I would say that Sex in the City is a radical romantic comedy. The show
does "abandon the emphasis on making sure the couple ends up together,
and instead strives to interrogate the idealology of romance," as
described by Barker. Now, you can look at that in two different ways.
The first, being that it is a T.V. show and if they want to have more
episodes, then there needs to be doors closing and doors opening. Or,
the writers were really trying to make a statement and say that life
isn't always going to work out, and not every woman will get a man.
Either way you look at it, that is why this show is so controversial.
Many people think the show is too materialistic, unreal, shallow, etc.
But then again, the show has won a lot of awards, so it must be doing
something right. Girls can identify with at least one of the
characters, and this show is not afraid to be real. Couples do not
always end up together, and this show represents the reality of that,
and it also represents how friendship will always lead you through hard
times and break-ups.
