Ah, television. The most collaborative art form. While Matt and Nadia map out their takes on seasonal arcs for Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Seema, and Lisa, they also wax poetic on the industry at large and this show. Is And Just Like That… television? Is it an art installation? Is it careless? Did it lack planning? Is it indeed “openly hostile to its own source material,” as one reporter suggested? Wouldn’t Big have a family Carrie might see? How much money did Carrie spend on that apartment? What’s up with the American Law Institute? Did Che record a Netflix standup special? What HAPPENED?

Our beloved Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbes, and Charlotte York say goodbye (for now?) in a literally crap-tastic season — and series! — finale. Also, Lisa, Seema, and Anthony. One discovers that they are not alone, but on their own, after a run-in with Tommy Tomato. One finds a clogged toilet and hugs their partner, wearing the gloves they used to clean up the mess. One finally bangs her husband post-cancer treatment. One debates marriage to a man who just pissed in front of her. One stops an affair with Manic Pixie Dream Editor. Steve returns. Harry is there. Anthony gets creamed. All enjoy one of Carrie’s many Thanksgiving pies, except maybe Anthony. Jackie Hoffman says a line. We have come out the other side of Hades into springtime…except there’s been a nuclear blast outside.

We are near the end of the series of And Just Like That… with many, many questions left. Why does Carrie not understand how many slices of pie a person eats? Why do Adam and Seema suddenly say they love each other? Why does Harry think Miranda is obsessed with NPR and would not allow him the ability to watch a football game? Why does the principal of a high school make cartoon noises over Giuseppe? Why does Zeke have guns?! IS the woman alone? Are we all alone? Are any of us satisfied with our lives? Are we actually going to see Thanksgiving happen? BUT OUR MILITARY!

What was once the season finale is now merely a couple of episodes away from the series finale. Questions: Carrie has SEVEN bestselling books? Brady is incredibly nonchalant about getting a fuck buddy pregnant? Anthony is correct about an elder gentleman roommate being a puppet creep? Do we know WHY Herbert wanted to run for New York City comptroller? Are double Libras “such a vibe”? Did Charlotte just say, “Fuck Miranda” before getting a $40 psychic energy healing cleanse??? The only way out is through.

THIS IS IT, FOLKS! We’re…not quite done! How — nay, why! — did it take this long for Carrie and Aidan to finally end their tumultuous “relationship”? How is natural deodorant still a topic? If you’re over the age of 40, what are the new guidelines one should follow when dating someone new? Where is the Monty Python autobiography of Margaret Thatcher? What’s Bravo star Andy Cohen doing working at a department store, and why did it offend Bravo fan Matt so much? And why is there too much cheese in the Wexley’s fridge?!

Editor’s Note: It was unclear at the time if the two-episode finale of the show would air directly after episode 10 or not, so Matt and Nadia may refer to this as the penultimate episode, but it’s not. There’s more. Strap in.

So Aidan can show up whenever, but doesn’t explain why? Harry survives surgery, but his testicles are swollen? Lisa has a sex dream, but we don’t get to see it? Charlotte has vertigo, but just falls on a fake condom? “Flirking” isn’t a bit from Seinfeld? And what exactly is Carrie’s 1840s fiction book with “The Woman” about?! Bi Bingo thinkpieces, how alcoholism works and is portrayed on screen, NOT name-checking Tracey Emin and her bed art piece, and much more. This is just a man enjoying a vaginal shaped fruit. It's regular!

Buongiorno! Did someone say karaoke?! We're having a Charlotte birthday party. Carrie flirts by stealing sips of Scotch from a man who smokes a Sherlock Holmes pipe. No one will join Miranda in singing Cyndi Lauper. Bitsy von Muffler wants to be Lady Gaga. And somehow through it all, Patti damn LuPone doesn’t sing one iota. “I was never married.” “Neither was I.” We wondered, what have we gotten ourselves into? Ciao, bella!

How many times can one man die? Lisa’s father, who died in Season 1, then reappeared in Season 2, has died again in this episode. A homegoing, a Michael Kors dig, a mutton stew, a Bitsy von Muffling run-in, Aidan and Carrie’s broken glass metaphor, a Pippin funeral, a fake-but-real Tiffany’s event, and a 98% cancer survival rate. Plus, Bill Clinton’s new baseball podcast and more.

*NOTE: due to Mercury in retrograde and/or technological issues, Nadia’s sound quality is a little off. Thanks for your understanding and please respect our privacy during this difficult time.

We’re halfway (?) through Season 3 of And Just Like That… which means we’re all *checks notes* going glamping on Governor’s Island! S’mores are now made in the daytime. Nadia collects her prediction flowers. Matt points out the contradictions of developing a biography. Both agree on how they cast the naked man with a meat cleaver. “Nothing I have is nothing!” And inshallah Carrie stops wearing her shoes in the house.

In the latest episode of And Just Like That…, we get into Episode 4, featuring Carrie and Aidan in Virginia, with fights over Adderall, Bob the Boyfriend, and an Apples to Apples game we shan’t forget. Screaming MOTHERFUCKERS! around your teen sons. Sleepless nights and a Manic Pixie Dream Editor. Pettiness over tables weeks later. Cream sodas and BBQ sauce. Poly relationships and insufferable Brits. The ingredients are all here, but are they forward in the right flavors?
