| | Professional Reviews | DVD Verdict 8 of 10
Sex and the City chronicles the life of acclaimed sex columnist Carrie Bradshaw and her three friends - Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha, as they live their lives in New York City trying to find a balance between personal relationships and lots of good sex, and the challenge of juggling the two together. Moving between moments of sexual absurdity and profound realism, the show is a cross-section of the modern day realities - both real and mythological - of single women in North American society, of women coming into social and sexual maturity simultaneously...Whether you love it or hate it, the show has had a cultural impact and deserves to be respected - if only for managing to push the boundaries of what a television show can actually get away with (the solution, it seems, is to have your show on cable), pulling gags and stunts that other shows could never even hint at. - Adam Arseneau
