Okay, let's talk Sex and the City! That show that made cosmos a lifestyle and taught us that finding your Mr. Big is, well, a big deal. But the burning question for any newbie (or someone whose memory is a bit hazy from too many cosmopolitans?): How many episodes are there, really?
Fear not, friends! We're about to dive into the Manolo Blahnik-filled world of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte, and Miranda and figure out exactly how many episodes you need to binge to feel like a true New Yorker (even if you live in, like, Idaho).
The Magical Number: 94
That's right, folks! There are a glorious 94 episodes of the original Sex and the City. Think of it as 94 opportunities to judge Carrie's questionable outfit choices (just kidding...mostly!), 94 chances to feel empowered by Samantha's unapologetic confidence, and 94 doses of the complicated, messy, and utterly relatable lives of these four best friends.
94! It might sound like a lot, but trust me, they fly by faster than you can say "I couldn't help but wonder..."
Breaking it Down by Season
To make things even easier (because who needs more drama than a SATC episode?), let's break down those 94 episodes by season:
- Season 1: 12 episodes – A nice little appetizer to get you hooked.
- Season 2: 18 episodes – Things start heating up, and the fashion gets even bolder.
- Season 3: 18 episodes – The rollercoaster of relationships really kicks in. Buckle up!
- Season 4: 18 episodes – Move over Aidan, enter the Big Apple dilemmas.
- Season 5: 8 episodes – A shorter season, but still packed with witty banter and heartwarming moments.
- Season 6: 20 episodes – The grand finale! So many twists, turns, and outfits.
See? Not so scary, right? You could practically watch a whole season over a long weekend. Think of it as self-care, but with more shoes.
But Wait, There's More! (Movie Alert!)
Of course, the story doesn't end with the series finale. We also have the two Sex and the City movies! These are like extended episodes with bigger budgets and even more fabulous locations. Perfect for when you've finished all 94 episodes and are craving that extra dose of Manhattan magic.
SATC The Movie came out in 2008, and SATC 2 followed in 2010. Opinions on the second one are... divisive, let's just say. But hey, more Carrie Bradshaw is never *really* a bad thing, is it?
And Then Came *And Just Like That...*
Because the universe loves us (or maybe HBO Max does), we've also been blessed with And Just Like That..., the revival series! This picks up with Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte (Samantha is mentioned but not physically present) as they navigate their 50s in New York City.
There are currently two seasons of And Just Like That..., with more hopefully on the way! It's a different vibe, for sure, but it's still a fun way to catch up with our favorite characters and see what they're up to.
So, What Are You Waiting For?
Whether you're a seasoned SATC veteran or a total newbie, now you know: there are 94 episodes of the original series, plus two movies, and two seasons (so far!) of And Just Like That... That's a whole lot of cosmos, fashion, and friendship to enjoy.
So, grab your best girlfriends (or your comfiest pajamas), pour yourself a drink, and prepare to be transported to the world of Sex and the City. Because sometimes, all you need is a little bit of New York City magic to make your day a whole lot brighter.
Go forth and binge! You deserve it!
