Lockdown, mixed with ill, elderly parents, errant teenagers and increasingly elastic waistbands were all making us feel a bit rubbish. The first major let-down is that Samantha will not be making an appearance which is disappointing. I was so ready for a 60-something feisty, hypersexual, uninhibited Samantha to rouse me from my self-imposed descent into little old ladydom. Carrie Bradshaw would be at the height of her powers, all traces of uncertainty and neuroses left firmly in the past. So, maybe that’s the way forward for the Sex and the City brand in these times – instead of escapism, hedonism and consumerism maybe the producers just need to keep it real.
