and life in general with her readers and of course,the TV-audience.
But still,I can't understand all the fuss about the "sex-scenes",are people really so fascinated by and obsessed with sex?There's a lot more interesting topics in here,psychology,group-dynamics,friendship. Maybe it's because I'm European I don't find the sex references so shocking,I don't know.But no one I know thinks that it's a provocative series because of the so-called sex-scenes/sex related topics,even if they do like the show. Most women want to have a close group of friends they can discuss and share EVERYTHING with,like Sam,Carrie,Miranda and Charlotte.Not too many adults have that,I think. Don't underestimate the female audience by thinking that they mostly watch it because of the sex-talk,sex-scenes and shopping sprees.Most of all,they long for a group of friends they can share everything with,and we probably all have a piece of Miranda,Samantha,Carrie or Charlotte inside.
