And Just Like That, Peloton Claps Back
After a controversial start to the Sex and the City reboot, Peloton comes out with a timely ad featuring Chris Noth and Ryan Reynolds.
And Just Like That is an HBO Max original series that is bringing back the ladies of Sex and the City. Well, not all of the ladies… Kim Cattrall’s absence as the trailblazing Samantha Jones has worried fans from the start. Can the series go on without such a beloved character?
The new series begins with our favorite New Yorkers navigating a quasi post-pandemic world in an opening scene that is both triggering and boring. I can’t speak for everyone but I know that personally, I am not ready to begin talking about the frustrations of mask mandates and social distancing. Firstly, because we have not fully left the pandemic in the past so the last thing I want from a fictional series is to continue living this nightmare in my free time. Secondly, because I think it’s going to take a long time to process this unique period of time before I am ready to visit any semblance of the pandemic world on screen. So immediately And Just Like That had me screaming TOO SOON!
