'And Just Like' That Finale: The Disastrous 3rd Season Ends in the Saddest Way — Goodbye Forever, Carrie Bradshaw

The series never managed to repeat the success of the original.
Today, we face the end of an era. Carrie Bradshaw — she’s everything. But it seems that this time, it’s truly The END. The upcoming finale of the third season of And Just Like That — set to air on 14th August — will mark the conclusion of the franchise’s story.
Yes, HBO has decided to close the chapter on Sex and the City’s continuation. For a moment, let’s pause — we are bidding farewell to a legend. An era where Carrie, Manolo Blahnik shoes, and a newspaper column seemed more vital than healthy relationships or financial literacy.
This news isn’t exactly shocking; in fact, the third season has arguably been even weaker than its predecessors. Showrunner Michael Patrick King attempted to demonstrate that these characters could age beyond the romantic clichés of the noughties, but sadly, what we got was a rather strange spectacle.
On one hand, there are rare flashes of genuine drama and honesty — moments that hint at depth and maturity. On the other hand, some lines feel as if they’ve been ripped straight from a script of The Fashion Police, with dialogue that often falls flat or feels out of place.
So, as we prepare to say goodbye to Carrie and her friends, it’s a bittersweet reminder: sometimes, even iconic franchises must come to an end. Here’s hoping future projects find a way to capture the true spirit of meaningful storytelling rather than just rehashing old glories.
