5 min into the new #SATC series & I'm triggered.

Charlotte tells Miranda she should cover her grays: "Ruth Bader Ginsburg died HER hair"

Miranda implies podcasting is a *youth* activity that she disapproves of: "Carrie, I love you to death, but I draw the line at podcasts" 🥲

Guys. Guys. This might be my new West Wing.

An investment banker running for mayor? The stuff that dreams are made of! 😜

FWIW, it’s true to character and I’m enjoying every second.

Ok. We meet the replacement Samantha who is Black of course bc this is reparations for how they wrote the occasional black woman in the original. (I’ll never forget that one where Samantha slept with a Black guy & they wrote his sister as a disapproving shrew). Love Ari-Parker.

But they introduce her and then immediacy pivot to her bracelet which is designed by someone from Jackson Mississippi so that we really get that black 👏🏾lives 👏🏾matter👏🏾.

Then they all kvetch about how they are bad bad girls for eating fries + one more podcast bit.

I just wanna make my Callin show a #SATC debrief show but I don't know that I can land that hard pivot to entertainment commentary.

There are not enough words in a tweet to explain this. 😳

Aaaaand I was today years old when I learned that "Hello It's Me" is not an Isley Brothers original, but a tune by someone named Todd Rundgren.

I don’t know that I can do this. Why are they doing this to me? Why are they trying to humiliate these characters!? Why are they selling white guilt as entertainment? I’m here for the clothes and the NY of it all, not performative shame over micro aggressions! 😭

The next scene. The podcast. I’m crine. @RickyRawls. I need you to do an episode on this.

“Give that to Black Charlotte.”

Gotta respect the transparency.

Holy crap. The end. Man. Ok. We’re doing this.

Even with all the absurdity, the friendship btwn Carrie and Miranda can still make my eyes well up a little. 🥺

God bless Stanford for a line that makes everything worth it. RIP 😢

Does Carrie have parents? Siblings? Cousins?

Miranda is truly the MVP of this and not just because of my affection for Cynthia Nixon. She shines despite all the terrible lines she's given. And her funeral look is absolutely terrific. Her hair has never looked better.
