FYI: IIRC, I think I just read a preview of that show and it's a "Sex in the City" prequel, where Carrie (Bradshaw?) was one of the characters on SitC.

Yeah, I read that as well. I never watched more than a couple eps of the Sex in the City show, and none of the movies, and I enjoyed this series just fine. I think SitC had Carrie doing a voiceover, too? As far as I can recall, I think her voice is a good match for the grown up Carrie, but an actual fan of the original show would be a better judge of that.

It seems like a fine stand-alone show, though I think it has a lot of parallels as well. (In last night's ep, Carrie and her two friends sat around and talked about sex -- it struck me as a very SitC sort of scene.)

Unrelated, but I think this may be of interest to you. I'm not sure how you feel about Kickstarter or graphic novels, but this made me think of you immediately: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sheilaruth/rekindling-the-fire-rathas-creature-graphic-novel?ref=home_leanback

Thanks for the link! I have it open in a tab at home. Unfortunately I suspect it won't reach its goal, but I may or may not donate anyway. (Something about the art doesn't work for me, and I have to love the art to enjoy a web comic or graphic novel...)
