"Sex and the City" is an obvious choice. The series, after all, kicked off a new genre by placing female characters –– and their love lives –– in the mainstream. It also spawned two films, a prequel series, and, of course, a sequel series in "And Just Like That..."
"Sex and the City" is iconic for endless reasons. Before this show graced HBO, female empowerment and sexual expression didn't really find their way to the television screen –– at least when lead women characters were involved, that is. It features four fabulous women, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha, making New York City their playground as these female leads tackle their love lives, careers, and friendship. And, unlike "And Just Like That...," "Sex and the City" stars the lovely Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall). Samantha is an invaluable member of the "Sex and the City" group as she's arguably the most sexually confident, least judgmental, most carefree, a strong businesswoman, to boot, and she embodies the true meaning of the series.
But alas, "Sex and the City" is the perfect show to watch while you're waiting for more "And Just Like That..." episodes.
