And Just Like That came to an end: why Carrie Bradshaw's loneliness is a happy ending.

According to Vox: The series 'And Just Like That' put an end to Carrie Bradshaw's perfect fairy tale, showcasing her loneliness. Over the last three seasons, viewers have followed the adventures of this best anti-heroine on television. After the original series 'Sex and the City' ended in 2004 (followed by the 2008 movie and its not-so-successful sequel in 2010), 'And Just Like That' took feedback from Carrie’s happy life in 2021. A reliable married couple with Mr. Big, an apartment on Fifth Avenue, financial stability, and a huge wardrobe: it seemed this most fashionable woman in Manhattan had everything she dreamed of.

“This is not a fairy tale. But the end of Carrie’s story speaks for itself. It is even more truthful,”

In the series, Carrie faces a number of realities she couldn't imagine. Becoming a widow, pursuing a podcast, and leaving her beloved apartment for a new nice but strangely empty house in Gramercy Park. She wasted a lot of time on failed attempts to rekindle her relationship with the country boy known as Aidan Shaw. Money was not a problem for Carrie, but the series often reminded us that even a vast amount of wealth could not protect against life's blows. In the series finale, Carrie finds herself in much the same state as at the very beginning: lonely, in heels, living in Manhattan, relying on her friends, but wondering if love remains in the Greatest City on Earth.

In Michael Patrick King's world, life after 40 is a constant queue of embarrassing situations. The improved aging serials are so imaginatively hopeless that death begins to seem a sweet escape. The continuing shames of aging are so imaginatively grim that the new season of 'And Just Like That' provoked discontent, criticism, and demands for 17 more seasons. People can't even imagine the horrors Carrie, Charlotte, and Miranda face week after week.

In the series 'And Just Like That', it was shown that the lives of the ideal heroines around their 50s can be far from fairy tale-like. The series’ faces concluded for the heroines from the fashion capital with unparalleled complexity and uncertainty about their future.
