I would assume that most of you have watched "Sex and The City" once in your life. If not, you've at least heard of it. In this case, I was the late bloomer who has just recently gotten to know the famous columnist, Carrie Bradshaw. However, I think I am on the lucky end of this because I started to have an interest in the show right around the time the "prequel" 'The Carrie Diaries' came to the table.
This show is all about meeting the young Carrie Bradshaw. Who was she before living in Manhattan with her best girlfriends buying shoes, having sex, and writing a column on relationships? Well, we are sure to find out.
"The series, which aired on the CW last night, revolves around the 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw, played by AnnaSophia Robb, living in 1984 Connecticut," Chelsea White, reporter of DailyMail, said. "But reviews have so far been mixed, with one critic declaring it 'a couple of boroughs removed from the original."

In the interview between White and movie critic, Matt Zoller Seitz from New York magazine, Seitz claims that "The characters are bland. The younger actors are too untrained to invest them with life; the more experienced performers do the best they can with what little they’ve been given."
I completely disagree. As far as I can tell, I like The Carrie Diaries better than I like Sex and The City. Robb takes the innocence of a 16-year-old girl to the next level. Living in a small town in Connecticut, Bradshaw dreams of living a New York City life with fashion, friends, and adventure. What young girl wouldn't want that? Sure the actors are young but what do you expect from a show that is based on a teenage girl's life before New York? I am interested in watching next week's episode to see what else happens with Bradshaw's crazy teenage drama.
