""Most 'big-hearted comedies' treat you like a child, most crime shows assume you are very stupid, most dramas take for granted that you are easily manipulated.""
""It's the rare show brave enough to hate the viewer a little bit, and its own characters so much more.""
""Writers who loved or even liked Carrie Bradshaw might kill off Mr. Big, but they would not make her host a podcast.""
""Beginning, in Episode 1, with the first line: 'The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into.'""
And Just Like That... concludes after three seasons, portraying a distinctive approach to storytelling that diverges from typical viewer expectations. The show characterizes itself by a willingness to be unapologetically harsh towards its characters and audience alike. Major plot decisions, like killing off key characters and altering personalities, create a sense of disbelief. Additionally, Carrie Bradshaw's recurring writing endeavors are presented humorously, as her writing is juxtaposed with criticism. This season sees her attempt a historical novel, with lines that present her craft in a questionable light, further amplifying the show's perceived contempt towards its viewers and characters.
