Meghan McCain Calls 'And Just Like That' Season 2 Premiere 'Woke For Dummies Guide'

Meghan McCain strikes again with one of her audacious views, and this time it is about the season two premiere of "And Just Like That," a spin-off from the classic, "Sex And The City."

The overly critical author who initially talked down on the first season of the comedy series expressed her disappointment about the show not living up to the original series produced in 1998.

The former "View" co-host, who has once revealed that her simple pleasures involve watching series, experienced the opposite of a pleasurable experience after viewing the second season of "And Just Like That."

In her recent Daily Mail column, McCain shared an unapologetic opinion about the show not meeting the standard she envisioned. "And just like that... I can't watch another second of this lazy, woke slop," she began.

She explained her distaste: "The knock-off lacked everything that made the original series great; sharp dialogue, compelling characters, and plots broached taboo topics that mainstream American entertainment had never dared touch."

She tagged the new show as about "trans, cis, white, black " labels. The columnist noted that when Kim Cattrall's character was to make a surprise return to the show, she "jumped" in anticipation of finally getting the series she'd been yearning for.

She stated, "Samantha (a character in the show, played by Kim Cattrall) wasn't in the first season of the sequel, but if Cattrall's ballsy, offensive, authentic character was coming back, so was I. She won't stand for this progressive nonsense." "I couldn't wait," she further expressed. 

However, to her surprise, she was beyond disheartened when she watched the show. Conveying her thoughts, she continued, "Now, I wish I had. The creatives behind this series have learned nothing. More likely, they're perfectly content on milking this brand for all it's worth and destroying it in the process. But what's worse is that they demean the marginalized groups they claim to represent."

Breaking down the role each cast member played, McCain analyzed their significance in the drama and called out the flaw of each character.

She remarked, "Charlotte (Kristin Davis) is not doing anything other than being anxious. And Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) is in Los Angeles with her nonbinary partner Che Diaz, a stand-up comedian filming a sitcom."

The "Dirty Sexy Politics" author noted how each character got their marginal plot developments. "Nya wants to cheat on her estranged husband. Lisa is trying to raise money for her documentary. Seema is dating a con man and gets in a fight with her hairstylist," explained McCain.

She proceeded to express her disgust over the nudity contained in the series. She observed, "But Miranda and Che are fully naked, breasts out, writhing in a hot tub, in the middle of the day in Los Angeles. That's all within the first few minutes. And if you think that's a lot, wait out."

McCain noted that while the story was centered around the main characters, Che, who happened to be a new addition to the cast and using plural pronouns, was "reduced to nothing more than a stereotype."

"In season one, Che was portrayed as a hyper-aggressive queer, non-binary person. In season two, in an obvious nod to how ridiculous that looked, Che gets irked by the wardrobe department of their new tv show as they try to dress them in a cheesy, flashy blazer."

Indirectly questioning the competence of the directors, McCain proffered workable suggestions; she asserted, "It would be nice if the producers let actor Sara Ramirez explore Che's character and explain why Miranda moved across the country, leaving her husband, Steve, and son, Brady." 

Criticizing the series, she declared, "This season, just like the last, feels like a soulless exercise in ticking off a woke checklist. The bottom line is that 'Sex And The City' led American culture. 'And Just Like That' is desperately playing catch-up with a world that's passed it by."

She conclusively added, "It's nothing more than a 50-year-old progressive white woman's panic attack - a 'Woke for Dummies guide. I hope the actors and producers are all enjoying their paychecks; someone should get some pleasure out of this experience."

Regardless of McCain's savage opinion about the new season, which premiered with two episodes on Thursday, June 22, brought exciting details for fans.

Viewers got to see (Sarah Jessica Parker) trying to navigate her friends-with-benefit relationship with her podcast producer Franklyn (Ivan Hernandez). Miranda also questions her relationship with Che when she learns that Che is still married.

As for Charlotte, she got into a frenzy with her husband, Harry (Evan Handler), after she planned to take Anthony (Mario Cantone) to the Met Gala instead of him.
