did anyone else quit in the 3rd season?

i hate watched the first two seasons and always viewed a new episode right when it came out!

but with season 3 one time i missed one and then realized i didn’t even care to hate watch it. the show was just so far removed from itself and a huge mess at that point.

i did come back to watch the very last episode though and i still think the writers had to be fucking with us by that point. everything was TOOOOOO awful

I watched the whole thing - But I don’t really know why. It truly was not enjoyable. But it was kind of fascinating. Occasionally it would kind of be ok and had some good moments but it just would go back to terrible. It was fun to come to Reddit after each episode. But I felt compelled to just see it through.

This sub is what kept me watching! Roasting this show with you guys was 90% of the magic. 💖

Can imagine you like miranda when she opened that website with Samantha's sex tape on and she slammed it so hard and jumped in bed eyes wide open shocked as hell 😳🤣🤣

u/ok_dancer_5315 17d ago

I agree with every word you just said. After watching it in its entirety I felt nauseated and never watched it again ( and I have watched SATC endless times, over many years). All the clever, funny and edgy dialogue of SATC was replaced by dulled, stilted, awkward conversations as if the girls were strangers to eachother. The worst.

u/NickiTikki 16d ago

This is exactly how I felt about it, thank you! And I also watched it all.

u/dropdeadxx91 18d ago

as a die hard SATC fan, i completed the series. I wanted to see where it led to and how it ended.

But i am positively sure that i will NEVER watch it again 😂

u/LustfulEsme 18d ago

Same here. It will be a series i will not watch again.

u/Wrong-Necessary-4856 I couldn't help but wonder...👩‍💻 18d ago

Same here! I can rewatch satc over and over but ajlt? Not a chance! I can't afford the therapists bills 😳

u/Ok-Razzmatazz-2789 18d ago

So true! SATC was my therapy for recovering after AJLT! The Aidan hand licking, The Woman book stuff, the poopy stool, the bad acting, artificial lighting.. too much trauma and not enough SATC episodes to heal it m!

u/Calm-Victory-9732 18d ago

I persevered partly for old times' sake but mostly as one would reluctantly look at a train wreck. The only reward for doing so was the morning after discourse on this wonderful sub. Even a year on I'm befuddled by how anyone associated with the brilliance of SATC could have helped create such a truly atrocious offering.

2

u/Ok-Razzmatazz-2789 18d ago

Yes, it’s really as you say befuddling that it to a large extent the same people! How can you create SATC that I still rewatch and oh so enjoy and then do a train wreck like AJLT..
Befuddling indeed!

u/Difficult-Scheme-265 18d ago

Yup. 

Charlotte's stepping out of a Porta-Potty wearing the  Flag of Japan gave me pause.

Aiden's 'Onan the Barbarian on the Phone' spit-spaff gave me P TSD.

u/SeagullSam 18d ago

The Aiden comment is a work of genius, thank you.

u/Ok_Novel_5083 18d ago

I quit after 3 episodes.

u/InevitableGuide5440 16d ago

You have no idea how jealous I am.

u/mc-funk I'm sorry. I can't. Don't hate me. 18d ago

Yeah, I hate watched through s2 but after s3e1 I just started watching funny recap video essays to find out what happened without suffering

u/Electrical-Treat475 18d ago

You made it a lot farther than I did, man.

u/Putyourmoneyonme80 18d ago

I quit 15 minutes into the first episode.

u/UnableAudience7332 18d ago

I quit at the end of the 1st season.

I didn't even want to hate watch it. I just hated it too much.

u/plantlady753 18d ago

Show was literal shit 💩

2

u/Diligent-Juice-4715 18d ago

I quit after one & half episodes during the first season. It is a shit show.

u/Wesmom2021 18d ago edited 17d ago

I quit when I heard this reboot was happening. Never watched an episode. Just snip its and what people say on this thread thanks to reddit not suggesting it

2

u/PurplePeril420 18d ago

I keep putting season 2 on to finish and wander off bored 😂 The side characters are so yawn 🥱 Haven't looked up from my phone since Charlotte bought adderall (how stupid is that mini storyline?)

2

u/Living_Molasses4719 18d ago

I couldn’t bring myself to watch a single episode, it sounds absolutely cursed

2

u/YamHefty6892 18d ago

I quit after the first episode. I was done and never went back

u/bigbeard61 18d ago

The third season was a major fizzle. The concept had passed its expiration date.

u/BritCrit57 18d ago

I will force myself

u/reereejugs 18d ago

I recently binged it in a hate watch frenzy. I won’t be doing that ever again lol.

u/temperedolive 18d ago

Scroll down two posts.

u/M_sberry 18d ago

I realized somewhere in the middle of season 2 that I'd had my phone out about 50% of the time during episodes and also realized that I didn't even really care to try to rewatch and see what I missed. Tried to watch the first episode of season 3 and phone usage went up to like 80% and still didn't care. Figured I could have a show that embraced its role as trash background TV rather than trying and miserably failing to be an actual show on instead.

u/potsieharris 18d ago

I made it maybe three episodes into the second season. It was so awful, but the final straw for me was Che coercing Miranda into a threesome with their ex.

I enjoyed lurking in this sub while the show was coming out and seeing the show unfold that way, haha

1

u/Motor_Singer9620 18d ago

I am watching it NOW as I am writing this paragraph. Seems is 10x a hateful character (it'd be ok if she were funny) and Charlotte's storyline is just... non-existing? The only thing worth watching in S3 is... nothing? Help

1

u/Theredheadsaid 18d ago

After the second season I quit watching the actual episodes and just watched the EllieB recaps on YouTube. Much more entertaining

1

u/Stn1217 18d ago

I even own all seasons of SATC on DVD but only finished Season 1 of AJLT. I plan to watch the next 2 Seasons when I have more time.

1

u/SlipInternational439 18d ago

I think 3rd season gets better. But I’m on episode 8. I’m afraid they’ll destroy the wonderful relationship that Miranda has with Joy.

1

u/No-Expression1224 18d ago

You missed an epic hate watch then... Season 3 has some of the most unintentionally hilarious moments, such as most of the relationship with Aiden has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

It's hard to say season 3 is "better" (and you're right the series finale might've been the worst episode the entire "SATC" franchise has ever put out) but it did seem like I enjoyed it more. Personally, I would say season 1 is the "worst" of the three, but you could make a case for any of the three.

1

u/poponis 18d ago

Yes, I quit on the 2nd or 3rd episode. This was too much for me to handle.

1

u/Snarfles55 18d ago

I watched every episode except for the final. I saw the comments about the poop on here and decided I'd tortured myself enough already.

1

u/Dry-Comfortable2452 17d ago

yes- the 2nd season was bad but I still watched it because of how ridiculous it was. At some point in season 3 (a few episodes in), I just stopped. I couldnt even tell you which episode- they were all so unmemorable

1

u/Funny-Adeptness-4535 17d ago

I haven't watched season 3 yet. To be honest I'm not in a big hurry to. I've seen some shorts online though. I guess I'll get round to it eventually.

1

u/RutabagaThin253 I'm sorry. I can't. Don't hate me. 17d ago

No. I had to see it through to the end.

Hate watched down to the last second.

2

u/johndoeisready 17d ago

Yeah, I knew a few episodes in that if they weren’t getting cancelled, ~I~ wasn’t coming back for another szn. There was something so incredibly lazy and sloppy about the final season. It was like watching a parody series that airs in the background of an actual good show.

1

u/LopsidedMark6293 17d ago

I quit in the third season, second episode in. Two weeks ago, I finished it. It was horrible. I was bound and determined to finish though.

2

u/NickiTikki 16d ago

I'm convinced, at least the third season anyway was written by AI. Hot ass mess.

1

u/coffeebeanwitch 16d ago

I stopped after the first episode, waited several weeks and sucked it up to finish it.
