So you come home tired after work, happy to watch new episodes of your favorite show. Fill the bath, take a glass of wine and just like that..all you get out of it is depression.

Sad plot which only makes you cry. Think about aging, about being left alone at some point.

Your beloved characters that somehow lost it. For instance I mean why through out all two episodes all you want is for Miranda to finally shut up?? Miranda! Who is so smart, sharp, sarcastic and confident in satc.

Nothing like sats. And sure it's not to be so. But you watch this series for certain mood, and here get the total opposite of it.

The only thing i liked - is how they handled Samantha's absence. Respectfully, living the option for her to come back.

But it did make me nostalgic. They did dirty to Samantha, my most favorite character in the show, all because Kim Cattrall refused to come back. I would rather they wrote her dead or something. That would have preserved her image.

Wow. Within 5 minutes, SJP is insulting Samantha...Who would ever believe that Samantha needed Carrie as a client?? Carrie is as unevolved and annoying as always. For some reason, even Miranda has been written like a ditz...we're left with 3 completely unlikeable performances and too many stereotypes to count. I'll wait for Kim Cattrall's next show!!

So, I definitely see what the other people are saying about the cringe worthiness of it all. I must admit there were quite a few bumps in the road throughout this episode, especially in the beginning. Like others have said, it did make it difficult to watch at times, but when it got into its groove-it really got there. It hit home for me around the time of Charlotte's daughter's piano recital, and then of course Big's shower scene. Those scenes alone were enough to hook me back in. Hopefully they will work out some of those bumps in the coming episodes because there was quite a few parts that were hard to watch, but it really did hit home there at the end, and I am once again a fan. I cried during the piano recital scene which was unexpected seeing how the first half of the episode was going. They need to fire these PC writers. I'm a liberal, and I still can't stand it. The writers are being far too obvious, & it's just plain weird, & uncomfortable for the viewer. I do miss Samantha (Kim Cattrall) a lot though, and I don't like how they're deliberately going out of their way to include all these black ppl like they're trying to make up for not casting them throughout the entire 9 season run of the Sex & The City series. Like WTF?! All the gay stuff too. Like, it's totes fine to talk about those issues, or gave black/LGBTQ + actors/actresses, but the way the way in which they are represented here just made it downright awkward & annoying AF. Thank God for the last 5-10 min, or am I not sure I could see myself sticking around. It looks like I'm not alone either.

I loved watching the actresses and their characters return, they were accurate and their interactions felt familiar which was nice. It still gave the familiar Sex and the City feel I was hoping for.

However - they are trying WAY too hard to be 'up to date'. Podcasts, 'white savior complex', Peloton, etc. I get what they're trying to do, but it's just plain awful and difficult to watch. Highly unnecessary in my person opinion.

Just for starters: I loved the series and watched it religiously in my twenties. My problem with the first episode is that they wanted to shove in all appropriate cultural stuff; there is tokenism, LGBTQ+ stuff there that is just a little cringeworthy. The show's really trying too hard. I'm still going to watch it for the fashion and style, not so much for the "sex" part (like who is interested in the sex lives of strangers?!).

The ladies are back, and better than ever. The absence was explained in as good a way as they could. The same vibe and chemistry was there, some comedic moments, and some touching moments.

I'm in the minority opinion I'm sure but I prefer this show without Samantha. She was always so ridiculous and over the top. No one I've ever met spoke like her or acted like her. I watched it back in the day and bought all the dvds despite the fact that I thought Samantha was written so poorly. Now without her antics the show seems so much more real. I like that they show them with graying hair and realistically. It's refreshing. People hating on this because they got older are just sad. Don't watch it if you're offended by aging gracefully.

They turn all characters into stupid Karens.

I'm a big fan of SATC since were on tv but this one is just way too painful to watch. Not because of they're aging or anything but .....

This is sad just sad, understand why Kim Cattrall doesn't want to do it anymore.

All haters of This show. Give it a chance. The First episode is usually slow. To re-Introduce you to the characters. I know the show will get better with time and like it's previous chapter. It will take off.

Give it a chance. !!

Why did you have to ruin an epic girly series into THIS?

So cringy scenes, pathetic, depressing, awkward...pffff. Heavily pretentious, squeezing-in all the IT staff just to be relatable. Really, you didnt have to do this. Samantha was clever enough not to be part of this hideous project.

And just like that...you ruined it!

So many expectations but this episode was perfectly balanced between the friendships and family, nostalgia and tieing up loose ends. It really packed a punch. Some great new characters too. Can't wait to watch more episodes!
