Sex and the City S1E1: Pilot Recap

Girls Rewatch: Sex and the City

Show Notes

In the Sex and the City pilot (1998), Carrie Bradshaw dives headfirst into the question: can women really have sex like men? She navigates the NYC dating scene with her friends Samantha (always sex-positive), Charlotte (hopelessly romantic), and Miranda (delightfully cynical). This episode has it all — Carrie experimenting with “no-strings” sex with a guy named Kurt, the first of her fourth-wall-breaking monologues, and, of course, the unforgettable introduction of Mr. Big. Amelia and Evan recap every moment because it's time for gen z to weigh in. We're done talking girls, let's talk women. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
