And just like that... it's over – ‘Sex and the City' revival show takes its final bow with a whimper
The HBO Max reboot of the hit series stutters to an end – and not a moment too soon ©Telegraph Media Group Holdings Ltd And just like that… it's over. The Sex and the City (SATC) universe – created in 1998 by Darren Star, and continued by Michael Patrick King via two films and the spin-off series And Just Like That... (AJLT), is no more. It ended not with a declaration of love with Duncan in London, nor a return to Carrie's original apartment, but with a karaoke machine and a raw turkey. At least there was a Molly Goddard tutu. Big is dead. Aidan is gone (again). And it's clear from the title of the final episode – 'Party of One' – that this is going one way for Carrie Bradshaw, who opened the episode confronting her newfound singledom in the worst place humanly possible: a hot pot restaurant.
