In case you missed it, Sex And The City has returned after 17 loooong years. (Well, technically 11 years if you count the movies. Which we don’t).

And all the Gen-Xers and Geriatric Millennials rejoiced…for about a hot minute. Okay, maybe like the first 42.2 minutes. 

The new chapter is currently streaming on HBO Max and features the characters we know and love (minus Samantha *insert sad emoji here*) as they navigate life now in their 50s.

Here’s a quick recap:

Carrie and Big (aka John Preston) are living their happily ever after. And all the fans said, “Awwww.” Carrie dumped Samantha as her publicist, Samantha hightailed it to London, and Carrie is now co-hosting a podcast with “queer nonbinary Mexican-Irish diva” Che.

Big still has a nasty habit of smoking cigars and has become one of those hardcore Peloton devotees. Dammit, Allegra! (more on that later).

Miranda is back in university working on a Master’s degree in Human Rights. She also drinks. A lot.

Probably because she and husband Steve let their 17-year-old son have “sleepovers” with his girlfriend (which is code for noisy sex) and she’s regretting all of her life choices.

Charlotte and Harry have two teenage daughters, Lily and Rose. Charlotte is obsessed with florals. She also has an adorable bulldog named Richard Burton (RIP Elizabeth Taylor).

Oh, and the clothes and shoes are still fabulous.

‘And Just Like That’ debuted as the number one most-viewed series premiere of any new HBO or HBO Max series and I think it’s safe to say, it’s not exactly what fans were expecting. 

Diehard SATC fans have BIG feelings about the reboot. Really BIG. And they took to Twitter to share their hilarious and heartbreaking reactions. 

(For those of you who haven’t watched it or have somehow managed to avoid the BIG bombshell up until now, stop reading. ***Major Spoilers Ahead***)

First, where oh where is Samantha? London, apparently.

At least SHE’S not dead. (cue ominous foreshadowing music).

And what’s up with Lily?? Why Lily, whyyyyy?

Look, we all know who’s fault it really is. And it’s not Lily’s. I’m looking at you Peloton. 

So is the rest of the world.

Which brings us to the BIG elephant in the room so we might as well just talk about it. But first, shoes.

Not to mention, we waited 17 YEARS for this??

I’m afraid so.

And it was this moment that had us all collectively screaming at our television sets:

“Pick up the phone Carrie! Dammit Carrie, call 9-1-1. 

OMG why isn’t she calling? Pick up the phone! It’s literally right beside you. PICK IT UP.”

That’s what we ALL WANT TO KNOW.

And just like that…Big died.

None of us were ready David.

There was denial…

…sadness and pain…

…and anger.

But mostly blame.

And just like that…SoulCycle had something to say:

Not surprisingly, so did Peloton.

And just like that…Peloton responded to “that scene” with a hilarious new ad.

Well played, Peloton. Well played.

And while Big’s death is tragic, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention the real-life passing of Wille Garson during the filming of the show. Stanford, we were lucky to have you.

As for what happens next? We’ll just have to wait and see. ‘And Just Like That’ continues with new episodes every Thursday on HBO Max.
