Sex and the City - Season Six, Part 1

Rating:
Summary: Reaching the end.
Review: I agree with people complaining about this season because it was released in two parts but I also think that has nothing to do with the quality of the series.
The sixth season was the longest and the best, actually I've seen all the seasons and found them better one after the other. This first part with 12 episodes contains the comedy of season 3 and the maturity of season 4. It also shows how the caracters are finding their ways in life. Carrie starts dating a writer. The relationship seems serious in the beginning but then it has a twist and then on the last episode Carrie meets someone very special.
Charlotte falls in love with her divorce lawyer and becomes jewish while she tries to get married with him. Miranda's nights become strange when she spends every night watching a series where a white woman falls in love with a black guy who lives in her same building and that actually becomes a reality in her own life, but again there's a big twist on the last episode of this part of the season. Finally Samantha gets where she or any viewer would have ever thought. She dates and has sex with just one guy during the 12 episodes. This guy was a waiter in one restaurant and Samantha wanted to have on-night-stand with him which she has but then she meets with him again in a party and then she finds him special and she helps him very much when she makes him become a star. (That doesn't mean that there are not funny scenes, yes there are several funny scenes).
If you have seen the seasons before this one, this one is a must have to continue with the story. And if you have seen some episodes, I'd strongly recommend you to watch Sex and the city from the very first episode on season one.

Summary: Before you buy read this...
Review: HBO Video plans to release a "super-premium" Sex and the City collection before Christmas. Although all seasons for the show are now available, according to an HBO spokesperson the premium set will feature the complete series along with additional content and DVD extras not available on the originals. Also look for new disc art and lavish packaging that is being developed with "an eye for the collector."

Summary: They're back
Review: I was very excited to watch the last season. This one was one of the best. After somewhat disappointing 5th season with only 8 episodes, season six part one was great and back to its original fun, and witty ways.
I was glad there were 12 episodes in part one of season six. The story lines were finally related to the previous seasons, and it was good to see a flow in the story lines.
One of the best seasons, very funny!!!

Summary: Genius, Fun, and Funny!
Review:


The show "Sex and the City" is the most fun and refreshing thing
to hit television EVER. So much of it was the girls, the stars, the
women who made the characters come alive. And alot of it was
the writing by geniuses like Michael Patrick King and Greg Behrendt
and Liz Tuccillo, the duo who just brought out the book "He's Just
Not Into You." I would completely endorse this DVD and the book
mentioned above,
as well as the DVD "New Sex Now" and video "Goddess Worship" for
any and all mature viewers/readers interested in spicy, fun material.

Summary: Worthy ending for a fine show, but...
Review: I was a fan of "Sex and the City" right from the start, and I believe the writers of the series came up with an ending for the series that was pitch perfect. Each of the four main characters grew as a person during the course of the series, and each character developed in a way that was consistant with her personality.

The final four episodes of the series finds the ladies being called upon the deal with some decidedly grown-up issues: Miranda takes her aging mother-in-law into her home, Samantha deals with breast cancer with bravery and humor. The last two episodes, "An American Girl in Paris," are quite well-written, with Carrie dropped into a fantasy world of Parisian fashion and old-world romance with the Russian, and SJP does a good job portraying Carrie's longing for the city she loves and her friends as dark side of her fantasy life becomes apparent.

As the series draws to an end, there is no quadruple wedding (the show's single fans would have stormed HBO's office with pitch forks if that had happened,) there is no miracle pregnancy for Charlotte. The show was always much tell well written for such a pat and unrealistic ending. Yet, the final episode ends with each of the ladies with prospects for a happy future. And, yes, I swooned when the oh-so-elusive Mr. Big showed up in Paris to claim Carrie for his own.

My only problem with the DVD is the one that many others seem to have: HBO should have never have split the final season into two DVDs. This behavior is disrespectful to the shows loyal fans for two reasons: 1.) The shameless greed it shows. 2.) Fans had to wait several months for the final four episodes. They simply are not providing good value for the money.

Also, I might add that the extras on the Season 6, Part 2 DVD are nothing special. For the extra expense and wait that HBO forced the "Sex and the City" fans to go to, there should have been much more.

Summary: Great Show - But Two Full Sets for One Season?
Review: I've been a fan of the show for a while now. I started buying up the DVD sets as they came out... impatiently awaiting the next installment in the series.

When Season 5 came out, I was severely disappointed to see them charge full price for 8 hurried episodes. They could've put them all on one disc and sold it for $20... but this is the money machine. They've already roped us in with the first four seasons. Why not drag it out in the end?

So now here's season 6. We are required to pay $65-80 to get the full season? Are you kidding me? I still haven't even seen season 6. I don't want to pay for it. Maybe I'll just go rent it.

I hope whoever made that decision reads these reviews. Shame on you.

Summary: I love this show
Review: When the show was on TV regularly, my household did not have HBO as part of the cable package. For the years "Sex and the City" was on , I always watched the award shows (Emmys, Golden Globes, etc) and I never got what all the hoopla about "Sex" was. A few weeks ago my friend recieved this season for a christmas gift. I had never seen a single episode prior to the final season. But I loved all of them. Me and my girlfriends are always in the mood to watch a little "Sex and the City" when we are feeling down in the dumps and need a good laugh. These women go through everything in the book when it comes to men and relationships. You can relate to all of the situations in some way.
It amazes me how someone could write a show like this. That's talent right there. Some may call this type of show perverse and totally immoral but I call it hysterical! I wish I could have enjoyed the show when it was still on the air. Thank God for DVDs!

Summary: Great, but ...
Review: I got into "Sex" just as the sixth season began, and enjoyed the first five seasons. This one is also great.

It's a sad fact, though, that the DVD extras on many series are usually not that good. I got tired of past voiceovers that were mainly recitations of what a genius the director/producer/hairdresser/lighting grip is.

My main gripe is with the Museum of Radio and TV seminar. I didn't get past the intro, which has some speaker who cannot seem to put two words together without stuttering. His intro has such gems as "New York in the, uh, post-, uh, -11, uh, era."

I gave up on it before Ms. Nixon was introduced.

Looking forward to the alternate endings for Part Two.

Summary: Only for the die hard fans...
Review: I loved the show and wish it was still on the air because the knock offs just don't compensate for the real thing. However, I have a few criticisms of these DVD's, my first criticism is that season 6 is divided in half. They should charge us one price for one season. Will they charge us full price for the last half of season 6 too? It appears so. How much more does corporate America need to bilk out of fans of this fabulous show?

My last criticism is the lack of extras on the DVD's. For a 30 minute per episode series, there should be a plethora of interviews, featurettes and so forth, especially at the prices charged for these disks but when you pop them into your DVD player, there isn't very much there by way of extras.

If you're an absolute die hard fan and are going to watch these DVD's a hundred times, I would recommend buying them. For those viewers who aren't going to watch the DVDs that many times Netflix has them for rent. You pay less than $20 a month to rent as many DVDs as you can watch and send back in 30 days. They even have a risk free trial offer that you can cancel after the two weeks, if you want. You can rent the DVDs that way, get your fix and not feel bad about being ripped off.
