Exhausted by the ‘wokeness’ of new-age shows And Just Like That... and Made in Heaven - The Hindu
The HinduLet me say this right at the beginning, I am all for the current culture of social awareness. The first, And Just Like That., is the sequel to the iconic noughties-favourite show, Sex and the City, the story of four women in New York navigating through their sexual, fraternal, professional and emotional lives, while always wearing five-inch heels. But, now in their new avatar, the girls from Sex and the City look like they have gone through a serious, mandatory re-education programme, so that every nuance of ‘wokeness’ can be satisfactorily hit. I mean, I can appreciate the beauty of a rainbow, but like an overeager HR department in Pride Month, you don’t have to decorate every little corner with it. ‘Made in Heaven’: flawed execution Closer home, things are even more eye-wateringly painful.
