Edel Coffey: Women of all ages can relate to Sex and the City

"Some say the real reason people loved the show was because it represented women in a way they hadn’t been seen on screen before — as imperfect, sexual and emotionally ambivalent beings, just like their male counterparts."

I was slightly surprised at all the fuss around Sex And The City arriving on Netflix earlier this month. 

People were behaving as if the show had been sealed in an underground crypt for the past 20 years and was just now being released onto an unsuspecting world like radioactive waste.
