...uninitiated with the delights of Sex in the City here's my quick introduction to the show for you... Carrie - (Sarah Jessica Parker) The main character, a newspaper columnist who also broadens her field into book writing too. She's a true New Yorker, she just loves her clothes and is a style icon! In previous series Carrie has met and dated Mr Big (a screen nickname... read into it what you will), had her heart broken and had continuing run ins ...
...in the New York City... sex and equally man mad! A true explorist, everything you've dreamed or fantasised of... she's done it! Numerous relationships, practically a new man every relationship!

...Parker's pregnancy, Season 5 of Sex and the City consists only of 8 episodes. This means that this DVD does seem like an awful lot of money, even as big a fan as I am I was reluctant to buy this DVD at first. (If I had known that as soon as I had it it would get stolen from me I wouldn't have bothered, but that's anbother story.) Back to the point - there are only 8 episodes on this DVD, which makes it seem like a lot for a little, however, these ...
...It was decided when Sarah Jessica Parker discovered she was pregnant that it would be best for her character not to write the pregnancy into the show. Hence only the 8 episodes. However, by ther end of the season she was, of course, beginning to show, and one of the highlights of this season is seeing how magnificently the stylists managed to hide her bump with the clothes and accesories. Maybe more so than any other series the clothes were a big ... Read review

I love Sex And The City, its so funny and its just really compelling viewing, but i didnt think this until series three. I dont rate the first 2 seasons at all, i didnt like the parts where random members of the public make comments with carries voice over - which also took alot of getting used to. My dislike of the first two seasons isnt helped by the fact that you can only buy the season one dvd is NTSC format, which means if youre dvd player is ...
...When we reached season three, sex and the city had become a cult show, everybody had at least heard of it. In my view thats when the quality started to pick up. I love seasons three and four, but then, when we get to season 5, suddenly we're rationed to 8 episodes -whats going on there? where are the other ten? I cant speak for everybody, but i personally feel very scammed indeed about only getting 8 episodes in seasons 5 and 6. I like sex and the ... Read review
