And just like that, Sex and the City landed on Netflix. And I couldn't help but wonder — how on earth would Gen-Z react to the world of Carrie Bradshaw? With all of its nicotine-stained couture, pavement-scuffed Manolos, early aughts girl boss-ified white feminism and relationship red flags, my guess was, they'd be perplexed at best, enraged at worst. When HBO's SATC hit our screens back in 1998, it was nothing short of revolutionary.
And what about when Samantha dated a woman, and the girls were extremely sceptical and unsupportive? There's also an entire Reddit thread devoted to Miranda's fetishism of Black men when she dates her neighbour Dr Robert – who honestly seems like a really great guy, but the show's creation of Jules and Mimi – a British TV show Miranda obsesses over that sees a white woman date a Black man – just makes the whole thing feel COMPLETELY not right.
