Many viewers claim the new version is trying way too hard to fit in with modern times. But according to actress Cynthia Nixon, who plays Miranda Hobbes on the series, these updates were essential.<\/p>\n<p>The original \u201cSATC\u201d premiered in 1998 and ended in 2004. The series was initially heralded as progressive, but critics looking back say there are multiple instances of homophobia, discrimination, cultural appropriation, and slut shaming, just to name a few. The series was edgy at the time. However, \u201cSATC\u201d wouldn\u2019t be classified as anywhere near woke by today\u2019s standards.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest issues is the lack of diversity. \u201cAJLT\u201d producers were eager to rectify this issue, and Nixon said that\u2019s a major reason she agreed to the project. She discussed some of her thoughts during an episode of \u201cThe Drew Barrymore Show\u201d this week, The Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-10444857\/Cynthia-Nixon-says-important-fix-wrong-Sex-City.html\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you revisit something that was such a big part of your life and so iconic,\u201d Nixon told Barrymore in response to a question about deciding to sign on for the sequel. \u201cI mean it\u2019s a big step but also it seemed to me we are very different people now, we are very different ages now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cWe were in our early 30\u2019s when we started, we are 55, 56 now. And the world is very different. I wanted to be sure, and I think we all wanted to be sure that when we went back we could save a lot of what was great about the original and fix what was maybe not so great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Next, the actress addressed the issue of racial representation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike the fact that it was such an overwhelmingly white show. That we would really open up the door and invite these new characters in and really do right by them so we could get great actors and actresses to play them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAJLT\u201d is missing the fourth member of their group after actress Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones in the original version, decided not to participate. But in Cattrall\u2019s place, the producers added a bevy of secondary characters who are all intentionally non-white.<\/p>\n<p>Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker), Seema Patel (Sarita Choudhury), Dr. Nya Wallace (Karen Pittman) and Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez) each serve as friends and even lovers for Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte. Miranda has also been exploring a sexual relationship with the non-binary character Che. This comes as a real disappointment to fans of her husband Steve (David Eigenberh), especially now that the characters are heading toward divorce.<\/p>\n<p>Fans aren\u2019t upset that Miranda is experimenting with sexuality; that\u2019s always been a theme of the show. They\u2019re more disappointed that she would cheat on her husband plus lie about it with Che, which are both actions that don\u2019t fit with Miranda\u2019s personality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some critics are saying \u201cAJLT\u201d is trying to inject too many woke themes into the series to make people love them, which is mostly backfiring.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
