Women all over the country, including many of my friends, are mourning the end of “Sex and the City.” I never watched the show during its first five seasons, but decided to see what all the hype was about this year. I found that beyond all the shock value, it was a genuinely well acted and well written program. Each of the four main characters demonstrated considerable growth in their characters and last night we saw just how mature they have become. Charlotte’s determination to have a child despite her inability to conceive was rewarded with the news that she would be adopting a baby from China. She was so assured that the adoption process would work out that she was not upset to learn that a previous donor had backed out. Miranda’s initial reluctance to settle down and embrace love diminished as she not only embraced living with Steve in Brooklyn but even volunteered to take in his ailing mother. Samantha’s battle with cancer led her to recognize the good thing she had in front of her and, for the first time, embrace a monogamous relationship. And Carrie realized that her Parisian fantasy with Petrovsky was not quite the fantasy she had envisioned and returned to her true love – New York City. Plus, with Mr. Big (or should I say John) moving to NYC to live with her, it leaves the storylines open-ended enough to sustain an upcoming movie. So don’t worry, my “Sex” obsessed friends, the movie should indeed happen...one of these days.
