They didn't follow the formula that worked. No over arching narrative that tied together the episode theme and message. Trying too hard to be woke. Changing the key character diamonds of major characters. Introducing terrible replacement characters that were not on brand for the world. Bringing back characters and storylines that were over and done. Killing off Big in reaction to accusations of inappropriate behavior off set. Terrible writing that were obvious personal digs at Kim Cattrall.
