Four beautiful Manhattan women in their mid-30s found sex easy to come by, but love harder to find, in this adaptation of the best-selling book by Candace Bushnell.

The ringleader, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), was a svelte blonde with long, flowing locks who wrote a column for the “New York Star’ on the late-night party and sex scene in New York. “Carrie Bradshaw knows good sex”, the column read, so of course she did her research, which apparently meant sleeping with every eligible bachelor in the city. Her three best friends were Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), a public relations executive who preferred one-night stands to a lasting relationship, Charlotte York McDougal (Kristin Davis), an art gallery curator looking for Mr. Right and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon), a lawyer with a sometimes eccentric taste in men. All were catty, self-absorbed and constantly gossiping about their latest conquests – and their worries that they might never find the right one.

Carrie thought she had found the right one in the devastatingly charming Mr. Big (Chris Noth) and their on-and-off romance was a thread that ran throughout the series. After too many let-downs from the emotionally unavailable Big, she took up with furniture designer Aidan Shaw (John Corbett), which led to an awkward triangle – even though Big had in the meantime married Natasha (Bridget Moynahan). Stanford Blatch (Willie Garson) was Carrie’s gay pal and confidant. Samantha ran through a constant stream of men (Charlotte to Sam: “Is your vagina listed in New York guidebooks? It should be. Hottest spot in town! Always open!”), even trying, lesbian Maria. Client Richard Wright (James Remar) was her longest-standing relationship. Charlotte finally married Dr. Trey McDougal (Kyle MacLachlan), only to discover he had impotence problems and a nutty mom (played by Frances Sternhagen). Miranda had a fling with Skipper and then conceived a baby by bartender Steve Brady (David Eigenberg). She considered an abortion – babies did not fit these women’s lifestyle – but instead gave birth, as a single mom, to baby Brady.

In the final season all four women’s lives changed. Carrie dated writer Jack Berger (Ron Livingston) for a time, then moved on to suave Russian artist Aleksandr; Petrovsky (Mikhail Baryshnikov); Samantha was diagnosed with breast cancer and began chemotherapy; Charlotte, divorced from Dr. Trey, married her divorce lawyer Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler) (After converting to Judaism) and tried to adopt a baby; and single mom Miranda, after much vacillating, finally married Steve. In the finale Carrie flew to Paris where she broke up with Aleksandr and finally received the long-sought commitment from Big (“It took me a really long time to get here, but I’m here. Carrie, you’re the one”). Big’s name was revealed to be John. Samantha finally committed to young actor Smith who had stood by her during her chemo. Charlotte and husband Harry, after many false starts, adopted a Chinese baby and Miranda moved to Brooklyn with her husband Steve to raise her baby and care for Steve’s elderly mother.

The emphasis on casual sex hardly fit the cautious 1990s, but the foursome’s constant worries about fitting in, growing old, self-fulfillment and female empowerment obviously struck a chord (Samantha: “The only place you can control a man is in bed. If we perpetually gave men blow jobs, we could run the world”). Although it appeared on the premium cable network, HBO, seen in only about one-third of U.S. homes, ‘Sex and the City’ was a major hit and trendsetter in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Samantha: Hi, my name is Samantha and I am a love-aholic.

Carrie (voice over): I got to thinking about fate. That crazy concept that we're not really responsible for the course our lives take. That it's all predestined, written in the stars. Maybe that explains why, if you live in a city, where you can't even see the stars, your love life tends to feel a little more random. And even if our every man, every kiss, every heartache, is pre-ordered from some cosmic catalogue, can we still take a wrong step and wander off our own personal milky way? I couldn't help but wonder, can you make a mistake and miss your fate?

Carrie: Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cites. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.
