And just like that 2021 is nearly over. Warning that this episode contains spoilers for the first two episodes of the Sex and the City revival And Just Like That. We are breaking it all down: our feelings on the way they explained Samantha’s (and Kim Cattrall’s) absence, the shoehorning of topical issues into the SATC universe, and that big twist that Big is dead. We are both entertained and embarrassed. What do y’all think? Let us know and have a happy and healthy holiday. Stay safe, baybees and we’ll see you back here with actress interviews Jan 6, 2022!
