For a franchise that’s been discoursed as heavily as SATC, it’s odd that the huge increase in wealth isn’t more widely discussed
Photo: Craig Blankenhorn/HBO “You can’t be the white lady who just writes a check,” Miranda tells Carrie at brunch in this week’s episode of And Just Like That … when Carrie tries to donate her way out of volunteering to paint a women’s shelter. The implication here isn’t that Carrie is selfish . It’s also that Carrie is rich. Very rich. “That Versace gown from 2004’s Sex and the City finale”–level rich.
In the original TV series, there were teeny glimmers of financial reality, like in season four of SATC, when Carrie’s addiction to Manolo Blahnik heels and expensive Manhattan lunches finally caught up with her. In the aftermath of her breakup with Aidan, Carrie was told that she must buy her beloved apartment or move out.
. SATC following the crowd at this moment was an early indication that its days of posing as a disruptor were over. It also confused the franchise’s selling point: The TV show blended aspiration with a shallow-but-engaging style of cultural commentary. The films, however, shifted to a much more vapid form of materialist escapism, right at a point when there were so many other places to access that type of content.
