So now, after everyone has seen, one can say the last line in the first episode of "Just Like That" out loud: "and just like that - big died".
The critics are angry, but everyone is wrong.
Big had to die.
What is the storm and rage about?
What did everyone actually expect?
Whole season Curry will talk to Big about the salmon she bought from the fisherman and they will listen to the records?
This is Curry.
She has to stir, love, get hurt, break her heart - and we'll be there to hold her fingers, because that's what 15 year old friendships do.
"Just Like That" is a daughter series of "Sex and the City" and does not claim to be more than that.
It's not sexy to hold on to the past and ask her to do things she does not want or need.
The deadly reviews the series receives are like a middle-aged CEO: he thinks he knows better than anyone, but does not understand how pathetic he looks when he moves his hair from side to side to hide the baldness. Pretty, cute, your baldness there, Face It. Move forward.

From the first close up on Big I knew it was over between them.
The belly, the white hair, the tired look.
He is no longer Mr. Big coming in a black Maybach, waiting for her downstairs, making eyes at her with the most bastard look in Manhattan and having no idea if she will see him again.
And he also should not be the same Big.
If that were the case, we would be doomed to a sleepy season just like the real life of any of the viewers who have been waiting for this series for 15 years: a couple in front of a TV talking about what they are cooking for dinner.
Deserves Curry (and especially us) more.
15 years of longing have come to an end.
The rhythm, style, smell and taste that set this series apart and make it the movie of our lives - are all still there.
Carrie Bradshaw's world has raised a whole generation of young women in the nineties.
Every issue that has been silenced until then has taken the forefront, not to mention real sex, from our point of view, the women, and not from the prism of an aging male screenwriter who thinks we work like Windows 1997 operating system.
We must not forget that "Sex and the City" dealt with what really interests us: examining relationships, those we have with good friends and those we have with ourselves - which may even be much more fascinating than the relationships with the men in our lives. The men for the first time were secondary, and mostly present there to serve our desires and needs for change, and not the other way around.
And now that we've just got it, "the sequel we've been waiting for so long, we are not really looking forward to some new statement that will change our lives forever, right?
"We can not just stay who we were," Miranda tells Charlotte in the opening scene, reminding us why we gathered.
"Sex and the City" is not just a series.
It is a masterpiece designed by an entire generation.
A generation that has since matured, wrinkled and bleached - and only a woman who has really been there, with Carrie, queuing for a club or feeling completely alone when not communicating - can understand that.
The creators of the series were not looking for a new audience, they have us.
The dialogues, the impressive fashion, the charm of Manhattan - all still HBO and all still there - it's just not new anymore, that's all.
Did not come to innovate for you.
"Just like that",
Charlotte 55 years old?
Yes, let's contain this information for a moment.
Yes, that means we're kissing 40 too.
So they grew up, and we grew up with them.
We too are no longer as relevant as they are and the discussions about vibrators that once shook the world feel outdated and heavy just like us.
The new series just does not try by force.
The 1990s are long over and nothing will win.
Neither the tutu skirt nor the Big.
"Just Like That" does not try to be young or up-to-date.
The characters went through and reflect to us the way we went through too.
The curiosity on which our visitors have lain is precisely our lack of up-to-dateness.
We are old.
And that's a privilege.
Pleasant viewing.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
