And Just Like That Kills Off LTW's Dad For Second Time
It's fair to say that Sex and the City's much-anticipated sequel series, And Just Like That…, has courted backlash and ridicule from viewers ever since it first hit our screens back in 2021. In addition to uproar over the shock death of Carrie Bradshaw's husband, Big, in the very first episode of the show, the series has been criticized for everything from trying to be too "woke," to beloved SATC characters seemingly undergoing huge personality transplants. There was also the producers' defiant attempt to make 'queer, nonbinary, Mexican Irish diva' Che Diaz a thing despite overwhelming disdain from fans across the show's first two seasons before the character was finally axed ahead of Season 3, which premiered last month. In short, AJLT is hardly renowned for being the most high-brow show on air, however, it has maintained a loyal following of fans who simply can't get enough of it despite its apparent shortcomings. Which is why when showrunners made a pretty monumental faux pas in last week's episode of the show, viewers couldn't help but laugh at the oversight rather than be shocked by it. In case you missed it, AJLT has hit the headlines after it killed off Lisa Todd Wexley — also known as LTW's — father for the second time in three seasons. However, most people did not catch this continuity error until the most recent episode of Season 3, 'Silent Mode,' aired on Thursday, where LTW was shown learning about her father's death at age 90 following a stroke — and the online reaction has made this blunder even funnier. Reacting to an Indie Wire article about the error, one incredibly viral tweet simply reads: 'Perfect show.''some of you just can't grasp avant garde art,' one more joked. Another suggested: 'And Just Like That should really lean in and kill Lisa Todd Wexley's father every season.'Somebody else quipped: 'Jfc media literacy is at an all time lowww It's just not that complicated 😭 Her dad died, (which she mentions in the pilot ) and THEN the vampire that turned her was staked between seasons, which she's grieving. Do you people even watch tv?''literally who GAF like i hope her dad dies in S4 too,' another more theorized: 'Maybe it's a Mamma Mia situation and she has three dads? You don't know.''God forbid a prestige HBO show explores the nature of resurrection,' somebody else tweeted, while another simply asked: 'How could you not be obsessed with this show?' For what it's worth, on Monday, Entertainment Weekly reacted to the discourse by saying that they have just learned that the dad referenced in Season 1 was actually LTW's stepdad, not her biological dad as seen in Season 2. However, considering this pretty important tidbit of information wasn't actually mentioned anywhere in the actual show, it definitely seems more like a revisionist edit in response to the blunder rather than the showrunners' original intention — but I'll let you be the judge of that in the comments below!

‘Sex and the City' fans spot insane blunder on ‘And Just Like That' about a character death
And just like that, Lisa lost her father…twice? 'Sex and the City' fans are pointing out a glaring continuity error on the spinoff show, 'And Just Like That,' as the show appeared to kill off a character who was already dead. 'My father died this afternoon,' Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) says in the most recent Season 3 episode. 'He had a stroke out of nowhere.' Advertisement The episode, called 'Silent Mode,' also includes his funeral. Observant viewers were quick to point out that in Season 1, Lisa also talked about her dad dying. 6 Nicole Ari Parker in 'And Just Like That.' HBO 6 Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon in 'And Just Like That.' AP Advertisement After 'And Just Like That,' controversially began by killing off Big (Chris Noth) in Season 1, Lisa observed Carrie's reaction and told Charlotte, 'I was exactly the same when my father died last year.' Oddly, Season 2 then introduced her father, played by Billy Dee Williams. Now, Season 3 has killed him off…seemingly forgetting that he was apparently already dead in Season 1. 6 Billy Dee Williams and Nicole Ari Parker on 'And Just Like That.' HBO Advertisement 'Did ChatGPT write these episodes?' one viewer wrote. Another fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, 'Not And Just Like That killing Lisa Tod Wexley's father twice! @HBO Do you even care? Please pay attention!' A third viewer wrote, 'sooooooo, lisa's dad was already [dead] on [season] 1 ep 2. i guess he reincarnated for a dinner party lisa hosted in [season] 2. now we're on [season] 3 ep 6 and it's lisa's dad's funeral. cancel 'and just like that' pls. put us outta our misery.' 6 Nicole Ari Parker on 'And Just Like That.' HBO Advertisement 6 Kristin Davis on 'And Just Like That.' HBO The Post reached out to reps for 'And Just Like That' and HBO for comment. The original 'Sex and the City' followed Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), and her friends Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) and Charlotte York (Kristin Davis) through dating adventures in New York City. 'And Just Like That' follows the friends dealing with life and dating in their '50s – without Samantha, amid behind-the-scenes cast feud rumors, which SJP has denied. 6 Sarah Jessica Parker and Kristin Davis on 'And Just Like That.' Max Cattrall did make a brief cameo in Season 2, and Samantha made an offscreen cameo (via text message) in a recent episode of Season 3. Lisa is among the new characters added to the ensemble of 'And Just Like That,' along with Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury) and Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez), who was fired from the show before Season 3. Advertisement This isn't the first time an HBO show had a high profile continuity error, as 'Game of Thrones' infamously left a coffee cup onscreen in the medieval fantasy show by mistake. 'And Just Like That' airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Max.
