Spoiler alert! The following story contains details about the series finale of "Sex and the City" sequel "And Just Like That..." (now streaming on HBO Max).
You know that old Bible verse: “Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; my toilet runneth over.”
It sounds a lot like the series finale of “And Just Like That…,” which launched unholy scatological warfare against our beloved Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), who had merely hoped to spend a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with her dear friends after her romances with Aidan (John Corbett) and Duncan (Jonathan Cake) fizzled. Instead, Carrie’s holiday is filled with a revolving door of haughty art dealers and Gen Z queerdos, one of whom clogs the toilet and expels a sea of brown that Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is forced to clean up.
A magical land called Manhattan, this is not.
In some ways, it’s an apropos ending for “And Just Like That…,” which in three seasons found stunning new ways to humiliate and torture our “Sex and the City” heroines. An entire episode devoted to Charlotte (Kristin Davis) feuding at the dog park? Send the meteor. Carrie listening to Aidan masturbate in his truck after he imposes a five-year break to focus on his kids? Virginia is not bad enough — truly, take him to the Hague.
