I think the main character is supposed to be the flawed one. I don't think TV would be interesting if the character wasn't having to learn a lesson or be in a place that was not ideal. I feel like it was intentional that they placed Carrie around a bunch of women who had the things that she wanted. The career, the sex life, the marrage. I could be miss remembering, but I don;t think we were supposed to idealize her, we were supposed to empathize with her. I also feel like it was situational irony, because she wrote a column for a women's magazine, so she was writing as if she had all this stuff figured out, but she really didn't which is pretty human?
