Now, I understand that relationships can take a battering over the course of several decades. I understand, too, that people can grow apart – so, no, I don’t begrudge Miranda for calling time on her relationship with Steve in HBO’s And Just Like That. What I cannot abide, though, is the fact that AJLT’s Miranda has seemingly had a personality transplant with SATC’s Carrie.

Think about it: Miranda dropped every single one of her major responsibilities – her internship, her job, her family, her friends – so that she could follow Che Diaz (Sara Ramírez) to Los Angeles. She began living out of a hotel room so that she could force a monogamous relationship on a self-described narcissist who, let’s face facts, isn’t all that into monogamy. And Miranda has since spent her days listlessly wandering around a strange city alone so that she could be around in the evenings when her oh-so-artistic other half was done working and in need of some company.

Basically, Che is Miranda’s very own Aleksandr Petrovsky (Mikhail Baryshnikov) – save for the fact that he and Carrie were at least semi-seriously dating before the big Paris move. And, you know, the fact that he actually asked Carrie to come with him beforehand. Miranda, I hasten to point out, just hopped on a plane to chase Che down after a throwaway “come with me if you want” from the podcaster-slash-comedian.
