‘And Just Like That’ Fails to Address Sexuality in Later Life

In a recent episode of the Sex and the City reboot, And Just Like That, Charlotte raised an important question about the impact of not having sex on her relationship with Harry. Harry had been dealing with erectile dysfunction and incontinence due to prostate cancer, sparking discussions about the challenges couples face when sex becomes compromised. This storyline hinted at a deeper exploration of intimate relationships, but unfortunately, the show shied away from delving into this issue.

And Just Like That has faced criticism for its lack of character development and missed opportunities to address real-life issues faced by menopausal women. The original series broke ground by openly discussing the sex lives of thirty-something women, but the reboot seemed more focused on superficial aspects like fashion and luxury. Fans were eager to see how the characters would navigate sex in later life, but the show fell short of expectations.

While the first two seasons did touch on some interesting developments in the characters’ lives, many important topics were only briefly mentioned and not fully explored. Instead, the show seemed to sideline the women’s experiences in favor of focusing on secondary storylines that lacked depth. This missed opportunity to truly engage with the challenges faced by menopausal women left viewers wanting more from the series.

Ultimately, And Just Like That will not have the chance to delve into the groundbreaking territory that could have set it apart from its predecessors. Despite its potential, the show’s final season will leave many questions unanswered and viewers disappointed in its lack of meaningful exploration of important issues.
