I didn't feel the first AJLT series was quite as bad as others felt it was, if you took it as a different animal than SATC. But just as the movies increasingly tanked, desperately trying to reheat the concept, the new TV series is the same and going from so-so to worse. My reservoir of SATC goodwill is now bankrupt. I am two episodes into the second season and it is horrid! Uninteresting, no laughs and cleverness is nowhere to be found. The attempt to introduce new storylines through new characters falls completely flat - the viewer doesn't know or care about them and there is nothing engaging or compelling about them, it's just tedious to watch until one of the original SATC characters returns to screen. But that's no payback either. Most cringey is the whole Miranda arc with her unfunny comedian girlfriend. Obviously the intent throughout is to throw every non-binary and woke theme possible at the screen, ad infinitum, and it's one-track and tiresome. For an entertaining look at "mature" women, their friendships, relationship issues and contemporary dilemmas, go back to old Grace & Frankie shows which sparkled with wit and humor, not this disappointing flop.
