Sex and the City: How Samantha Was Right About Everything

267,707 Views ā€¢ Apr 6, 2024 ā€¢ Click to toggle off description
Samantha Jones is a self-assured and self-reliant icon who put the sex in Sex and the City. Samantha has always been a fan favorite, but during the showā€™s run she was often framed as the most out there one of the bunch ā€“ someone youā€™d want to be friends with but not necessarily be. But looking back, Samantha was right about so many things, even if she got flack for it at the time. And while she certainly wasnā€™t perfect, she offers a number of important lessons about building the life you want and staying true to yourself no matter what. So letā€™s take a look back at Samanthaā€™s outlook on life and love and how she was way ahead of the curve.

Thank you for watching! Up next, watch our video on why Charlotte was totally wrong about love (but not wrong to believe in it!) https://youtu.be/bnDFbaO5Ctc Or check out our entire playlist of Sex and the City videos: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY8-JHLY9yDPnwDKTnyu_LJā€¦

Samantha's refrain, "I love you, but I love me more" is sage advice and why she is irreplaceable.

Samantha was 100% the best character on Sex and the City. She was the most likable, the funniest, the least judgemental, and she was a mood. I sure hope her back is still in good shape after carrying Sex and the City on it.

You forgot to mention all the ageism during those years about her. The joke was always about her being older... But she usually looks better than them.

Let's be real. Samantha left New York and the women on her life because she realized they were terrible friends and wasn't going to deal with their shit anymore.

Samatha was the best friend on the show. And the least problematic. And the sole reason I watched SATC. I miss her.

I love that moment between Char and Sam with the stolen baby name. Sam couldnā€™t give a shit about baby stuff but she loves Char and hates Laney so much she comes thru. Thatā€™s outstanding

One of my many favorite Samanthaā€™s moments is when she calls out Carrie for having a limited view of sexuality for a sex columnist.

The only thing that never made sense about Samantha was why she was friends with the 3 others šŸ¤” She deserved better.

Theres a reason why gay guys love Samantha and Blanche: confident in themselves, assured in their sexuality, loyal to their sisters.

The best thing about Samantha was that she knew and liked herself, which is why she could put herself first so easily and still empathize with her friendsā€™ struggles. Miranda knew and disliked herself, Carrie was always seeking validation in the men she dated and Charlotte aspired to be someone she wasnā€™t and lived her life trying to achieve what she believed that person wouldā€™ve wanted. Itā€™s why Samantha grew but never really changed, and why she stayed the best character on the show throughout the entire series

She also in my opinion had a wardrobe that aged the best, I loved her style then and most of it still now

Kim Cattrell was such a legend, that when they offered her a ton of money for Sex and the City 3, she turned it down and was disgusted with the proposed storyline of her seducing teenage Brady. yes, that was a story idea. that was when she refused to return, aside from the AJLT cameo. Samantha Jones, is confident, assured, and happy in her life and sexuality, but like hell was the character going to sleep with a child, who she baby sat in the show!

Samantha was always the first one to support her friends. She was the comedic relief.

Samantha should have been the main character. Shame we didn't get a spin off series

Carrie didn't deserve Sam's friendship and loyalty.

Samantha ran so millennial women can walk. She taught an entire generation that we don't have to limit ourselves for men and we are finally catching up with what she was talking about 2 decades ago!

This take is exactly why I was so angry with AJLT. They assassinated Samā€™s character for a petty off screen feud. Throughout six seasons (and two atrocious movies), the writing consistently reinforced that Sam was nonjudgmental, incredibly loyal, and upfront with those closest to her. To suggest she fell out with Carrie and the gang due to a completely uncharacteristic disagreement is ridiculous (and letā€™s be honest: it wouldā€™ve been Sam desperately trying to convince Carrie to shift gears in a rapidly changing media landscape, while Carrie wouldā€™ve dug in her heels refusing to adapt as always, leaving them both in a precarious position). But also to suggest she wasnā€™t upfront and honest in her discussions about it (rather than aloof and distant), is completely out of Samā€™s character. Having Sam die and Big run off permanently to London without explanation would have been far more honest to both characters. And having Carrie take on and honor Samā€™s characteristics of self-love, directness, and empowerment while navigating divorce could have been a way to respect Samā€™s character while also respecting off screen issues.

A healthy relationship of any kind should never make you feel trapped. If you feel trapped by it, then it is not serving its purpose.
