Editorial Reviews
When Sex and the City debuted on HBO in 1998, the show's smart-mouthed quartet of New York City single gals sandwiched their superficial serial relationships between serious shopping sprees. But with each passing year, their characters have deepened (as have their ab-fab wardrobes). From the moment Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) confronts the "horror" of turning 35 in the opener, Season 4 has issues with a capital "I": impotence, abortion, cancer, even death. But while a lesser show might have turned such material into soapy sludge, SatC keeps the caustic wit bubbling up. Indeed, after Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) returns from her mother's deathbed, she leavens the blow with this postmortem: "She did open her eyes just long enough to veto my lipstick." Miranda goes full circle from death to life when her "sympathy shag" with Steve (David Eigenberg) results in an unwanted pregnancy -- and a very wanted baby, delivered in the surprisingly tender finale. The fertility gods are less kind to Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Trey (Kyle MacLachlan), who fail to fill the empty nursery in their Park Avenue apartment. Meanwhile, Samantha (Kim Cattrall) mood-swings into a "Sapphic slump" with a gorgeous lesbian artist (Sonia Braga), and Carrie moves in with the hunky Aidan (John Corbett). Neither liaison lasts. We know Carrie and Aidan are doomed when his dog chews her pricey stilettos, part of a $40,000 shoe collection that leaves her flat broke. This provokes a crisis until Charlotte offers a grand gesture of self-sacrifice: her 2.17- karat diamond engagement ring. In the SatC universe, this amounts to a kidney donation.
