I finally watched the first two episodes.
- Are we really supposed to believe that Miranda, who spent 30 years working in New York corporate law, would not show up in a professional manner and probably be very guarded about what she says?
- It's good to see Carrie has experienced zero growth. She is still obsessed with shoes, and centred entirely on herself. The way she expects her friends to do sleep-overs at her place, like she is a child, is quite something.
- The obscene wealth and privilege leaves a bad taste in my mouth. At least Succession makes a point that it finds its characters awful.
- I see they are still suggesting that Anthony and Stanford are the only two gays alive in NYC.
- @Holly's comment that each character now has a POC accessory couldn't be more true. Having a diverse cast makes sense, but why not do it in a more organic way than here's Charlotte's new friend - she's black!!!!, here's Carrie's boss - they are Mexican and non-binary!!!, here's Miranda's college professor - she's black too!!!!
- The only thing less subtle was turning Miranda into an alcoholic in about two and a half scenes.
- The show was seriously lacking Kim Cattrall (or Christina Aguilera) for comic relief. I didn't laugh but I groaned a lot.
