The Transformation of Carrie into a Prude: The Inexplicable Effect of “And Just Like That”

Carrie Bradshaw’s image has taken a hit in recent years, with many viewers finding her character unlikeable. One of her major flaws is her tendency to shame others about sex, which is ironic considering her job as a sex columnist. In the reboot series “And Just Like That…” the show tries to address past issues and embrace modernity and inclusivity. However, it seems that the character of Carrie has regressed and become more prudish. This doesn’t align with her previous portrayal and raises questions about her sudden change in attitude. As a sex columnist, one would expect her to be open and unreserved, but she now struggles even to say the word “vagina” on her podcast. It’s puzzling to see her become so reserved when sex and sexuality are more accepted and discussed in today’s society. In the original series, Carrie often looked down upon her friend Samantha for her sexual freedom, even though Samantha was a character who pushed boundaries and embraced her sexuality. This was highlighted in an episode where Carrie judged Samantha for engaging in a sexual encounter with the mailman. The inconsistency in Carrie’s character becomes even more evident when we consider her own affair with Mr. Big while she was dating someone else. In contrast, Samantha didn’t shame or judge her for her actions. The new series fails to show growth and progression in Carrie’s character, unlike the development we see in other characters like Charlotte and Miranda. Even Sarah Jessica Parker, the actress who portrays Carrie, has mentioned that she felt uncomfortable with nudity and wanted to be selective with the language her character used. This may have influenced the writers to make Carrie more judgmental, but ultimately, it’s the responsibility of the creators to shape the character. As the show moves forward, it’s important for Carrie to evolve and learn from her experiences. The audience wants to see her grow and adapt, especially as other characters undergo significant transformations. It’s time for the show to let go of Carrie’s prudishness and embrace a more open and mature approach to sex and intimacy.
