If anyone still needed proof that And Just Like That hasn’t resonated with me, I’ve got two solid examples that show just how irrelevant this show has become over its three seasons. I didn’t remember that Seema had her financial consultation with the same bank employee who once denied Carrie a loan to buy her apartment in Sex and the City. And even more shocking — I completely missed that they killed off a supporting character twice!

Thankfully, the internet and social media exist — not only to give writers headaches but also, more positively, to challenge them to do better.

Of course, anyone still watching And Just Like That is already familiar with the endless controversies, questionable writer choices, and characters who feel like distorted versions of their original selves from Sex and the City. But the most recent episode of season three delivered something even the most forgiving fans couldn’t ignore: the exact same character was killed off again as if no one — absolutely no one — had bothered to check the scripts from season one.

It also reflects how desperately the showrunners seem to be scrambling to give Lisa Todd Wexley (Nicole Ari Parker) something to do. In this episode, she calls Charlotte in tears to say her father has just died. The scene is written to be poignant and emotionally charged, and it’s clearly meant to motivate some major decisions for Lisa. The problem? That storyline already happened — and was resolved — back in season one.

In episode two of the first season, Lisa comforts Charlotte after Big’s sudden death by saying, “I was exactly like that when my father died last year.” Plain and simple. It was there, on record — and now it’s gone viral in side-by-side TikTok comparisons. The audience didn’t let it slide. For many, this blunder proves that no one on the writing team revisited past scripts — a shocking oversight for an HBO production carrying the weight of a cultural icon like Sex and the City.

Reddit threads and viral videos quickly picked up the error. “How did no one catch this?” one outraged fan asked. Another added, “This is the laziest writing I’ve ever seen.” And someone went even further: “This show is just a soulless cash grab, with no continuity or care.”

The blunder reignited a familiar frustration among longtime viewers — that And Just Like That has little respect for the emotional intelligence of those who grew up with Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha. The criticisms aren’t new — from the beginning, fans have pointed out how the writing has become caricatured, inconsistent, and often feels like expensive fanfiction.

Lisa, once introduced as a refreshing new presence, now finds herself at the center of a moment that highlights just how careless the series has become. And this isn’t a small oversight: a father’s death is a pivotal life event — not something to be reused or misremembered. The mistake also raises questions about the show’s overall continuity. In another fan-recalled scene, Lisa’s father is even seen having dinner with her family in season two. So… he died, came back to life, joined them for dinner, and died again?

While Carrie continues to spiral in her eternal on-again-off-again with Aidan, and Miranda tries to figure out (yet again) who she is, maybe the real question left for viewers is: do the writers actually care about the story they’re telling? Or are we watching the slow dismantling — chapter by chapter — of the characters who once taught us how to laugh, cry, and survive in New York?

In the end, what was meant to be a touching emotional scene became a social media punchline. And for a show already struggling to win over even its most loyal fans, mistakes like this are getting harder and harder to defend.
