Sex and the City

Set in New York City, the show focuses on four mid-thirties (and one who is in her mid-forties by the end) female characters. The sitcom had serialized story lines, as well as dramatic elements and tackled socially-relevant issues, often specifically dealing with women in society in the late 1990s, and how changing roles and definitions for women affected the characters.

Guest  - Amazing   |2008-06-20 14:56:52 What an amazing show, I love Sex and the City and have the box set. I can just put a series on and I'm entertained, it never gets all. I love all of the characters especially Samantha, i think she is fantastic and so funny. I enjoy watching the whole series over and over again. The story lines are fantastic and i love the relationship Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha have. Well worth watching, for both men and women, my boyfriend likes it too. It is a real insight into how women think about relationships and men and you will be sure to learn a thing or too about sex which is always a good thing. 10 out of 10. And i have to say that I'm so pleased that Carrie and Mr Big got together in the end, they are meant for each other Reply | Quote 1   0
