There have been several missteps throughout this (limited?
series, like Miranda Hobbess inability to form coherent sentences when let loose among the woke.
Miranda pushes back against the suggestion that she is not acting like herself.
Am I not allowed to change a little bit?
Or change back again if I feel like it?
Do I have to follow my own rigid rules until the day that I die?
Similar questions about aging were foundational toSex and the City.
(The marriage- and motherhood-hungry Charlotte, of course, being the notable exception.)
But the ways in which it was highlighted also felt rooted in something akin to reality.
Shes in on the joke.
All thats missing is a copy ofAARPMagazineblowing out of a Manhattan gutter and smacking Carrie in the face.
More of Seema could have gone a long way toward improving this series.
In the early part of the season, her life looks grim in a lot of ways.
The problem is in the execution.
Hence, the drinking is dispensed with in episode five and barely discussed again.
But I cannot believe all of that based on the shows depiction of how it occurred.
Miranda is absolutely right when she tells Carrie that shes allowed to change a little or a lot.
It is right to zig and zag a bit.
But sensibility-wise, its in a different place thanSex and the City.
Its the thought that after all this time, I dont really recognize these people anymore.
