At the time, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/toofab.com\/people\/sarah-jessica-parker\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sarah Jessica Parker's;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><strong>Sarah Jessica Parker&#8217;s<\/strong><\/a> Carrie Bradshaw remarked that she kept finding a reason not to move to the Hamptons, as another character asked if the reason was always Frankel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t feel bad about saying this about <em>And Just Like That<\/em>, because they dragged me Season 1. I have, nevertheless, watched this series,&#8221; Frankel began in her video. &#8220;This is the worst show ever. Honestly, this is from hero to zero. It&#8217;s just so forced. Every second, someone is wearing the most ridiculously outlandish [outfit].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After calling out what she considered the absurdity of Charlotte and Harry&#8217;s storyline and lack of housekeeper, Frankel then said Aidan Shaw was &#8220;like Goofy, all of a sudden, from f&#8211;king Disneyland&#8221; with his mannerisms and behavior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Everyone is like a weird caricature of themselves and it&#8217;s just like the most bizarre, forced show,&#8221; Frankel continued. &#8220;Put it in the back and shoot it. Put it to rest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I probably would be saying this in a gentler manner, but because they dragged me, this is like my inner-most self, unfiltered, unedited opinion of this show,&#8221; she later admitted, before wrapping up her rant. &#8220;It&#8217;s ridiculous. Everything is menopause. Everything is the most 2025 version of itself. If you&#8217;re gonna take a shot at this B, you better not miss, and you guys missed. Well done.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She captioned her post, &#8220;25 pounds of disaster in a 5-pound bag \u2014 and yep, it explodes,&#8221; while writing, &#8220;And just like that SUCKS&#8221; over her footage.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative mb-4\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"ct:story;elm:img;itc:0;\" class=\"stretched-box\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/articles\/fans-react-frustration-disappointment-just-141621910.html\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><\/div>\n<p><\/a><figcaption class=\"relative text-sm mt-1 pr-2.5\">\n<p>Fans React with Frustration, Disappointment to And Just Like That Finale as Creator Defends Ending &#8211; Click image for related story<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Frankel&#8217;s comments come as Parker reacted to those who generally &#8220;hate watched&#8221; the show while speaking with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/08\/15\/arts\/television\/sarah-jessica-parker-and-just-like-that-finale.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The New York Times;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em><strong>The New York Times<\/strong><\/em><\/a> for the finale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think I have the constitution to have spent a lot of time thinking about that,&#8221; she shared. &#8220;We always worked incredibly hard to tell stories that were interesting or real.
