Sex and the City - The Complete First Season

Before the ladies of Sex and the City had a clothing budget that rivaled Oprah's net worth, they were just four thirty-somethings focused on navigating the trials and tribulations of dating in Manhattan. The first season is pretty much verbatim from the Candace Bushnell book of columns for which the show is named, and it bears very little resemblance to the show that eventually evolved. The pilot looks very much like it was filmed in the mid-90s and seems to have been filmed months, if not years, before the following episodes. SJP's hair is a dingy brown, Kristin Davis is sporting a flipped bob haircut, Cynthia Nixon has a cell phone so huge it reminds me of Zach Morris', and Kim Cattrall has the worst hair extensions I've seen since Britney Spears. Also, the first season has a "man on the street" section where, similar to the HBO show Real Sex, the camera focuses on typical New Yorkers and asks them how they feel about the topic of Carrie's topic for the week. Carrie herself talks to the camera frequently as well, which can be disconcerting if you've only seen the later episodes. There are all sorts of little hidden gems in this original season, like the knowledge that Samantha actually had her eyes set on Big way before Carrie got him, Charlotte's been obsessed with marriage from the very beginning, and Miranda wasn't always such a workaholic. Though it's not nearly as good as the seasons that followed, the first season of Sex and the City is definitely worth watching to see the humble beginnings of a show that changed the way women view themselves, their friendships, and their relationships.

Sex and the City not only helped establish HBO as much as the Sopranos did, but it also gave adult viewers a show about grown-ups going through mature experiences often funny, sad, ridiculous and unexpected. The movie never felt forced or uninspired until last year, when it went off the tracks creatively. But even then, you still cared about what happened to these four women.It's comedy, its dramatic leanings and emotional diversions have often had the upper, stronger hand in the storytelling.This movie sort of grows on you, even though it's quite possibly the most man-hating thing ever created.

very please with the speed with which i received sex in the city

This product arrive in perfect condition and in a timely manner. I would reccomend it to anyone over the age of 18.

So says Kristin Davis, as Charlotte, when confronted with the idea of performing a particular sex act. This hilarious and clever series has many clever lines and funny moments that pass in the blink of an eye. I can't believe it has taken me this long to finally watch the show that everyone has been talking about for eight years.
