The show:
''It's about sex''. That's what anyone who hasn't watched more than one episode will say. They wouldn't be too wrong but, technically speaking it's not just about sex. Sure there is plenty of it - I mean it wouldn't have its name if there wasn't but, not only that it's about relationships in general, dating, love life, marriage and friendship. Yeah, Yeah, I hear you say - what's so special about all of that? That's just life! Well exactly!
Set in New York, the thing that makes this so special is it's done in a way that is open and frank talking but all the while still having that feeling of real life - four women who all have different careers and different ideas of the perfect relationship. We can feel for them and see ourselves in them - dating people who are just plain weird, meeting somebody who you think could be the 'one', dumping, being dumped, being in love etc etc. Throw into the mix that the four women are people women from all around the world can relate to and understand without having to explain themselves and throw into the mix the amount of fashion we see during the seasons it's a sure fire winner. So what about the men? Well they love the chance to see women actually talking in this open way and get a bit of insight into the female mind, they like the lots of nakedness going on, the scenes that are funny and of course the sex. What's not to like?

Carrie Bradshaw - Main star of the show and the narrator too. Carrie is played by Sarah Jessica Parker who is also one of the associate producers and part of the reason behind much believed conflict between a couple of the other actresses. Carrie is a journalist and writes a column called Sex and the city for the local paper on relationships and dating in the city. Most of her column pieces are based on her and her friend's experiences and generally the show will start by Carrie asking a question or making a statement for her latest piece where she will then try to answer by looking at what is going on around her. At the end of each episode she will round up with what she has found. She is the one who is a typical woman - looking for love and if the right man comes along she believes she will know and live happy ever after. Carrie is the one we see with the most unique wardrobe and the most fabulous clothes!

Charlotte York - Charlotte is the ever romantic! Falls in love easily and is always waiting for the perfect man to come along. She wants it all - the perfect man followed by a perfect set of children in the perfect New York home. Even though Charlotte is a successful woman in her own right she would give it all up to become a stay at home mother. Charlotte loves her friends to bits and always looks out for them. She doesn't often get angry and tends to sometimes verge on the edge of being a bit prudish about some things!
