And Just Like That Finds Its Footing

The HBO series has finally hit its stride with the third season, shedding its attempts to adapt to modernity and embracing its absurd rich characters. The show’s new direction is marked by a decrease in forced attempts to fit the characters into contemporary issues, instead focusing on their emotional entanglements – love, work, family – as gentle ambient noise. The leads operate comfortably within their luxurious world, with Carrie residing in a spacious Gramercy Park townhouse and her friends navigating their respective struggles. While some may critique the show’s lighthearted approach, the series’ devotion to its core fantasy of lifelong friendship provides it with a heart, allowing viewers to enjoy its gentle humor and comfortable viewing experience.
