This news was met with approval by those who disliked the practice of enjoying a show solely to criticize its flaws. However, for the fans who eagerly awaited each new episode, eager to see what humiliating situation Miranda would find herself in next, this cancellation has been quite disappointing, particularly since the series started to improve after a long time.
Certainly, While the third season might not have been perfect, it was an improvement over the previous two, finding its own unique groove within the show’s eccentric pace. It didn’t strive excessively to replicate the elements that made the original series exceptional.
During its last run, “And Just Like That” transformed into a unique entity, a blend of peculiar headgear, pungent body odor, and unappealing telephone conversations that surprisingly captivated viewers in a distinctly contrasting manner compared to Sex and the City.
As I penned the final episode for season 3 of And Just Like That, a profound realization washed over me: perhaps this could be an ideal moment to bring the story to a beautiful close.
I’d present a counterpoint instead. Now that Aidan and Duncan are no longer around (both of them gone), this situation offered a perfect opportunity for a fourth season to unfold, one where Carrie could explore singledom once more as an older woman who gets to enjoy herself again, much like in Sex and the City.
In the last episode, it leaves things set up in a way that we don’t get to witness how it unfolds in real life, which is disappointing as it denies us the chance to experience fully what the series could and ideally should have presented from the start.
It’s evident that the decision for the final episode came to King during the writing process, given that the previous eleven episodes likely weren’t initially conceived with a conclusive ending for the series in mind.
opting to wrap up the series at the last second resulted in a sloppy, incomplete ending that makes one wonder how much worse And Just Like That can get. In truth, those final 33 minutes are so subpar that they might even make you yearn for the golden days of Che Diaz… or perhaps even Aidan, almost.
It became clear that the finale would disappoint us when we learned its running time was only 33 minutes. After all, how could the series possibly tie up all the plotlines and provide a fitting farewell to characters we’ve adored for so long in such a short span? The truth is, it probably won’t.
Instead, what remains is each character apart (specifically during Thanksgiving), while Miranda struggles to maneuver through a chaotic situation involving real fecal matter in her residence.
It’s hard not to see similarities with what Cynthia Nixon has experienced in the last three seasons, where she seems to have gone through significant changes from her initial character, transforming Miranda into a somewhat different version for this follow-up series.
It’s equally appealing to note that wrapping up the series with a chaotic litter box situation seems appropriate, yet it wasn’t necessary for it to unfold this way.
In the opening of the finale, the ladies are together once more during a senior bridal fashion show. They reflect on the concept of marriage as they’ve entered their fifties, offering a glimpse of what ‘Sex and the City’ might look like today, even if it’s not profound. However, these scenes do stay true to the original series’ promise by addressing the evolving themes of relationships in the sequel show.
It’s odd how during Thanksgiving, the spotlight shifts towards Tom Brady’s ex, Mia, who arrives with irritating Generation Z stereotypes that bully Miranda, causing general discomfort.
This vacation could have been a touching, though predictable, opportunity for our favorite characters to reunite one last time, appreciating their achievements and looking forward to what’s coming next. However, the narrative focuses on characters we don’t really care about, wasting precious minutes without offering any real conclusions.
Since this marks our final encounter, we won’t have the chance to witness Brady’s child grow up, and therefore, will miss out on seeing Miranda transition into the role of a grandmother. This kind of storyline, seldom portrayed on television, had the potential to distinguish And Just Like That, offering a reason for its existence beyond mere nostalgia.
Steve makes a brief appearance in only a few episodes, mostly to express frustration with the world and emphasize the peculiarity of his accent that seems to have evolved over time. A single touching dinner scene with Miranda doesn’t fully convey the long history they had together as a significant duo on the original series.
Charlotte experiences a new phase in their relationship following Harry’s cancer recovery, as they haven’t been able to share intimate moments for several weeks. However, an unexpected change occurs. Harry experiences an erection, which seems like a miracle around Thanksgiving! Indeed, after three decades of storyline development, it turns out that Charlotte slips away to be intimate with Harry, leaving their daughter Lily to answer the door and relay the joyous news to Carrie.
Additionally, there’s a slight nod towards Charlotte addressing Rock’s gender identity once more, revisiting the same narrative theme with approximately the same amount of screen time that Big had in the first season.
Completing the initial group, one might anticipate some recognition that Samantha is indeed still around, perhaps enjoying her time in London. However, after her appearance in season 2 and a short exchange of messages earlier this season, Samantha has mysteriously disappeared without a trace.
Despite Kim Cattrall stating that she wouldn’t want to spend even an hour if she wasn’t enjoying herself, it feels strange not to acknowledge the beloved character of hers when saying goodbye.
It seems unusual not to pay tribute to her famous character, as she has expressed disliking situations she doesn’t enjoy.
The more recent characters aren’t doing too well. Lisa’s tale concludes weakly, not dramatically. It’s fortunate she didn’t argue with her editor because that would have led to complications the series failed to delve into due to its sudden termination.
In a change of heart, Seema eventually experiences personal growth when she decides to lower her defenses and celebrate Thanksgiving with Carrie’s charming gardener’s family. Wearing denim jeans can symbolize such growth.
In simpler terms, it seems illogical to split the final episode’s cast into large segments, but honestly, this show has always been somewhat incomprehensible. And let’s not even begin on where Anthony and Giuseppe end up, hinting at a gay wedding that queer viewers may never witness.
In simpler terms, this situation sets up perfectly for Carrie to be left on her own by the end, which is one aspect where the finale effectively delivers as intended.
Free from the repeated letdowns of certain men, Carrie now savors a piece of pumpkin pie and a spin on the karaoke machine she once disdained. In this act, our main character demonstrates that joy doesn’t stem from being loved. Rather, it springs from self-love, a truth that remains valid regardless of one’s age or circumstances in life.
Despite the fact that the book she completed is terrible and her song within the show seems to go on forever (at least an hour), what truly matters is that Carrie isn’t surrounded by others – she’s independent. And with that, the show sets up what could have been its most outstanding season yet, but unfortunately, it comes to a close.
Even though her finished novel isn’t great and her song within the show drags on for at least an hour, what really counts is Carrie’s independence – she’s on her own. And in doing so, the show sets up what could have been its most impressive season yet, but ultimately wraps up too soon.
In its concluding scenes, the series “And Just Like That” remained authentic to its chaotic self, ending much as it had since its debut – with a fair dose of disarray.
And Just Like That seasons 1-3 are showing on Sky Comedy and NOW.
