Watching Sarah Jessica Parker play Carrie Bradshaw was a lot of fun. Thanks to her outfits and musings, Sex And The City became one of the most popular series about platonic and romantic relationships alike.
While many fans agree about the best parts of the HBO series, from the close friendship that the woman have to Carrie's major love interests, there are some who have taken to Reddit to share what unique viewpoints they have. Everything is fair game for criticism, from the main characters to how relatable the show is.
10 Carrie Shouldn't Have Lived Happily Ever After With Big
Mr. Big is a commitment-phobe but many fans love Chris Noth's character and think that he and Carrie have a magical, fairy tale love story. As it turns out, not everyone feels that way.
One fan didn't love that Carrie and Mr. Big had a happily ever after. The fan posted on Reddit, "Carrie ends up with Mr. Big?! He treated her so badly throughout the entire show. They cheated on their s.o. multiple times. He treats everything like it’s up in the air.
9 Carrie Is A Likable Character
There are many things about Carrie that confuse viewers and not everyone loves her. One of the most popular opinions about SATC is that Carrie complains too much and is too selfish. Not everyone loves following along with her writing career or seeing what is happening in her love life.
One fan's unpopular opinion is that Carrie is a likable character. They wrote on Reddit, "She is a good character overall, even if the writers dropped the ball a few times. I just see her as a woman of her times going thru life, with ups and downs like the rest of the girls. I've never understood the way people pick her apart for all her faults."
8 Carrie Treated Aiden Badly
Carrie often chooses guys who don't love her and her romance with Aiden (John Corbett) is usually a popular one because he was so nice. But while many fans think that they were a great match and that they should have ended up together, there are some who aren't so certain.
Some fans posted in a Reddit thread that Aiden was better than Carrie. They discussed how Carrie "played him" and said that he was a kind person who wanted to settle down and she used him.
7 Berger Was A Good Love Interest For Carrie
The general feeling is that Jack Berger was a total jerk and one of the worst love interests that Carrie had, as Ron Livingston's character ended their romance with a post-it note.
But some fans discussed in a Reddit thread that they liked watching Berger. One fan said he was "cute and funny" but "insecure" and another said they knew he was mean, but he was fun to watch.
6 Carrie Was Actually A Nice Friend To Have
5 Charlotte Was Too Conceited
One of Kristen Davis's most well-known parts is playing Charlotte York on Sex And The City and many fans love her, as she's generally considered to be kind, stylish, and proper.
A few fans posted in a Reddit thread that they don't like Charlotte. One wrote that she was "pretty entitled and thought she was better than everyone else" and another said that she judged people too much.
4 No One Would Accept Carrie's Wealthy Lifestyle Except Big
While the women on SATC dated many guys for a brief time, it's fair to say that Big is always going to get the most attention of anyone.
A fan shared on Reddit that only Big would be okay with Carrie wanting to live a certain kind of way. They wrote in a thread about the "best" person Carrie dated and said, "May be unpopular opinion but definitely Big. He's the only one who could deal with her needing all these $400 shoes and expensive lifestyle that she expected."
3 Natasha Knew What She Was Doing
Things between Carrie and Big were always complicated, especially when he married Natasha (Bridget Moynahan) and then Carrie and Big dated secretly while he was still married.
As a fan wrote on Reddit, they thought Natasha had a part to play in this affair, as she explained to Carrie that she could tell Big was a cheater. The fan said she wasn't "the angel the show tried to portray her as" and that she only wanted to marry Big for his money.
2 Carrie Wasn't Perfect And That Was The Point
Carrie went through a lot on the series and while her character arc was always entertaining, she also changed her sense of style.
While many point out that Carrie is imperfect, one fan wrote in a Reddit thread that of course she is. They said that Carrie has "flaws" and that's part of her character. The fan posted, "Carrie has NUMEROUS flaws, hence the show... Yes, she’s selfish, narcissistic and sometimes irrational, but living by yourself, by your rules only, no kidlets or SO to worry about, why wouldn’t you be?"
1 The Characters Were Hard To Relate To
Sex And The City has aged badly in some ways. People still watch the show for the fashion and the friendships and it's interesting to hear what people have to say about it now.
One person shared that they don't think that the Sex And The City characters are easy to relate to. The fan wrote in a Reddit thread, "They sabotaged themselves over and over again. And when a decent guy came along that was actually good for them, they would implode with insecurities, which would spill into the relationship. It's really hard for me to relate to these characters nowadays." This is definitely an unpopular opinion as many fans enjoy watching SATC to see the main characters supporting each other and struggling with finding the right guy.
