The sequel series And Just Like That was “all joy, adventure, the greatest kind of hard work alongside the most extraordinary talent of 380,” Sarah said in a recent Instagram post.

She wrote a lengthy tribute to Carrie Bradshaw as she laid the character down to rest.
“Carrie Bradshaw has dominated my professional heartbeat for 27 years. I think I have loved her most of all,” she wrote. “I know others have loved her just as I have. Been frustrated, condemned and rooted for her.”

Some viewers were extremely salty about And Just Like That and particularly had issues with the finale episode, which featured an overflowing toilet.
“Why am I saying farewell to some of my favorite TV characters of all time and seeing a toilet overflow on my screen?” one fan wrote on X about the gag-inducing scene.
Another said, “It’s a choice to make the series finale have 3 scenes involving sh** and piss… the writers def hate us.”

Showrunner Michael Patrick King defended the scene and said, “We cannot take ourselves too seriously.”
“For the gorgeousness of Carrie’s pink, sparkly top and tulle skirt — that’s the high—the low is a toilet filled up with sh**. Because guess what?” he told Variety this month.
“Being single, there’s a lot of sh**, and relationships are a lot of sh**. It’s the comedy, with the drama, with the romance, with the fairy tale. I guess it’s a response to the fairy tale,” he added.
Critics called And Just Like That the “worst show ever” while fans staunchly defended it

Bethenny Frankel, former Real Housewives of New York City star, called And Just Like That the “worst show ever.”
“Honestly, this is from hero to zero. It’s just so forced. Every second, someone is wearing the most ridiculously outlandish [outfit],” she said.
Some agreed with her, saying: “They ruined it … they really really destroyed something iconic.”
“I agree,” said another. “The show is sadly, awful! I wanted to like it so badly but I couldn’t suffer through it.”
But fans defended the show and disagreed with Bethenny’s sentiments.
“This show allowed us to fan out a little while longer. It was a nice way to mentally escape for 45 min every week to see something light, funny and fashionable,” one said. “Sad to see it end.”
“You have ruined the legacy of the original series,” one commented online, while a fan said, “haters gonna hate”
