action
The protagonists are four New York women, whose amorous and sexual experiences and friendship as well as their arguments, discussions and thoughts on almost all questions of human relationships are presented.
season 1
As a sex columnist for a weekly New York newspaper, Carrie Bradshaw explores the cynicism of the New York dating scene . She and her three friends Miranda Hobbes, Charlotte York, and Samantha Jones are in their thirties and single, with all four women having different views on the matter. While Carrie is looking for her great love in a relaxed manner, the good gallery owner Charlotte York is eager to get married; the cynical lawyer Miranda Hobbes sees men as a minor matter and the self-confident PR woman Samantha Jones prefers sex to relationships. And so the countless dates, affairs and relationships are just as much a part of the everyday life of the four as the morning discussions about them in the café.
In the first episode, Carrie meets successful businessman John James Preston, known as "Mr. Big ". The paths of the two cross each other by chance until they finally go out. Carrie is in love, but doubts Big feels the same way. Although the two get together again and again and Carrie's fears often turn out to be unfounded, she has problems with Big's detached and self-confident manner. It comes to a scandal when Carrie arranged a "chance" encounter with his mother, when Big was his mother's friend Carrie doesn’t even introduce her by name and she shows no sign of recognition when Carrie mentions her name herself. Carrie asks him to at least make her a real love confession and tell her that she is "the one". When he can't, she separates from him temporarily.
To her surprise, Samantha fell in love with James. When the two want to sleep together, Samantha makes a terrible discovery for her: James has a tiny penis. It is a catastrophe for them; nevertheless, she initially refuses to break up with him.
Miranda lets Carrie persuade her to go on a “blind date” with her young friend Skipper, who is “way too nice” for the sarcastic Miranda. Nevertheless, the two begin an affair; However, Miranda underestimates her own attraction because Skipper falls in love with her.
season 2
Carrie offers her friendship to Mr. Big, although she secretly realizes how much she is still attached to him. When he asks her for a friendly dinner, the two get closer again.

But Carrie is convinced that their relationship has changed, and at first it seems that way. But one day Big casually mentions that he might be moving to Paris for a few months - without Carrie. For her, this is clear evidence that he does not love her the way she loves him, and she breaks up with him. Carrie then see a psychiatrist. There she meets another patient with whom she has sex. However, he has the problem that he loses interest in a woman after the first sexual intercourse.
Frustrated Samantha is still wondering whether to end her relationship with James, but she can't bring herself to do it. But the relationship is increasingly suffering.

In the series she gets involved in countless short-term relationships, in which, however, she regularly hears the wedding bells ring. Of all four women, the conservative Charlotte seems the most insecure about being in her thirties and single.

Often the sexually explicit conversations in coffee shops and restaurants are embarrassing for them. When Charlotte finally meets her dream man and enters into a marriage with him, the rude awakening comes for her. After her divorce, she falls in love with a completely unsuitable man and overcomes her superficiality. In addition, her desire to have children does not seem to be fulfilled.

Minor characters
- John James Preston "Mr. Big "
- a successful New York businessman whom Carrie falls in love with at the beginning of the series. Mr. Big is mainly portrayed as an incapacitated macho who has already had a failed marriage at the show's season and is getting married a second time between his relationships with Carrie, although he has assured her that he will never marry again. His favorite word "absofuckinglutely" (a mix of "fucking" and "absolutely", translated in German into: "Damn shit, but yes"), his cigars and the fact that he is always in his limousine with a chauffeur are hallmarks of his distance waiting for Carrie, whom he never seems to get out of unnecessarily. It is only towards the end of the series that Big finally realizes that he has found the woman of his life in Carrie and has let her go again and again. He sheds his pride to finally fight for her.
- Steve Brady
- a bartender, the man in Miranda's life and father of her son Brady. The loyal, loving and sometimes childish Steve represents a strong contrast to the self-determined, cynical Miranda, which repeatedly tests the relationship between the two and causes it to fail several times. The two only gradually approach each other. In season 4, Steve opens his own bar with Aidan and names it "Scout" after his dog.
- Stanford Blatch
- Carrie's gay boyfriend, often jokingly referred to as her husband. He is a lovable but not particularly attractive man who is very aware of his disadvantages in the body-hugging gay scene.

Stanford is particularly characterized by its brightly colored shirts and suits.
- Dr. Trey MacDougal
- Charlotte's first husband, rich, successful and from a good family. When he leads Charlotte to the altar after a few weeks, she believes that she has achieved her goal of a dream marriage with the perfect man.

In addition, Trey turns out to be mother's boy who is under the thumb of the strict "Bunny". Despite all weaknesses, Trey always remains polite and friendly and in the end even supports Charlotte in divorce proceedings against his mother.
- Aidan Shaw
- Carrie's long-term friend and intermittent fiancé. Despite being very loving, caring, and romantic, Carrie cheats on him with Big during season three, which Aidan cannot handle. He separates from her, although this decision is difficult for him. He later becomes a partner in Steve's bar and meets Carrie there. The two start a relationship again, with Aidan Carrie's misstep clearly adding to it. Only now are subliminal aggression recognizable in him, which ultimately leads to a fight when he meets Big.

Aidan is now married and a father.

Despite Samantha's dislike of relationships, she finds her affection for Smith hard to fight off, and he stubbornly remains by her side. Little by little, real love grows between the two, which Smith proves once again when Samantha falls ill with cancer and temporarily loses her need for sex.
- Richard Wright
- a hotel mogul and a very successful businessman who turns Samantha's head against her will. Although he definitely has a sense of romance, in the end he remains aloof and even lets a buyer take care of his noble gifts. Despite initial doubts about his playboy image, Sam embarks on a love affair that, as expected, he finally betrays. Confident, too arrogant at the border, he tries to recapture it, but only succeeds temporarily. In a later episode they meet again, and he looks sad when he talks about his bad business during a quickie.
- Anthony Marentino
- a “funky” gay Sicilian who, on Samantha's advice, is hired by Charlotte as a wedding planner. While he quickly becomes friends with this, an attempt at coupling with Stanford ends in deep mutual dislike. Later on, a kind of competition develops in which they try at every opportunity to hurt or outdo each other. This even leads to a relationship crisis between Stanford and Markus when Anthony reveals that he once worked as a call boy.
- Aleksandr Petrovsky
- an artist Carrie met at an exhibition. Although he immediately makes it clear that he had started a family with his ex-wife many years ago and has no longer any ambitions in this regard, Carrie lets himself into a relationship with the Russian.

A little later Robert leaves for Steve, whereupon he reacts with some unsightly scenes.

background
construction
A total of six seasons of different lengths were broadcast, with the fifth season with eight episodes being the shortest and the sixth season with 20 episodes the longest. The individual episodes are approximately between 25 and 35 minutes long and each show the current experiences of the four main actresses, which are interwoven through their exchange about them and the column. Every now and then, for example, Stanford's private life finds space.
It is noticeable that the first season seems even more based on the book. Here the column and Carrie's research are still the focus of the series, Carrie talks directly to the camera ( speaking aside ) and intercuts show various interviewees who comment on the respective topic. After just a few episodes, this concept gradually dissolves, and the story focuses on the four friends and their search for love. However, the column always remains the framework story and enables Carrie to ask herself and her readers or viewers various fundamental questions about current events while writing the column.
Media impact
Sex and the City received a lot of media coverage, both from the press and from television. The success of the series, which today is about the sexuality and relationships of urban women aged 30 and over, reveals clichés and role ascriptions of gender relations and deals with them in a playful, reflective way, but always in a way that is suitable for the audience and capable of reaching a consensus.
After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 , recordings of the World Trade Center were removed from the opening credits of the series and replaced by recordings of the Manhattan skyline and the Empire State Building from the middle of the fourth season .

criticism
"The women in Sex and the City know that men cannot solve their problems (or rather create them ...)."
" Ally McBeal for Adults"
“The secret of the great success lies on the one hand in the successful mixture of horror and humor, fun and horror, suffering and passion. On the other hand, in the exquisite cast and roles - every viewer wants to identify with one of the four women. "
"Just three years after it was broadcast in the USA, Sex and the City (...) conveys the new, fun, narrow-minded image of the modern, self-confident career woman who stands in the middle of life on well-formed, pump-shoeed legs."
"If Ally and Sex and the City were cars, then the former would probably be a duck - a little lame and uncomfortable, but immensely lovable, the ProSieben competition from Porsche - fast, sleek and sexy."
