πŸ’‹ “And Just Like That… the Show is Over — YouTube Was Right!”



πŸ’‹ “And Just Like That… the Show is Over — YouTube Was Right!”

Welp, the girls on YouTube been told y’all. All season long, the commentary queens and keyboard critics were dragging this show like it was wearing Payless in Paris. And now? Their prophecies have been fulfilled. And Just Like That… is coming to a glamorous but shaky end with Season 3.

Let’s unpack this tea—because the wigs are already flying.


🚨 The Prediction That Came True

Remember when the show premiered and everyone was like “Omg the fashion! The nostalgia!” Yeah… that didn’t last long. Season 1 got hate-watched, Season 2 was a mess in heels, and by Season 3, even Carrie looked tired of being Carrie. πŸ’…

YouTube bloggers—especially the messy ones who live for a thumbnail with Sarah Jessica Parker in grayscale—have been saying the writing was giving therapy session with a side of oat milk, not iconic TV.

And now? Showrunner Michael Patrick King confirmed on August 1, 2025, that the girls are done. Finito. Over. Season 3 is the final chapter.


🎭 The Final Season Recap — Or, The Goodbye Nobody Asked For

  • Season 3 hit Max on May 29, 2025. And baby, it showed up with 12 episodes instead of 10 like it was doing us a favor.
  • Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte are still doing their thing (sort of), while Aidan came back because… why not?
  • Rosie O’Donnell popped in as “Mary” and we still don’t know what her storyline was giving besides confusion.
  • Meanwhile, Kim Cattrall said “Y’all got your one scene in Season 2. Don’t call me again.”
  • And Sara RamΓ­rez? Karen Pittman? Gone before Season 3 even started. Sis, the way they got ghosted is legendary.

😒 The “Creative” Breakup

The show claims it’s not ending because of ratings or viewer fatigue (though a 62% drop says otherwise). They’re calling it a mutual creative decision between Michael Patrick King, SJP, and the HBO folks.

Translation? “We tried. It flopped. Let’s call it art and move on.” πŸ’€

Even Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon hopped on Instagram with emotional captions like they were eulogizing their favorite brunch spot.


πŸ… Rotten Tomatoes and Viewer Realness

  • Season 3 somehow climbed back to 68% on Rotten Tomatoes. Bless them for that.
  • Metacritic? A sweet and sour 66/100. Sounds about right.
  • But honey, let’s be honest: The writing felt like ChatGPT got drunk and started journaling.

YouTube girls weren’t just reviewing episodes—they were holding interventions. Every thumbnail was like: “Carrie, this ain’t you!” or “The writers owe us an apology.”


πŸ“… So When’s the Funeral—I Mean Finale?

πŸ“… Date πŸ“Ί What Happened
May 29, 2025 Season 3 premiered on Max
Weekly Episodes aired like they were running late
August 1, 2025 Showrunner announced it’s a wrap
August 14, 2025 Two-part finale airs—bring wine and tissues (or just wine)

πŸ’” Closing the Closet Door

So, what’s the legacy? And Just Like That… gave us moments. Some were iconic, others were like when you order Gucci online and it shows up “Gussi.”

It had heart, it had chaos, it had a lot of therapy talk and beige tones. But most of all, it had YouTube critics sharpening their claws every Thursday like it was a sport.

And to be fair? They were right.

So let’s raise a glass—spiked with shade—for Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte. May their brunches live on in reruns and their group chats stay mess-free.


πŸ’¬ What do you think? Was Season 3 really the “wonderful place to stop” they claim? Or did the fans—and the YouTubers—pull the plug with their weekly drags? Let me know in the comments.

And Just Like That… I’m Confused: Why Season 3 Feels Like a Messy Group Chat with No Admin

And Just Like That… I’m Confused: Why Season 3 Feels Like a Messy Group Chat with No Admin

If you’ve made it to Season 3 of And Just Like That… you deserve a badge of emotional endurance. Because let’s be honest — this season feels like a glamorized fever dream with no GPS. Somewhere between Carrie’s random narration and characters getting killed or coming back (often without context), the show lost its sparkle — and its storyline.


Where Is This Show Going? Because I’m Lost.

Season 3 feels like the writers dumped all the Post-its on the floor and just went with whatever they could grab. The tone? Inconsistent. The characters? Confused. The plot? Missing in action. Every time you think you're settling into a story arc, someone dies, vanishes, or shows up out of nowhere. And we're supposed to just roll with it?


The Cast Is There… But Are They Really?

Let’s talk about the cast. We love them — or we used to — but what are they even doing this season? Charlotte’s bouncing between wine mom moments and random side quests. Miranda is in a constant existential tailspin, and Carrie? She’s floating around like a fabulously dressed ghost of HBO past. They don’t feel connected — to each other or to the story.

And don’t even get me started on the newer cast members. Are they developed? Not really. Are they here for representation points? Possibly. Do they deserve better writing? Absolutely.


Stop Resurrecting and Erasing Characters Like It’s a Telenovela

One minute a character’s dead, the next they’re at brunch — no explanation, no buildup, just chaos. I’m all for surprises, but this ain’t Game of Thrones. Death (and undeath) should mean something. Instead, the emotional stakes have been swapped for confusion and forced drama. It’s like watching a group text where people keep leaving and rejoining without anyone explaining why.


Did We Even Need Season 3?

The real question is: Why are we still watching this show? Season 1 was bumpy, but it had potential. Season 2 tried to clean it up. Season 3? It's like they gave up and started filming vibes instead of episodes. Maybe the show should’ve stayed a nostalgic one-season revival, wrapped in a bow, and left us with our fond SATC memories intact.


Final Thoughts: Call It a Question, Not a Season

At this point, And Just Like That… isn’t a continuation. It’s a question mark. A beautifully dressed, slightly cringey, emotionally confusing question mark. It doesn’t know what it wants to be — and that’s the real issue.

So to HBO and the powers that be: unless you’re bringing back Samantha permanently, giving us consistent writing, and letting these characters grow instead of spiral… maybe it’s time to say goodbye. Again.

Because just like that... I’m out.


Want a tweet version?

And Just Like That... Season 3 is a group chat with no moderator. Characters dying, reappearing, floating through scenes with no purpose. I stayed for nostalgia, but I’m leaving with confusion. Time to call it a question mark, not a season. #AJLT #HBOConfusion

πŸ’” Carrie, Chile... We Been Knew! | 'And Just Like That' Season 3, Episode 9 Recap

πŸ’” Carrie, Chile... We Been Knew! | 'And Just Like That' Season 3, Episode 9 Recap
Dramatic. Funny. Gossip-filled. Shady. Entertaining. And yes—messy as ever.


🎬 Episode 9: "Present Tense"
Whew, baby! Carrie Bradshaw just broke up with Aidan... again. For the 67th time (okay, we exaggerate—but it feels like that). And you know what? This time, we’re not mad. We’re relieved. Sis finally shook the dust off her Manolos and chose herself. Let’s get into the drama, the tea, and the Taylor Swift soundtrack that had us screaming “YES, EMOTION!”


πŸ’” Carrie + Aidan = 🚩🚩🚩

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Aidan still isn’t over Big. Yeah, the man is dead, but Aidan’s resentment is alive and thriving. One little moment between Carrie and Duncan—the charming neighbor-writer who actually understands her—and suddenly Aidan’s spiraling like it’s Y2K all over again. πŸ™„

The breakup scene? Set at Tartine (because of course it is), it gave passive-aggressive salad tossing with a side of emotional constipation. Taylor Swift’s “How Did It End?” played in the background like the soundtrack to every woman realizing her ex will never change. Iconic.

Carrie’s final move? Putting on a fabulous outfit, slapping on some red lipstick, and leaving that man behind. Growth, darling. Growth. πŸ₯‚


πŸ‘  Andy Cohen? In This Economy??

Let’s talk cameos! Andy Cohen stepped back into his 2004 kitten heels as Daniel, the shoe salesman. It was quick, nostalgic, and honestly? A little fabulous. Sometimes a girl doesn’t need a man—she just needs a good pair of shoes and a Real Housewife in retail.✨


πŸ—½ Scene Stealers & Subplot Shenanigans:

NYC was giving as always—with West Village spots like Tartine and San Sabino playing supporting roles better than half the cast. Here’s what else had us gasping and giggling:

  • Seema’s Man Trouble: Ravi’s “I’m in another country again” energy? Girl, let him go. But shoutout to her deodorant drama at CafΓ© Boulud. Body odor > boy drama. Period.
  • Charlotte & Harry: Still arguing over parenting. Still rich. Still tired.
  • Lisa: Ma’am… stop telling your husband he needs Ozempic on national television!
  • Miranda: That LGBT conflict with Joy? Girl, communicate—or don’t and keep the drama coming.
  • Anthony & Giuseppe: Cultural clash meets sexual tension. Messy and delicious.

🧠 Writers Said: “No Villains, Just Baggage”

According to the behind-the-scenes crew, this breakup wasn’t about making Aidan the bad guy. It was about timing, trauma, and the fact that some people belong in your past, not your future. Mismatched expectations, emotional weight, and a whole lotta therapy undone by one wistful look across the table.

And honestly? We respect it. Carrie tried. But she’s not trying anymore. #GirlBye πŸ‘‹


πŸ’… Carrie 2.0: No Man, No Problem

With Aidan yeeted out of her life (again), Carrie’s focusing on what really matters: her writing, her cocktails, her girls, and maybe… Duncan? πŸ‘€

The glow-up is real. This isn't heartbreak—this is liberation. And Twitter agrees: “Carrie without a man is the Carrie we stan.” #Facts


⏭️ What’s Next?

Episode 10 drops Thursday, July 31, and rumor has it Carrie’s got a fresh story idea and maybe a fresh man. Seema’s about to pull a power move, and someone’s going to cry at brunch. (Our money’s on Charlotte.)


✍️ Final Thoughts:

Element The Tea
Carrie & Aidan Relationship status: Canceled. Forever.
Andy Cohen Cameo Legendary. Unexpected. Needed more screen time tbh.
Taylor Swift Song Hit us in the feels. She knew what she was doing.
Supporting Cast Still messy. Still fighting. Still serving background drama.
NYC Vibes Perfect. Carrie might be single, but she’s never alone.
What's Next? Independence, fiction writing, and hopefully some Duncan.

So tell me…
Did Carrie finally learn her lesson? Or will she be kissing that man again in Season 4?
Leave your shady thoughts in the comments!
