Sex And The City : Seasons 1-6 Shoebox 18 Disc Set DVD: Amazon.co.uk: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon: DVD

Reviews

Amazon.co.uk Review
Sex and the City managed, over its six-season run, to become something of an icon. It's one of those programs that’s passed into pop culture; the show that launched a thousand personality tests, each asking whom you identify with most: prim and proper Charlotte, career girl Miranda, man-hungry Samantha, or introspective (but always impeccably dressed) columnist Carrie Bradshaw.

The cast isn’t as truly an ensemble as, say, Friends; Carrie is the main focus, with Sarah Jessica Parker's notoriously outrageous wardrobe tending to draw as much attention as the plot of the episode. Funny without being farcical, Sex and the City was also touching and aspirational. Unashamedly girly, the series created a kind of modern fantasy: four friends, each with her own distinct personality, finding her way around the battlefield of life and love in New York City. Though Sex and the City sparked controversy over whether it represented a new age of feminism, or, conversely, was deeply traditional or even damaging, it was always undeniably entertaining nonetheless.

This shoebox style boxset contains all the episodes (and costs considerably less than a pair of Manolo Blahniks) and so is ideal for catching up, ready for the hotly rumoured movie version. -- Sarah Dobbs

DVD Description
All six seasons of the award winning series in a stylish limited edition collectors boxset. The ultimate gift for any Sex and the City fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch the SATC girls whenever you want!, 28 May 2007

By	Cathy Ahern (Warrington, Cheshire) - See all my reviews

Sex and the City is my all time favourite TV series for so many great reasons. Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte are all so different but all come together because of their strong bond of friendship. What's so great about this TV programme is that it's written by women for women and you can see this in the stories which all have an emotional truth in them. Trying to balance problems at work whilst trying to work out who is the Mr Right boyfriend for you? Carrie and the girls are shown living through the same things. Yes they are New Yorkers and have loads of money, but there is something about them that makes you think that they really would be very special friends to have.
This Jimmy Choo inspired boxset is great because you have literally every episode in order and ad-break free. Beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars And if you find someone to love the you you love....that's just fabulous!, 25 Nov 2006

By	C. Leenhouwers "claireann82" (London, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Sex and the City is more than a TV show, it's an institution. It was the first show on television to examine how women really think and feel. Yes there is the word 'sex' in its title and sex features a lot in the show, but it is more to do with relationships and female friendship than just 'shagging' the first guy that comes along!

Series One:
The clothes seem a bit dated now but of course that's to be expected and it is now annoying to watch episodes where SJP looks at the camera and the continuous cutting to various extras with their own opinions. Highlights of the first series were 'The Baby Shower' and 'O Come All Ye Faithful'. We are introduced to Mr. Big and develop a love/hate relationship with the man who is never quite there for Carrie.

Series Two:
Is personally my favourite series as the girls are really looking and acting at their best. Carrie is recovering from her break up from Big but manages to rekindle their relationship if only for a brief period. The episode, 'La Doleur Exquise' is probably the most heartwrenching of all the episodes in Sex and the City and the viewer really feels torn as Carrie is literally forced to untangle herself from Big's grasp. Miranda meets Steve and embarks on a brief affair, whereas Charlotte continues her search for Mr. Right and Samantha comes to terms with size being an issue. The final episode of the series, 'Ex and the City' has a fantastic reworking of 'The Way We Were'. I think the highlight of this series was Carrie's impossible relationship with Big.

Series Three:
Once again begins with Carrie recovering from the Big situation and meeting Aidan. Charlotte meets Trey and they become engaged (far too quickly), Miranda tries again with Steve but they separate (another heartbreaking episode)and Samantha is Samantha. The main issue in this series is Carrie's affair with Big which results in her and Aidan separating. The best episodes for me involved Carrie wrestling to give up her affair. It seems so unlike her to have an affair and once again the viewer starts to hate and love Big in equal measure. Charlotte's marriage falls apart as soon as it begins.

Series Four:
Carrie is alone again and in one of the first few episodes she is invited to model in a fashion show. This episode 'The Real Me' is an excellent episode to watch when feeling down about yourself. Carrie's fall is so surprising and tragic you really care for her and admire her for getting up and continuing on. Charlotte and Trey struggle with the reality of being unable to have children, Miranda sleeps with Steve in a mercy act and ends up pregnant while Carrie gets back with Aiden while at the same time trying to remain friends with Big. 'Belles of the Balls' is an excellent episode which my boyfriend says 'really sums up guys' when Aiden and Big fight each other and then start to like each other. Another great episode is 'The Good Fight' which contains the most hilarious fight between Carrie and Aiden and also Charlotte and Trey. Series four ends sadly for all of the girls besides Miranda. Charlotte and Trey separate, Carrie calls off her engagement to Aiden and says goodbye to Big while Samantha gets her heart broken by Richard. The only joy is Miranda's giving birth.

Series Five:
The shortest of the series and generally not the best because of it. Carrie doesn't have a lot to do as she has become cynical about love and chooses the city over love in general, Miranda struggles with her baby weight and the baby in general while Samantha gives Richard another chance only to decide that she loves herself too much to stay with a man who may cheat again. The best episode is 'The Big Journey' where Samantha and Carrie take a train to San Francisco and Charlotte and Harry begin their affair.

Series Six:
Carrie begins seeing the extremely annoying Jack Berger who eventually fails to deal with her success and dumps her on a post-it which actually turns out to provide one of the best episodes of the series, 'The Post-It Always Sticks Twice', the girls go out for a night on the town with hilarious consequences. Charlotte and Harry marry and Samantha dates Smith. The scenes between Samantha and Smith are excellent as Samantha finally opens up to a man. Miranda dates a foxy doctor but soon realises in one of the gorgeous episodes, 'One' that it is Steve who she loves and they get back together. Carrie starts seeing Alexander Petrovsky, a Russian with a bit of an attitude and humour blip. Miranda and Steve marry in 'The Ick Factor' and this tragically coincides with Samantha developing breast cancer which is dealt with in a sensitive way. Carrie's affair with Petrovsky develops so much that she decides to go with him to Paris but Big returns just in time to see her leave and then realises he wants her back. The final episodes of Sex and the City tied up a lot of loose ends. Samantha gets her sex drive back, Miranda accepts Steve's mother, Charlotte and Harry manage to adopt and Carrie ends up with......who else?.....Big. I liked the ending and wouldn't have it any other way.

5.0 out of 5 stars Carrie & Co. In Box-Set Gold !, 27 Aug 2006

By	G. J. Richards "gazley_j" (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For six series, Sarah Jessica Parker & Darren Starr bought glamour, coutre and titilation into our homes (and on a mid-week too: an unheard of feat up until then) whilst hopping onto the zeitgeist and making Cosmopolitains & Manolo Blahniks "must-have's" for the upwardly fabulous & sent sales of Apple laptops through the roof. Our four 30-something ladies made us all want a little more NY in our lives. Like the Spice Girls before them, they spawned endless "Which One Are You" relatability tests. We we're never ceased to be shocked by the X-rated and sexually head-strong exploits of Samantha. We ached for Charlotte as her prim-&-Priss fairytales of Happy-Ever-After got dashed one by one. And we smirked as Miranda lost her glacier-like front but retained her razor wit.(We were also at odds to explain how Carrie could afford A-List fashions by only writing a 10 inch column in the USA's answer to The Sun) And then there's the men....

Mr Big
Aiden
Steve
Trey
Burger
Harry
Richard
Smith
The russian (i dont have the srength or the "nerd" in me to find the correct spelling
** Add name of 1 x episode date here**

And then we mourned the loss of such an amazing series as HBO drew the curtain. But HOORAY!! the box set is here (in a suitably context-specific fabu-Box-set)
All 6 series are here in all their glory, including the dissapointingly short series 5 as S.J.P went on to have a B.A.B.Y. Having viewed them more or less back to back, it's evident the series doesn't fall foul to the occupational hazard that afflicts so many others of its kind; The charcters evolve (as does their individual style) in front of you. It woulod have been easy to film the no-brainer "how they meet" episode or spoon-feed us a sacharine finale were Charlotte becomes pregnant, Carrie becomes Mrs Big, Samantha utters the words "I Love You" and Miranda throws of her cynicism. But No (thank God) the series bravely and deftly deals with the issues- Cancer, death, divorce, pregnancy, marriage and loss whilst mixing in healthy measures of fun, fashion and love under a wide spectrum of sexuality in front of a stunning New York backdrop.
This series is just so damn WATCHABLE! Plenty of boxsets are probably relegated to the shelves in countless homes only to be dug out once anually as and when the mood takes but this is a keeper! Killer one-liners, great soundtrack, beautiful scenery and a stellar cast with palpable chemistry between them all!
Really, own this box set NOW!!!

I only have one critisism:

WHERE ARE THE SPECIAL FEATURES????????
Okay, it's a given that some box sets come with a number of "superfluous To Requirement" discs containing more behind the scene's shenanignas then you would care to view but SATC has........ NONE (Well, none of worth). Series 1 has a Blink-&-You'll-Miss-It " featurette" shared with Season 3 disc as well as sharing an "Awards & Nominations" feature with Season 2 disc. And that, other than the obligatory Cast & Crew option, is it. Where are the deleted scenes??? Where's the blooper reel (how funny would that have been?) Where's the massive style extra with the top designers and contributors to the show??? Where's the interview with Candace Bushnell (who wrote the book FYI)??? Where are the recipies for the cocktails???? When you consider that some box set's go to such lengths to cram extra's into their releases that they'll interview the catering lady for 5 3/4 hrs that HBO haven't taken the time to give us quality extra's to this Platinum-Quality series.

But still, you dont always get what you want and i'll still give it the 5 *'s it deserves.

Pull up a chair, get a Browney & a coffee / olive & a Martini and enjoy some of the best entertainment produced this century. Pure high-heeled Classic!
