Sex and the City. A cult series that was ahead of its time. How four girls changed our views on relationships and life

“Sex and the City” is a series that reshaped the perception of television, along with society's views on the lives of single, successful women conquering the metropolis. Each episode sparked a flurry of discussions and criticism, and the debate over how the series should have ended continues to this day. Jennifer Keishin Armstrong – a columnist for The New York Times and a renowned pop culture researcher – turned to the history of the series' creation, analyzed key episodes, interviewed the director, screenwriters, crew members, and, of course, viewers whose lives were changed by “Sex and the City.” The result of her research is this book. On one hand, you have the story of a cult series, from Candace Bushnell's column in the New York Observer to the feature film of 2010. On the other hand, it is a true study of the series as a cultural phenomenon that changed television, fashion, dating traditions, views on feminism, and attitudes towards female friendship.
