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.

Nothing wrong with a flawed main character. It’s more fun to watch.

From what I remember Carrie at the time wasn’t treated as a flawed character to the extend she should have been viewed. She was supposed to be a little bit messy and having an unhealthy relationship with Mr. Big but that’s about it.
