Editorial Review:

A smart and savvy (albeit highly stylized) look at the single lives of four thirtysomething Manhattan women, Sex and the City: The Complete Second Season builds on the foundation of its first season with plot arcs that are both hilarious and heartfelt, taking the show from breakout hit to true pop-culture phenomenon. Relationship epiphanies coexist happily alongside farcical plots and zingy one-liners, resulting in emotionally satisfying episodes that feature the sharp kind of character-defining dialogue that seems to have disappeared from the rest of TV long ago. When last we left the NYC gals, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) had just broken up with a commitment-phobic Mr. Big (Chris Noth), but fans of Noth's seductive-yet-distant rake didn't have to wait long until he was back in the picture, as he and Carrie tried to make another go of it. Their relationship evolution, from reunion to second breakup, provides the core of the second season. The fittingly titled and keenly observed episode 'Evolution' found Carrie trying to leave a few feminine belongings at Mr. Big's apartment with little success, charting the challenges and limits of intimacy. And the season's finale, 'Ex and the City,' was a melancholy goodbye for Carrie and Big that took its cue from The Way We Were. It wasn't all angst, though: among other adventures, Charlotte (Kristin Davis) puzzles over whether one of her beaus was 'gay-straight' or 'straight-gay'; Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) tries to date a guy who insists on having sex only in places where they might get caught; and Samantha (the exquisite Kim Cattrall) copes with dates who range from, um, not big enough to far too big--with numerous stops in between. Through it all, the four actresses cohered into a solid ensemble that played on their complex relationships among themselves as well as with men; in two short years, Parker and company became one of the best TV casts in over a decade. And to top it all off, the second season offers 18 episodes, six more than the first. Sometimes size really can make a difference! --Mark Englehart

Rating:  - A second visit with Carrie and friends
Eighteen fun episodes from early in the show's run. At this point in the series the humor was still more anecdotal than character based; that is, if there was a funny sexually-oriented story, anecdote, or situation to be related, the writers threw it in, applying it to whatever girl seemed most convenient. Later, as the characters' personalities and back stories developed, the writers were a little more careful about the types and variety of sexual adventures each girl experienced. But the sexual craziness of the first couple of seasons is still entertaining, and certainly very funny.
The various seasons of "Sex and the City" have really come down in price since their initial appearance on DVD, so now is a good time to see them for the first time, or in my case, to get re-acquainted with the show. After all, the "Sex and the City" movie will be coming out soon, so I have to refresh my memory on the lives of Carrie and company!
Stylish packaging and menus, good organization of the episodes, and crystal clear picture and sound round out this very entertaining DVD package.
Rating:  - Another solid season.
Sex and the City - The Complete Second Season is just as fascinating as the first season. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha are back as they struggle with more guy issues. My favorite episode is Take Me Out to the Ballgame, Sarah Jessica Parker's performance in this episode is so real and emotional, it always makes me cry watching it. I highly recommend purchasing this season and all the other season as well. It's pure fun, enjoy!
Rating: - A great series!!
This was one of HBO's best series! It was very funny, full of action and drama you gotta love Samantha she is Definitely my favorite. I will miss this show who knows maybe they will bring back(lol) I can dream can't I?
Rating:  - Oh great irony!!!
After making me watch Sex and the City with her, my wife astutely observed that at the heart of this show is a great irony. Touted as a "breakout show" lauding feminism and female empowerment, Sex and the City ironically only managed to portray women as more shallow, superficial, petty and empty-headed than virtually any other television show in history (thank creator Darren Star). Far from challenging whatever backward notions might remain that women are not men's equals, all watching this show would actually do is effectively confirm everything about women that misogynistic chauvinists unfoundedly believe, especially but not limited to the beliefs that women are silly, adolescent, juvenile and totally unencumbered by any burdens of logic, adulthood or maturity. Great progress.
Tiring quickly of Carrie Bradshaw's infantile and meaningless ponderings--"Is New York all about change?" "Are new myths required for singles?" "Is life in Manhattan like a bagel with cream cheese?" Here's one: "Is life really all about perpetually asking meaninglessly vacuous questions and then posing witty but ultimately arbitrary responses?"--one is left to wonder what exactly happened to her in childhood that so effectively stunted her emotional development, seemingly forever cementing her personality at about a sixteen/seventeen-year old emotional age. Are we supposed to pity her that "Big" treats her like a little kid, regardless of the fact that she disturbingly acts like an unbalanced little child? I ... Read More
Rating: - Superior sophomore season - by this point you're an addict
*Possible spoilers within.*
"Sex and the City"'s first season was a delight, but its second was even better. Season 2 ran from June to October 1999 and spanned 18 episodes, as opposed to Season 1's 12. By the time one reaches Season 2, you love the characters, you go into a trance when the charmingly surreal credits sequence comes on, and you need two hours to get back into the swing of everyday life when an episode finishes. You're an addict.
And what's not to love? The cast is even better. Cynthia Nixon's Miranda loosens up, and even develops a long-term relationship with super-cute bartender Steve (David Eigenberg). Kristin Davis' Charlotte becomes even more obsessed with finding Mr. Right, but he's no where to be seen. Samantha (Kim Cattrall) ... well, continues to sleep around. Meanwhile, Carrie's (Sarah Jessica Parker) life is just as crazy as ever. Still broken up over her - well, break up with Mr. Big (Chris Noth), Carrie tries to leap back in to the dating game to no avail. However, a few close encounters of the Big kind and they're together again, a fact Carrie is first ashamed, then proud of. Can they make it work the second time around?
Throughout Season 2, Carrie continues to ask those questions that have haunted single women for years. She's no longer as "in control" as she was during the first season, though. Her breakup with Big has left her feeling vulnerable and lost. Fortunately, she has three wonderful friends, and a team of ... Read More
