Series six is the final series of the wonder that is Sex and the City! I am devastated that it has to end but what an ending! This last series is one of the most exciting series yet. We see Carrie go through several men Jack Berger who I think was wrong for her from the start, also a writer Berger couldn't handle the competition when Carrie's book was doing so well. Then of course Aleksandr Petrovsky whisks her of her feet with good old-fashioned romance. Aleksandr was an interesting choice for Carrie (Who obviously has a thing for older men) a wealthy Russian artist they couldn't be more different but their was something about him that she liked. We all knew it was never going to last when he took her of to France to live, Carrie is a true Manhattan girl who is love with her City, as fabulous as she was in Paris her style will always be New York. Of course we couldn't get through a whole series without the return of Mr Big Carrie's returning true love. Miranda has some fun in this series when she gets together with a sexy Doctor that moves into her building, Doctor Robert, he does a little more than tend to her chicken pox, much to Steve's horror when he catches them at it. But deep down Miranda and Steve love each other and eventually they decide to settle down and get married (But not in an icky way). Charlotte and Harry have their ups and downs in this series as well, first they were together then they weren't, then they are and they get married but it the wedding day is less than perfect. We then watch them struggle to get pregnant and in a heart-wrenching episode find out that Charlotte has suffered a miscarriage (I cried watching this episode so have the tissues handy). In then they decide in adoption now all they have to do is wait. Samantha has a lot to deal with in this series, first of all she realises that she has real feeling for the gorgeous young Smith. He is the best thing that has ever happened to Samantha and she is one lucky lady because he is so sexy. But wit the good comes the bad and Samantha is diagnosed with breast cancer, the episode when she finds out and tells the girls her news is also very sad (More tissues needed). Like a real trooper Samantha remains as fabulous as ever sporting different styles of wig (even an afro) that match her outfits. This series has some really great moments both happy and sad and it ties up lose ends nicely, I am sad that it had to end but I think they stopped at the right time, sometimes things can be over done and story lines stretched to far but this series was just perfect in every way. I also like the fact that none of the storylines were that obvious. It would have been easy to give charlotte a baby because she was the person who wanted one, but instead they gave a baby to Miranda the highflying lawyer whose career is her life. Samantha has always been very happy with her body even posing naked for her own personal photographs so for her to find out that she has breast cancer is a real shocker. The same with Carrie why move her out of Manhattan to Paris, she is New York City.
