Sex and the City review from Joe Klock Sr
Joe Klock Sr writes that Sex and the City failed to amuse, calling four lead women self indulgent and focused on sexual matters. He notes the show won the 2001 Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series, yet argues its humor rests on depraved behavior and empty aims, contrasting it with happier shows like Everybody Loves Raymond and Frasier.
