I've been rewatching Sex and the City, and I've arrived at an age that makes the whole experience unexpectedly amusing. I'm 32 now. Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte were around my age when the series began. Samantha was a little ahead of them, in years and in just about everything else. I used to watch these women as though they had reached some distant stage of adulthood where you owned good shoes, knew exactly who you were and had developed a reasonable understanding of men. Watching them now, I realise they had the shoes. The rest was very much a work in progress.
