As far as “And Just Like That” is concerned, women in their 50s are insecure and scared to have even the most basic, honest conversation with their loved ones, argues Claire Cohen. Whatever happened to giving fewer fucks as you get older?
It seems that I may have been laboring under a misapprehension, ladies. I thought we had all agreed on one thing: the older you get, the less you care—what anyone thinks of you, about saying what you really feel and asking for what you want. Most of that youthful self-consciousness ebbs away as you advance in years, and not before time..
But there’s something about the insecurity that has bubbled to the surface in the latest episodes that makes me want to scream, and goes against everything I’d been looking forward to as my own 40s and 50s appear ever closer., which sees Carrie torpedo her own podcast because she can’t say the word “vagina” on air—a prospect so awful that she feels “humiliated, mortified, I want to die” over it.
Then there’s Miranda, the ballsy lawyer who could identify a “he’s just not that into you” scenario a mile off, but who is now so fearful of asking her partner, Che, what’s bothering them that she convinces herself their relationship is nothing more than sex. Who can’t make her mind up about whether to get a robot tattoo, and is pathetically grateful to the owner of the parlor for having the most cursory of salesman-like conversations with her.
The characters in the original series regularly lacked self-awareness, but they were less inhibited and clumsy than this. And even their messiest moments were handled with humor. I know that people can evolve as they get older, but Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte seem to have devolved.
