![]() ![]() That man was one green juice away from being the living, breathing human equivalent of a detox yoga holiday at a spa in India. She was a bad, bad girlfriend.Īiden was a catch. Which, to be fair, she probably thought was true. Describing herself as a writer suggested that she thought she was up there with Hemingway. And yes, she wrote books, but within the universe of the pre-film TV show, this was one tome, a collection of her columns. But there was something about her insistence on being a writer that rubbed us up the wrong way. Remember when her friend Susan bought her a gorgeous cashmere birthday present in Season 2 and Carrie asked her if it was ok if she returned it and kept the cash? So rude. Which hardly gave her the right to throw a shitfit when her best mate wouldn't lend her the deposit for a flipping flat. But, rather than be a grown up like her friends, she instead invested her seemingly endless money (I wish it was the 90s - journalists today write triple what Carrie wrote in a week in a day and get paid a fraction of the cost) in pissing shoes ($40,000 worth to be precise). She was a grown up lady with a real (ish) job and responsibilities. No matter how many times she said it out loud. She was terrible at adultingĬarrie Bradshaw was not a 'girl'. Carrie's laborious puns were a hallmark of the quartet's regular brunches, and were always a lowlight. 'If you're tired you don't move to Napa, you take a napa'Īnd so was ruined and future holidays we may have wanted to take to the Northern Californian wine producing region. Carrie's jilted wedding with a guy she'd been umming and ahhing over for ten years warranted a pricey trip to Mexico for her fully employed friends, four days in bed with the blinds closed and an ill-advised hair colour change. In the first film, Miranda's separation from her husband and father of her child was bequeathed one two minute conversation over breakfast out of the whole sorry two hour and 31 minute film. ![]() Or, and this was the best, when Miranda was suffering from borderline postnatal depression, doubting herself as a new mother and Carrie spent half an hour chewing her ear off about one of Aiden's ex-girlfriends who gave her a 'look' in the toilets. There was the time Carrie sent Aiden to go and help a naked Miranda up when she slipped a disc in her back - remember the bullshit bagels!? Then there was the time Miranda got pregnant, wanted to get an abortion and Carrie spent three days wandering around the city musing over what would have happened if she herself hadn't got an abortion, all while Charlotte despaired over her own fertility issues. This could be an article in itself but we'll keep it brief. So we're nailing our colours to the mast with our favourite examples of how she was the absolute worst. With ever rewatch, it becomes more and more evident that Carrie was capable of cruelty and ignorance. We're hoping she will have grown up a little. ![]() And now, of course, she's returning to our screens via a reboot, And Just Like That. 'In truth it took real work every day to be her, to understand her, to not judge her', she told the Wall Street Journal. But we changed our minds in 2018, when Sarah Jessica Parker herself admitted that even she struggled to get on board. But that doesn't mean that we are blind to the fact that the style icon, shoe goddess and queen of curls wasn't capable of being an absolutely awful person.Īt the time, we tried to forgive her. She is one of the most entertaining and interesting heroines in the history of television. ![]()
