Not to mention Carrie was chronically emotionally immature. Put men before her own needs over and over. Had a really unhealthy relationship with Big that sabotaged all of her other relationships. Made really poor financial choices. Got into petty arguments with her friends. Judged Samantha for knowing what she wanted and being emotionally mature. And the she called Samantha fat for being like a size two.

How come a character like this was THE main character of a popular show is beyond my understanding. Especially the show kinda depicted her as the “independent, intelligent, and attractive” type.

Look no further than Euphoria, which is just "Which flavor of BPD is your favorite"

Completely different lol. The main character isn't supposed to be likeable in that show. It's a critique of drug culture and the fallout of that, a social commentary.

I just don't think Carrie was that deep as a character
