Winter Binged 2022 - And Just Like That…. - Season One

And Just Like That... following Minx (renewed for a second season), Search Party, Hacks (at last renewed for a third season), The Flight Attendant (not yet renewed, maybe cancelled?), Tokyo Vice (renewed for a second season) and Love Life (not yet renewed) is yet another HBO Max title, currently streaming in Australia on Binge.

This is the much talked about revival/ sequel of Sex and the City created by Darren Star, which is based on Candace Bushnell's newspaper column and 1996 book anthology of the same name.

Set 11 years after the events of the 2010 film Sex and the City 2, the series stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis, Mario Cantone, David Eigenberg, Willie Garson, Evan Handler, Chris Noth, Sara Ramirez & Sarita Choudhury.

And Just Like That... premiered on HBO Max on December 9, 2021, the season finale was released on February 3, 2022. 

So it's taken me a minute to catch up with this ten episode romp. I started four episodes on the way to Thailand in April, then quickly sped through the remaining six episodes over a wet weekend.

These wet weekends are really good for my Winter Binged blog series.

Originally billed as a miniseries, the series was renewed for a second season in March 2022. So maybe towards Christmas we will get some more Carrie Bradshaw in our lives.

It's a little cringe in parts, however the fun doesn't stop from episode to episode. With a much more diverse cast, including/not limited to, the use of pro nouns, non binary characters along with a touch of sex in the city added in for good measure.

If you need a really light and breezy watch over this fourth in 18 month rain event. Yes once in a hundred years doesn't really cut the mustard anymore right? And Just Like That…. streams on Binge, keep a look out for season two when it lands. Speaking of reboots coming back for a second season. The second coming of Gossip Girl seems to be coming rather soon!
