“And Just Like That” Season 2: Glamour, Gossip, and a Plot That Lost Its Way
“And Just Like That…”, the much-anticipated revival of Sex and the City, returned for a second season hoping to find its rhythm after a rocky first outing. While fans were excited to reconnect with Carrie Bradshaw and the gang, Season 2 once again proved that nostalgia alone isn't enough to carry a series — especially when the plot is scattered, inconsistent, and often baffling.
Season 2 attempted to juggle too many threads at once, introducing new characters, revisiting old flames, and tackling modern social issues — but often in a way that felt forced and superficial. Carrie’s romantic storyline, for example, felt more like a half-hearted callback than meaningful growth. Meanwhile, Charlotte’s arc veered into caricature, and Miranda’s dramatic shift continued to polarize long-time fans, feeling more like a rewrite than natural evolution.
What really plagued this season, though, was the lack of cohesive storytelling. Scenes often jumped abruptly, character motivations were unclear, and key emotional beats didn’t land. The show seemed more interested in checking boxes — inclusivity, aging, relevance — than crafting a believable or compelling narrative.
Yes, the fashion is still fabulous, and the city is as much a character as ever. But behind the glam and glossy veneer, Season 2 of And Just Like That felt like a stylish reboot without a solid script. In the end, it left audiences wondering: where did all the clever writing go?
