Sharing is caring!

After nearly three decades since its debut, will the iconic show still captivate and evoke the same emotions as it did in its heyday?

Chances are you’ve come across TikTok clips or social media memes featuring these four female friends navigating life, work, and the dating scene in late 1990s and early 2000s New York—or perhaps your mom has mentioned it. This classic comedy-drama captured the hearts of teenagers and young adults with its relatable content and witty humor back then.

Although the series ended in 2004, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha remain unbound—and now they’re set to conquer Netflix. Starting this month, all six seasons of Sex and the City will be available to approximately 260 million subscribers of the streaming platform giant. But will it charm the Gen Zs?

Will Gen Zs Swipe Right to ‘Sex and the City’?

Building on the popularity of classic shows like Friends and Suits, which have garnered thousands of views on Netflix, creators are optimistic about Sex and the City’s potential to attract a new generation of viewers. With its enduring themes of girl friendship, romance, and city life, the show’s relatable storyline transcends generational boundaries.

Years ago, the comedy series broke new ground with its honest portrayal of female friendships and sexuality, approaching taboo topics with wit and humor. However, in today’s landscape saturated with shows, particularly on platforms like Netflix, that openly address contemporary issues and trends, its once-groundbreaking status may seem less remarkable now.

Moreover, upon closer examination of all 94 episodes, viewers may uncover themes that were not culturally significant when the series originally aired but have since become highly relevant topics of discussion. These include the show’s promotion of consumerism, frequent portrayal of heavy drinking, depiction of white privilege, use of insensitive language, and inclusion of crass comments that may offend certain communities, such as the LGBTIQA+ community.

As a generation characterized by their social consciousness and emphasis on inclusivity, Gen Z viewers may approach Sex and the City with a critical eye. They may question the lack of racial diversity among the main cast and challenge traditional norms and values.

Or, they can enjoy the fun episodes and discover what it feels like to be dumped with a Post-It note, learn about the concept of being trisexual, and realize the ripple effects of adult decisions. Watching a show that depicts sex and dating before social media and dating apps can actually be fun and heartwarming.

What about you? Are you willing to give Sex and the City a chance? Despite the time gap, you might actually find yourself immersed in the lives of Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha—as well as the juicy issues and drama that come with their friendship.
