Thanks to great writing, real-life NYC backgrounds, and enthusiastic acting by the four female leads,
Sex and the City is nearly flawless in its excellence and fun. If it has a flaw, perhaps it is that it is ‘completely addicting#%92!
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.

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.
