Sex and the City - The Complete First Season Customer Reviews (4 - 6 of 30 Reviews)

Being Single and Fabulous was never so entertaining!
Sex and the City is, in a few words, the wittyest, funniest, and most entertaining piece of television on the air. With the passing of its British counterpart, "Absolutely Fabulous," thank God that HBO has come up with a show that is intelligent and hilarious. Carrie Bradshaw, a "sex anthropologist" who writes a column about the modern woman's dating woes, finally finds the right man in Mr. Big, although in one second season episode she thinks the relationship is over because he won't let her leave a hair dryer at his apartment. Carrie is the only "single and fabulous" woman that has a stable relationship. Although she sometimes strays, "He was straight and a smoker. Everything that I was looking for that night." Her nympho high society friend Samantha has "survived the dating scene in New York for the past 30 years by becoming a hybrid. The body of a woman with the ego of a man." Samantha at least has the decency to sleep with a man only once before moving on, and on and on and on. Charlotte on the other hand, is a naive good girl who seems to lure bad boys. Miranda is a successful lawyer but is a paranoid woman, suffering from various neurosis. In one episode, she has the fantasy that she will remain single forever and end of dying eaten by her cat. Miranda prevents this by overfeeding her cat. These are all very real and interesting women, whose problems you can watch and say, "Yeah that's exactly what happens!" The show is pure pleasure to behold, with Carrie and her whacked-out friends trying to survive the single life in a New York filled with neverending chaos. I hope that they keep struggling forever, because without Sex and the City, Sunday nights wouldn't be as much fun! This show is definitely for mature people who enjoy watching four women work out problems that we all have in real life, only much much funnier.

Sophisticated & Fun: Loved It!
This must have been great Cable-TV when it was on HBO, to which we don't subscribe. It's even better in the DVD version. High quality resolution AND surround sound via DVD make this a must-see for intelligent, sophisticated viewers who don't find much to satisfy on standard network TV.

In fact, if even movies were this good, we'd be going all the time! The writing is superb, as is the acting, sets and fast-paced story line. If you've ever lived, as a single, in a large urban city and were remotely involved in the 'dating game', then you'll be able to relate to the characters. While mostly women, there are enough male characters for both sexes to connect with the 'dating game' and its ups and downs-- and the characters' ambitions, loves, fears and shared joys. Now I know why there has been so much "buzz" about this series... It's a totally sexy, hip romp! (Note: this is defintely not something that "Christian Coalition" types will admit to liking....!)

Season 1....Just the Beginning
If you haven't seen Sex and the CIty Season one, I won't ask you what's wrong with you. I will ask, however, have you been living under a rock? I was. This past fall a girlfriend turned me onto Sex and the City. I had seen a few episodes here and there and had enjoyed them. It wasn't until I sat down and spent three hours watching Season 1 that I realized I love this show. Let's meet the cast

Carrie Bradshaw - Professional Writer. Is also known as a shoe shopping addict. The series revolves around her column and she narrates at times.
And who better to help her with her columns? Her friends!

Miranda Hobbs - Attorney. She is the independent type. Doesn't need help from a man, nor does she want the help.

Samantha Jones - PR Executive. She owns her own PR firm and enjoys having sex like men. No feelings, no emotions, just sex. And she has a lot of it.

Charlotte York - Art Buyer. She is the traditionalist in the group. She wants to get married, have kids, the townhouse in the city, the country home in the hamptons. She is looking hard for Mr Right.

Together these four women bring you into their lives and share with you their dating ups and downs.

Season 1 Is also the introduction of one of my favorite reoccuring characters, Mr Big played by Chris Noth (Law and Order)

Sex and the City is a must have. Watch as Carrie and Mr Big try to have a drink "thing." Watch as Miranda is mistaken for a lesbian because she choses to be single. Watch as Sam has sex like a man, and watch Charlotte keep looking for Mr right in what seems to be all the wrong places.

If you don't want to buy it, rent it. Then you'll in love with it, as I have, and buy it!
