really trying to understand the cringe factor

“Writers::"Intimate" sex scenes in SATC didn't work either. The sex scenes worked because they served COMEDY. Intimacy was much better portrayed in moments not involving sex. And we've been trained to see these characters that way. Big difference IMO why SATC works and AJLT is struggling with the cringe. YOU might like it as writers --but do ask yourselves if what looks good and what the intentions were on paper are what is indeed coming across as intended on screen? I dont think so, after listening to these podcasts, unfortunately. I will say season 2 is improved. You made Che human instead of a god, developed some of the other new characters --trying to make them more relatable instead of just rich, gave Steve some diginity and happy you found a way to free Carrie from the depths by bringing back Aidan and some familiarity. No shame in that, it's great. Speaking for myself,I don't want to watch a drama with these characters, I still want a comedy. I wish you would lead more with comedy first. I also wish you would stop taking the laziness road with the "shock and cringe in lieu of good writing. The shock and cringe in SATC always served the comedy...always. Never shocking just to be shocking or to make a statement. You can still make statements without being lazy --just be more thougthful and clever about it. With this writers' strike, you have time to do that now.
I also understand perfectly why MPK chose not to have Carrie narrate. Hoever, I think AJLT needs it. Consider this --We may have disliked SATC too if there was no narration givng the context the writers intended. Now we have to go to a podcast to find out what the writiers inended, Shouldn't be that way. Hearing it from Carrie gives us permission to laugh, ponder, etc. No shame in that either. I think it would help a lot..”Read full review »

“I loved listening to these ladies! So informative. Though it is normal that one speaks more than the others (I take from my circle of friends), I wish Cynthia Nixon had spoken some more. Her character is a box of surprises. SJP is a typical person who reads a lot (We always have something to...”Read full review »
