In case you slept through the late nineties and most of the noughties, Sex and the City is an American show set in Manhattan. It follows Carrie Bradshaw, a writer of a sex column in the fictional newspaper 'The Star', and her three friends Charlotte York, Samantha Jones and Miranda Hobbes. All are successful, witty, intelligent and beautiful women....and still single. Though the show concentrates on Carrie, it follows the lives, loves and sexual exploits of all the girls in the show.
Though the title might fool you, the show is not nearly as explicit as you might think. This is because it concentrates on what its like to be a single career girl in your thirties, and not just on their sex lives. However, the first series is definitely the most explicit, with the final series being rated mostly '15'.
Now for the DVD itself. There isn't much in the way of special features (e.g. behind the scenes featurettes), which I found disappointing. There are a wide range of subtitles to choose from (Arabic anyone) and in series 4 there is a short synopsis of the episode you are about to view, but that is about it.
The shoebox packaging makes for easy and attractive storage on the shelf. The dvds are inside two 'books', and there is an episode list inside the cover of these books.
Overall, this would make a fabulous present for any fan of the show, though I must warn you it can get very addicitve.
