The announcement that the polarizing first season of And Just Like That will conclude with a special documentary examining the legacy of Sex and the City, as well as the development of its new spin-off, has Twitter abuzz.
HBO announced the new documentary will stream on February 3, kicking off speculation of a forthcoming announcement of Season 2, which, in turn, has launched love-it-or-hate-it fights over the divisive new show.

And Just Like That sparked much debate among critics and fans of Sex and the City alike for various plot twists, including the sudden death of Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) longtime beau, Mr. Big (Chris Noth), Carrie’s bestie Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) coming out as a lesbian, and the introduction of nonbinary “comic” Che Diaz (Sara Ramírez).
How about we take this to the next level?

The sudden death of actor Willie Garson, who played Carrie’s longtime friend Stanford, added a cloud of gloom to the show, and allegations of rape and sexual misconduct against Chris Noth have not helped the reception either. Then there was actress Kim Cattrall’s refusal to reprise her role as the beloved character Samantha that led to much fan disappointment. Cattrall also did not participate in the new documentary.

Now, the tweets…

And just like that, we wait for season 2 in anticipation of what was once a reputable franchise, to course-correct and bring back the integrity that this story deserves.

In the season 2 premiere of And Just Like That, Che Diaz is going to overdose on weed and pass away

The reveal that Che is on the level and being totally honest with Miranda had me on my feet.
And just like that may be suffering from Ted Lasso season 2 syndrome: Had they just dumped all the episodes at once it would be better received. Repeat viewings will redeem it!

Here’s to hoping there is no season 2 of ‘And Just Like That’ I couldn’t even finish season 1 it was so cringey.

I’m literally only watching “and just like that” for the plot. I probably won’t watch season 2 if there is one.

i hope the writing is better in season 2 of And Just Like That. cause this episode was a waste.

It’s worth noting that the original creator of SATC Darren Starr wasn’t involved. Kim Cattrall should be applauded for avoiding this trainwreck. The mean girls came back for the 10M dollar paycheck and karma bit them in the ass bc this is complete garbage. I hope there is no season 2 of this travesty

I don’t give a f**k what anyone thinks about the show. I love it.I feel like I am reuniting with old friends . And just like that I have fallen in love with Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte all over again.

The second movie was such a s**tshow I couldn’t even stomach the series…

Forget this turkey.
It’s much more fun watching Christine Baranski as “The Gilded Age” version of Downton Abbey’s Maggie Smith.

Yes, and Baranski’s son Oscar is gay!
So we can count on “The Gilded Age” to be yet another “gay” show that NEVER gets mentioned on Queerty!! (Even though Cynthia Nixon is in it too?)

They never said much about “The Other Two” or “Hacks” either – both which have been renewed, BTW.
