Despite the sex scenes and talks, this series is in general, about love. The relationships related to the four women, Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte, make up the soul of this drama, which lasted for six years and ended in happiness. Everybody started with a typical metropolitan chaos, wandering and dancing with their feet off the ground, unsettled in their mid-thirties' anxiety. They have decent jobs, lots of recreational activities, handful of love affairs and seemingly casual sex.
Samantha is the oldest among the four, and sometimes even dissolute. She dates numerous guys of virtually every type people can imagine, just to fuck them for one weekend, and no sequel. A so-called 'bad woman' in a Chinese, or probably most moral systems, yet she shuts out the judgements and shut in the fun for herself. Miranda is a terrific lawyer, yet she is always less confident facing the other gender, her neutral personality holds back her appeals to men, and her reasoning, though sharp and completely cool, never finds a way toward happiness or true love. Charlotte has good taste and inborn artistical beauty, yet her eagerness for marriage makes her a little silly and desperate now and then. Carrie is the most fashionable one in the quartet, the speaker of the four in each theme. She's sensitive and insightful, but the ability leads her to bewilderment and pain in her own affairs, again, and again.
But, no matter what they experience, the four will gather for a lunch or dinner, discuss their dates, boyfriends, surprises, or heart-breaking moments, of course, as the title shows, their never ending love for the New York city and sex experiences. Men are coming and going all the time, but in the center of all tornadoes, there's a peaceful corner to talk and hide.
If this is just some fashion show or display of nudity, then it could never have attracted audience for six years. People can see the wrinkles on their faces deepen with time, Miranda gave birth to a baby during the middle of the season which spoils her figure, and curiosity about how people in Big Apple spend their night fades quickly after visiting a dozen of openings, clubs and restaurants. So what keeps me in front of the screen?
