Why? Why do I love this?
I hate that it's my go to box set. Breaking Bad's finished? Walking Dead mid season break? Oh well, nothing to watch, better crack open the old shoe box and wade through 6 seasons of this consumerist, product placement whore of a bull crap show! (My box set is in the shape of a shoe box I found in a pawn shop for £10 almost a decade ago. You know, cos it's aimed at women!) I'm 16 and telling my boyfriend this show is beautifully written and well directed. Now 28, this is the first time I've watched the whole thing from start to finish in one lump. I'd like to point out that 16 year old me knows nothing. SERIOUSLY nothing! Maybe its just cos we've been spoiled with such good writing over the years, or maybe it's just cos this show actually sucks balls! It's not clever, it's not funny, it's certainly not relatable, not to anyone I know at least. I've known writers in London who can barely afford a cupboard to live in while they ration their weekly pasta allowance. How does someone who writes a single column for a fucking local newspaper afford to eat out 3 times a day in her $400 Manolo's? A common question asked by many. One of my favourite amateur dialogue moments: CARRIE: "Have you met blah blah, she works in TV". GUY: "Cool, I love TV!" Erm...... yeah. I wasn't surprised to find out they went through 4 different actors in the episode "Escape From New York". Alec Baldwin, George Clooney, and Warren Beatty all turned down the celebrity cameo role. In the end they settled for Matthew McConaughey, (cos he's done................................ stuff.) A poor execution of the "I'm a wealthy, big headed, fame thirsty celebrity who's gonna be a judgemental dick towards you tiny industry people". Not quite as well constructed as Matt LeBlanc's character in "Episodes", but hey, at least they tried. And the movies. Oh, the movies! Not one, but two piece of shit movies came out of this. The first movie: They break up + they get back together = Pointless! And the second: She kisses her ex + he doesn't really give a shit = Pointless! I completely agree with Mark Kermode "If you watched the first one, the second one is your fault!" And you know what? It's absolutely my fault! I am just as much to blame. This show is aimed at all powerful successful women, is it fuck! I'll tell you why women love this horse shit, cos it's fantasy! We eat up this mountain of mind numbing drivel cos it's what we all desire, no work for a fuck load of cash and sex on the doorstep with the type of men we can only think about while fucking our significant others. I am a guilty sheep. This show is crack. It's bad and you know it's bad. But once it's in your system, fuck it, you know you want more!
