Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Much like the novels of Fanny Burney or Jane Austen 200 years before, Sex and the City tackles that perennial female conundrum, how to maintain independence from men (intellectual, sexual, financial) while seeking the ideal life-partner for whom that much-cherished independence can safely be sacrificed. So it is that Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha prowl relentlessly the canyons of Manhattan in search of mates, all of whom fall woefully short of their needs in one crucial way or another. Yet, with biological clocks ticking and suppressed nesting instincts fighting back, the foursome occasionally find themselves dangerously close to despair. The dating game can be deadly serious sometimes. Which is why Sex and the City is not just good TV, it's great TV: for all its refreshingly cynical wit and superficial vivaciousness, the show has at its heart a streak of pathos and painful truth that resonates deeply with its audience.

In the show's second season, the scrutiny falls more on the women than their succession of useless dates. Carrie has to learn the painful truth about Big all over again; Miranda has panic attacks about being alone for the rest of her life; Sam is humiliated by the ladies who lunch into confessing that she's a whore; and Charlotte is reduced to trading kinky foot massages for free shoes. Savage love, indeed.

On the DVD: Sex and the City, Season 2 has all 18 episodes on three discs. Frustratingly, the menus have no "Play All" facility so you can't just sit back and enjoy--each episode requires navigation from the main menu to an episode list to a redundant preview screen before the play selection is offered. There are mini trailers for each episode and a short (eight-minute) promo featurette. The picture is a little fuzzy in places, doubtless the result of transfer from NTSC format, but is still an improvement over the first season. --Mark Walker

4.0 out of 5 stars confused!, 26 Mar 2002
By A Customer
I am a huge fan of sex and the city, so when I sat down to watch series 2 on my newly purchased videos you can imagine my confusion when the episodes were in the wrong order. As all fans will know, in series 2 Carrie gets back together with Big and then breaks up with him when he goes to Paris...however these prominent episodes are shown in the wrong order which is very disappointing. Apart from this error the episodes are great viewing for everyone. Witty, honest and realistic this show just gets better and better!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great and now in order, 11 April 2005
I really like this series. Having come to sex and the city late (series 4, 5 and 6). I thought I hadn't seen any of series one and two. As it turns out I had seen a few but there were a few new ones (for me) in this series which were cracking, the one with the tantric sex class is one to look out for.

I also would like to add that alot of the previous reviews make mention of the confusing ordering of the episodes. I wasn't overly bothered by this when i made the purchase as i brought them to watch as a series then at random when there is nothing on the box. However was suprided to find the episodes are now in order so don't be put off by this.

I have given it four stars for the lack of a play all function and the fact that you have to watch the slightly irritating titles and can't easily skip forward to the actual start of the episode.

4.0 out of 5 stars BRILLIANT but..., 16 Oct 2003
By Karen Creamer "kagsy_99" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is the funniest, most realistic and uplifting TV programme EVER. I love it. Every episode will make you see the funny side of the things we worry about too much. But I will warn you the episodes are not in chronological order on the video box set, and as this is the most complicated of all the series with their many boyfriends and break ups, you will be left seriously confused from it jumping from episode 3 to 7 to 9 to 2 to 12 etc, why they did I don't know. So it loses a star for that, still great though
