'And Just Like That' Season 2 Episode 8 Recap: Aidan Figured Out How to Wear That Jacket
I think a big part of why I'm not excited by the fashion on AJLT is because I was so used to the Patricia Fields fashion of SATC, which was just always incredible — sure, sometimes it was ugly, but it was never not fun to look at. I wonder if I'd feel differently about the fashion on AJLT if SATC had never existed. Hard to look at it without comparing. (Although, tbh, I do think that most of the fashion on AJLT is pretty bad, aside from Seema's sequined outfit and Carrie's vintage sweatshirts.)
Also, I had a really hard time with the everlasting mourning of Big followed by "was he a mistake?" There was no lead up to that - it was just one extreme to another, and it felt abrupt and out of place. Sure, it's a valid question, but it seemed really forced after watching Carrie express this deep love for Big for basically the entirety of SATC and most of AJLT. (To be clear: I DO understand why she'd ask that, but ... a week with Aidan is enough to make her question it all? Doesn't some of it just have to do with youth, experience, etc?)
