Amazon.co.uk Review
Now you can achieve multiple viewings of the best Sex on TV. Winner of Golden Globes for Best TV Series and Best Actress,
Sex and the City is based on Candace Bushnell's provocative
bestseller. Sarah Jessica Parker stars as Carrie Bradshaw, a self-described "sexual anthropologist", who writes "Sex and the City", a newspaper column that chronicles the state of sexual affairs of Manhattanites in this "age of un-innocence". Her "posse", including nice girl Charlotte (Kristin Davis), hard-edged Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) and sultry party girl Samantha (Kim Cattrall)--not to mention her own tumultuous love life--give Carrie plenty of column fodder. Over the course of the first season's 12 episodes, the most prominent dramatic arc concerns Carrie, who goes from turning the tables on "toxic bachelors" by having "sex like a man" to wanting to join the ranks of "the monogamists" with the elusive Mr Big (Chris Noth). Meanwhile, Miranda, Cynthia, and Samantha have their own dating woes.
Seinfeld has nothing on
Sex and the City when it comes to shallow, self-absorbed characters or coining catch phrases. Episode Two, for example, introduces the term "modeliser": a guy who is obsessed with and will only date models. Some may accuse this series of male-bashing but women, after years of enduring shows with "men behaving badly", will relish this new equality. Some may blanche at the ladies' graphic language and ribald humour, or dismiss some of the situations as unrealistic (Carrie doesn't bat an eyelid when she discovers that an artist friend surreptitiously videotapes his sexual conquests). Still others will view
Sex and the City as documentary. Regardless of your view, this ground-breaking series will have you longing for more. --
