"Sex and the City and Us" is the story of how a columnist, two gay men and a writers’ room full of women used their own poignant, hilarious, and humiliating stories to launch a cultural phenomenon, pushing the boundaries of television and ignited a national conversation about single women and sex in the process. While the show’s feminist merits continue to fuel debate, it taught viewers—male and female, gay and straight—about sex, and demonstrated that single women could support each other through life’s tribulations. Jennifer Keishin Armstrong's "Sex and the City and Us" brings readers behind-the-scenes for a nostalgic look at a TV series that changed the way women everywhere see themselves.

Based on acclaimed director Sydney Pollack’s 1975 film "Three Days of the Condor" and James Grady’s novel "Six Days of the Condor," "Condor" fuses narrative elements from both works into its 10-episode stretch. The plot follows a young CIA analyst, Joe Turner, who previously developed a government program intended to identify potential terrorist threats at high-risk locations around the world. His complex algorithm zeroes in on a nefarious mastermind, Nathan Fowler, who plans to orchestrate a plague-like outbreak on unsuspecting victims. Along the way, Fowler’s cohorts are tasked with eliminating Turner and his team, though Turner escapes as the sole survivor.
