The ‘Sex and the City’ Author Isn’t a Fan of 'And Just Like That'
The Big Picture Candace Bushnell is Carrie Bradshaw, Carrie Bradshaw is Candace Bushnell. Her column in the New York Observer, titled Sex and the City, was the blueprint for the television series. The storylines are derived from her own life experiences, the characters within it are mosaics of people she met in her life, and Samantha is based on her best friend. The entire source material is deeply personal, which meant the show was deeply personal — or at least, for a period of time it was.
Candace Bushnell also took issue with the series, or rather, the character of Carrie, but her distaste came much earlier in the series. In the same interview with The New Yorker, Bushnell said: “I’ve said this, but when the character of Carrie sleeps with Mr. Big after he’s married to somebody else — that’s when I felt like the character’s becoming something other.
And Just Like That… Candace Bushnell Was Startled Given that the original series was derived from her words and her life, it’s only natural to wonder what Candace’s thoughts are on the show’s sequel/reboot series And Just Like That… She finally revealed her thoughts on the series when talking with The New Yorker, and what she had to say was less than complimentary, but not entirely shocking. “I was very startled by a lot of the choices in the reboot.” She said.
