Abstract
This essay examines the feminist and postmodern themes in And Just Like That… (2021–), and examines the malleability of their portrayal in its prequel, Sex and the City (1998–2004). Since its initial broadcast, Sex and the City has been the subject of several media and academic critiques, which argue that it inadequately addresses feminist themes, including the integration of sexuality and diversity concerns. Subsequently, the introduction of And Just Like That… has displayed a revised strategy for addressing issues from feminist and postmodernist perspectives. The essay concludes that And Just Like That… adopts a more implicit feminist approach and exhibits a diminished prevalence of postmodern ideas on current issues, tackling contemporary issues in a straightforward and earnest manner.
