Sarah Jessica Parker Defends Hate Watching And Just Like That
Sarah Jessica Parker spoke to the New York Times about the reaction to the Sex and the City reboot And Just Like That. She says she does not spend much time thinking about haters, arguing that the work put into the show aimed to tell stories that felt real and engaging. The finale aired on Aug 14 and HBO Max later announced the series would end after Season 3. The reboot set a record as HBO Max's most watched debut, even as critics and fans offered mixed feedback. Some viewers continued hate watching the show to critique moments.
The legacy of Sex and the City goes back to 1998. The reboot brought back Parker and the core cast in a new era of streaming, with Carrie ending the finale as a single, independent woman. Parker says she is happy with the ending and that Carrie is set up pretty well. The ending has stirred strong opinions among longtime fans who wanted a different resolution. The conversation around the finale reflects a wider debate about updating classic characters for modern culture and how audiences react when beloved stories evolve.

Ending Carrie arc
Parker’s stance signals a broader industry pattern: stars defend a franchise by emphasizing audience connection over online noise. Hate watching becomes a signal of engagement that can coexist with strong viewership and social chatter rather than a simple verdict on quality. This moment shows how a screen icon’s legacy can shape expectations for a reboot without erasing a fan base’s passion.
For the streaming era, And Just Like That illustrates the economics of legacy IP. A high profile return can drive subscriptions and social discourse, but it also invites scrutiny about whether a reboot respects its origins while staying culturally relevant. The finale’s clean exit for Carrie reinforces a trend toward endings that foreground independence and selfhood, even as some fans crave the familiar dynamics of the original series.
