BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Alistair Olson After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

TV_MovieSnob This show is by far better than SATC I would actually love for it to come back and just take on a whole new direction for this Carrie Bradshaw she is completely different from SATC's Carrie Bradshaw and I just wish they would've continued this series it is so excellent, the characters, the friendships, the story lines and the fashion made you really feel as if you were back in the 80s I'm not sure if they'll ever bring this back but if they do I have major ideas of this show!

phd_travel No matter how well intentioned "Carrie Diaries" is, things just do not gel with Sex and the City. I don't think SATC fans will like this series.Major miscasting: First of all Anna Sophia Robb's facial features are too different from Sarah Jessica Parker - her round eyes and heart shaped face make her completely unimaginable in the role of a young Carrie. There must have been a young actress more similar to SJP. Background inconsistencies: The story suffers in that the family background isn't right for the character of Carrie Bradshaw. I know SATC hardly showed any of Carrie's family but what they have now just isn't right. A sullen younger sister is so wrong - Carrie never mentioned a sister in the whole SATC. Should have been an only child. Her father also seems too upper middle class for Carrie's bohemian persona.Kudos to the production for creating an 80s Manhattan - can't be that easy. The friends are mildly interesting, the slut, the gay guy etc. bring to mind an earlier Samantha and Stanford. Her love interest Austin Butler isn't that cute. Overall it's a series that shouldn't have been made.

Ann Verna I like the fact that it takes place in the 80s! It shows you a different perspective then any other show and I love the characters. I hope they continue the show and they do not cancel it like many other shows that have been canceled lately. It is a very cute show and I also love Carrie's hair, it is perfect for the 80s! The clothes they wear are also perfect and they chose a great character for Sebastian. I have not watched SITC so I do not know if they completely changed Carrie's story or not. Even if they did, I still like the show and the innocence of the characters. It is a good show for teenage girls but really anyone can watch it.

oddity94 Let me start by saying that I was very much looking forward to this show. As a sort-of-fan of some of the CW shows, I was very curious how this would turn out to be. Unlike Gossip Girl and 90210, for example, I really wanted this to be a sincere show about a girl living outside the city. To quote one of the other reviewers, 'no drama just for the sake of drama'. I've had enough of all that, so I really wanted this to be a refreshing show. Obviously, I didn't expect it to be anything like SATC, but I was hoping it would give me the same kind of satisfied feeling. To be honest, that is exactly what it is. It's refreshing, it's honest and it's satisfying. I absolutely love it! Unlike others, I don't really care about the facts not being completely accurate, I just really like the look and feel of it. The way AnnaSophia shapes her role of Carrie is amazing; innocent, yet curious for what's out there. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the season!
