As a TV show,And Just Like That …is a pratfall.
Carries clumsy; Sarah Jessica Parker trained as a ballerina anddoes all of her own falling.
But watching season one of the sequel series was like seeing someone accidentally twist their own ankle.
We got a fumblingly woke Miranda torching her marriage to Steve (poor Steve!
(Ches sitcom is calledChe Pasa.)
As a stunt, its better executed with cleaner technique.
Miranda tries a strap-on, and Charlotte worries about Harrys ability to come.
And in looking backward, it underemphasizes the new dynamics where the writing is most secure.

Are its characters pointedly oblivious or accidentally so?
Watch one episode and the show seems like its collapsing.
Watch another and it looks as if its about to right itself.
It never does either never stops moving long enough to become any one thing.
