PlatinumRead Just so...so bad

Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

SnoopyStyle The show begins in 1984. Carrie Bradshaw (AnnaSophia Robb) is a 16 year old high school student in Castlebury, Connecticut. Her dad (Matt Letscher) is left alone with her and her little sister Dorrit (Stefania Owen) after the death of her mother. Sebastian (Austin Butler) is the new pretty boy with the troubled past. Her best friends Maggie (Katie Findlay) and Walt Reynolds (Brendan Dooling) are dating except she's sleeping with an older man and he's gay. Her other friends are the smart Mouse (Ellen Wong) and nemesis-turn-friend Donna LaDonna (Chloe Bridges). She tries to have a life in Manhattan with an internship at a law office which she quits for one at Interview magazine for her flaky boss Larissa (Freema Agyeman). In the second year, she meets wild Samantha Jones (Lindsey Gort).This show received lots of heat for not being a strict prequel to 'Sex and the City'. The tone is definitely a run-of-the-mill high school drama. It's pretty tame and unimpressive. I don't really care if it doesn't connect all the dots with SatC. However if the name isn't there, this is a very bland show. ASR is a very impressive young actress doing a solid job. Katie Findlay could be the next breakout star. She has a great story at the end of the first season. In fact, that was the only high point of the show. The rest is a passable affair.

Alan Ramírez I never write reviews on IMDb, but after seeing horrible reviews, I had to do something. I have never watched SATC or the movies, but I wanted to watch this show because it looked like a good break from horror shows. First of all, the series is BASED on the book series of The Carrie Diaries, not the SEX AND THE CITY books/TV show/movies. And when you read the word based, it means that it won't be 100% accurate; that never happens when a book becomes a show/movie. I don't see why that would scare away some hardcore SATC fans, you're here to see how Carrie made it, not if she looks like SJP, or if his dad is present instead of her mom. And all those changes were made by Candace Bushnell, the author of SATC. So make your research before complaining. TCD delivers just the old-fashioned taste of a teen drama; no horror, no blood, just good drama about a group of teens and about their issues while they are on High School. AnnaSophia was the perfect choice to have her own show, I find her charismatic and an actress that can be the lead of a show. The rest of the cast is great too. The plot is awesome; there are not bad episodes, and week by week you want more and more! There's always something going on. Overall, I find this as my current favorite show because it's just a show that you don't take too seriously but you enjoy it because of all the 80's vibe, the cast and the stories. Give it a chance if you like teen shows!

BatBanks Smith The series need be canceled, I don't understand why they gave it a second chance. The series is rather pointless now it was mediocre when it first came on. Carrie's friends are not interesting enough and I don't like Carrie's little sister, Dorrit. She's obnoxious, and she need to stop hating/jealousy of her because their late mother favorite Carrie. First of all, the storyline are weak, the young actors in the series acting is mediocre, and the series was not Gossip Girl-style enough either. I watch the series because of AnnaSophia Robb was in it. AnnaSophia Robb is talented young actress but she should done another show or stick to movies again.

plummoderndesign This is a very weird show, as it is very "little girly" with the cute voice over, etc. Yet, there are some pretty racy type things..which is fine if you are older and watching this. But then, if you are going to cater to both young and older audience, then give us some real nostalgic authenticity. Because as a person who was this age in the 80's, there is nothing even remotely fun about watching the show from that viewpoint either. The props are not that accurate, the clothes are not accurate, the phrases are not accurate.. who used the phrase "drama queen" in the 80's? That came much later. So it isn't even fun to watch for nostalgia. I am a few episodes in, and haven't once thought "oh wow, I remember that!" The music is okay, but they could choose better moments with that too.. it just seems like the production crew isn't really in touch with this era.. at all. And the show doesn't really seem appropriate for young girls, so I really don't see where this is going. Hopefully they figure it out later.
