Esther McCarthy: Gaffes, gaffs and gahs as Carrie and gang return to our screens

I couldn’t stop myself tuning in for the first episode of season three. What can I say? I’m an optimist. I was hoping it might redeem itself, get back to the brilliance of the original

Just Like That recently returned to screens with the first episode of season three.

About this time two years ago, I was asked to review episode one of season two of And Just Like That... I was a Sex and the City fan, I loved the smart dialogue, the fabulous friendships, the fashion, the romance, the glamour of it all.

But I hated that first episode. I ended the review by writing: “‘Life’s too short not to try something new,’” coos Carrie over her poached fecking egg. It’s also too short to watch this ever again.”
