Sex and the City wasn’t just a show, it was a movement. But as time passed, so did the fantasy. In this High and Low Retrospective, we revisit the show that redefined what it meant to be single, successful, and unapologetically female in turn-of-the-millennium New York City. From designer shoes and brunch tables to taboo-breaking dialogue and friendship that felt like religion, Sex and the City gave us a glittering version of liberation. But was it empowerment or just an expensive illusion? We explore the cultural impact, the criticism, and the legacy of Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte, from the groundbreaking highs to the very narrow lens of who got to feel “free.” What happens when we rewatch the show that raised a generation of women and ask what it left out?
