AJLT as a women in my 40s, did the first couple episodes have some unnecessary moments yup..but by episode 5 definitely glad I stuck it out..life, marriage, kids, death sickness etc real stuff. Like the nod to nostalgia but enjoy these characters evolving & changing it's more realistic..Do we really want these characters to be running around NYC like they did in there 30s nope..This concept is way better then that second movie..Love Samantha but if Kim Cattrall is over playing the character, people get recast all the time..I cld go either way a recast or just leave the character out in real life not all relationships make the cut so why not explore that it happens unfortunately
