A smart and savvy (albeit highly stylized) look at the single lives of four thirtysomething Manhattan women, Sex and the City: The Complete Second Season builds on the foundation of its first season with plot arcs that are both hilarious and heartfelt, taking the show from breakout hit to true pop-culture phenomenon. Relationship epiphanies coexist happily alongside farcical plots and zingy one-liners, resulting in emotionally satisfying episodes that feature the sharp kind of character-defining dialogue that seems to have disappeared from the rest of TV long ago. When last we left the NYC gals, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) had just broken up with a commitment-phobic Mr. Big (Chris Noth), but fans of Noth's seductive-yet-distant rake didn't have to wait long until he was back in the picture, as he and Carrie tried to make another go of it. Their relationship evolution, from reunion to second breakup, provides the core of the second season. The fittingly titled and keenly observed episode "Evolution" found Carrie trying to leave a few feminine belongings at Mr. Big's apartment with little success, charting the challenges and limits of intimacy. And the season's finale, "Ex and the City," was a melancholy goodbye for Carrie and Big that took its cue from The Way We Were. It wasn't all angst, though: among other adventures, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) puzzles over whether one of her beaus was "gay-straight" or "straight-gay"; Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) tries to date a guy who insists on having sex only in places where they might get caught; and Samantha (the exquisite Kim Cattrall) copes with dates who range from, um, not big enough to far too big--with numerous stops in between. Through it all, the four actresses cohered into a solid ensemble that played on their complex relationships among themselves as well as with men; in two short years, Parker and company became one of the best TV casts in over a decade. And to top it all off, the second season offers 18 episodes, six more than the first. Sometimes size really can make a difference! --Mark Englehart

 Video Girls on HBO August 2, 2008
If I'd watched this season first, I'd have never gone to see the movie or watched later episodes of the show. Fortunately, most of the syndication episodes I see on TV are with Mr. Big and Carrie; Samantha and Jared; Charlotte and the Jewish guy; and Miranda and the bartender. Call me a prude, but I liked the later episodes so much better because each woman stuck to one man; wasn't having sex on a first date with every guy who looked cute and seemed nice; and they seemed to be slightly more street smart. In this season, everybody's coming home late at night and jumping in folks' cars; having sex with someone different on every single episode (why do we pick on video girls when there are shows like this on the air?); and Miranda and Charlotte drove me insane. Miranda is that bitter, angry, no man friend that every male on Planet Earth can't stand because she's always the tightest friend with their girlfriend. She had some male bashing comment on just about every episode, but ironically, she couldn't WAIT to find a man and complained continuously about why nobody wanted her. Maybe because you're mean and annoying! Charlotte, on the other hand, bothered me more. I respect some of her old-fashioned ways about getting to know a man before having sex, and wanting to not use certain vocabulary words that are classless, but everything else about her made me want to scratch my eyes out. She was a complete hypocrite by lecturing people on being too slutty, but then she had sex with some guy at a wedding. That was a Samantha move! No matter what the guy does, she swears her dates are "the one" and talks about wanting to get married and have children more than even the old 80s sitcoms I'd see. If Charlotte's character met Mrs. Brady (from "The Brady Bunch"), I think Mrs. Brady might ask her to loosen up a little.
The first season was better because there was less vulgar humor and more actual slap-your-thigh funny scenes. This season had "jokes" like someone nutting on another person's forehead. Ugh.
I hope the third season is better. If not, I'm going to start working with the last episodes and work my way to the bottom.
 Love the show July 7, 2008
Sex and the city will always be loved but this is definitely one of the best seasons.

I now have Seasons 1 & 2 of SATC, but haven't had a chance to watch them yet. I can't wait for a rainy or cold and snowy weekend, so I can be a couch potato alllll day!

No matter what your age or life is like every woman can relate to one or all of these ladies. Romance, finance, and disagreements among friends.
I love having my series collection to watch whenever I miss New York!
You won't be disappointed in having this seasons episodes!
Now all I need is the Movie DVD! :) Coming soon....

In its Second Season, SATC truly explored the sex and love of NYC through the wonderful lives of our four ladies.
Serial dating, weird sex, self realizations, and all the laughter culminate in a truly wonderful program. This season sets itself apart as the one that took the show into its irreverent direction. While continuing to channel Ms. Bushnell's articles, the show expanded to become all about these four women. They became real characters, not just vessels for the hilarious and odd that is NYC. And this season has some great balance between all the characters.
Every woman has her own storyline and incidents. The best for each are (in my humble opinion):
"The Cheating Curve" Charlotte losses interest in men after a boyfriend cheats on her, in front of her!! Enter the 'power lesbians!'
"The Man, The Myth, The Viagra" Samantha finds a very rich, but old, old man to treat her like a princess. But how much is she willing to give up for decadent dates?
"Evolution" Poor Miranda just can't catch a break: she breaks up with Steve, she has to humiliatingly tell her gyno she no longer needs birth control, and then she finds out she has a 'lazy' ovary! What's next? A date with hair-plug guy?!?!
"La Douleur Exquise" Carrie realizes she is a masochist when Mr. Big hurts her again ... this time he is fleeing the country! Her optimism and inability to see who Mr. Big for who he really is wrenches your heart, especially when Carrie does stop kidding herself.
"Ex and the City" Another Carrie episode, but the great group sing along and Samantha's embarrassing admission make this a perfect ladies episode. But oh that ending! Carrie and Big reenacting that scene, with that wild horse refusing to be bridled! (Only rivaled by Season 3's "What Goes Around Comes Around"- the Christian Dior newsprint dress swaying as she walks, through traffic, down the streets of New York, in slow motion!)
Highly, highly recommend!
