The author of "Sex and the City", Candace Bushnell opens up on what she really feels about her TV show.
She recently got interviewed by the New York Post and that's where Candace gave her side of how HBO's adaptation of her book made an impression on her.
She said that she doesn't see the TV show as to how others would see it. She thinks it's a great show and has really funny bits, however, there are fans out there that make it something that guides them.
Things like finding their own version of Mr. Big, which should not be the main goal. And the reality of it all is that finding that person is not a good long term in terms of economics. Candace also said that men are dangerous to women in a lot of ways and that women never talk about it and need to think about it more.
She continues by saying that women can do a lot less if they solely have to rely on a man. The TV show's message that is being portrayed to millions of fans, in the end, was not at all "very feminist."
But since that's how TV and entertainment works, people should not try to mimic their lives based on a TV show.
Candace first launched the column Sex and the City for the New York Observer back in '94. It ran for two years and the star character was named Carrie, on who she based her own life experiences. The column became so popular that it turned out to be a book deal that was released in '96 and sold to HBO during the same year.
The show was so successful that it got two movie tie-ins years later after the series was done in 2004. The stars for the show were Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall, and Kristin Davis.
New news regarding the original cast would be that they would star in its reboot And Just Like That with everyone except Kim Cattrall.
The show reboot is set to have ten episodes and would follow the trio as they journey and experience complicated realities of life and friendship.
The trio are not the only ones coming back to the show but other cast members as well such as the characters who played Mr. Big, Steve Brady, Harry Goldenblatt, and more.
Candace told the New York Post that she'll be watching the new show and she hopes it success to run for six seasons. Also that she would be paid a "little bit of money."
And Just Like That premieres on HBO this December.
