A month into the new year, and we find ourselves already at the end of season one of And Just Like That…, a “new chapter” of Sex and the City.Who among us, TFE readers, has been watching Sex and the City: Redux? A better question perhaps: Who among us hasn’t?
We want to thank Abe Fried-Tanzer for doing so much Emmy contender coverage for us this year. The Primetime Emmy Awards are, of course, the "draw" but it occurred to us recently that "primetime" and "daytime" have surely lost their meaning in our current streaming era.

We don't watch Grey's Anatomy but any excuse to share Sara singing "Whatever Happened to My Part?" we'll take it.
