I didn’t exactly love the last couple of series of And Just Like That but like many of my generation, I’m invested

One scene in the new season of Sex and The City spin-off And Just Like That is just too much, but it’s hard to turn away.

It’s been described as the “lick ick”, and just thinking about it again makes me wanna go ewwww.

I’ll get to that racy TV scene later.

But first, let’s get this straight, Aidan has always been top level cringe.

But And Just Like That Aidan, Carrie Bradshaw’s back-again partner in the rebooted TV series after Mr Big carked it on the peloton a few seasons back (and was cancelled in real life) is not just ewww, but raises a whole lot of red (and beige) flags.

Yes, I didn’t exactly love the last couple of series of AJLT, but like many of my generation, I’m invested.

The Sex and The City spin-off following our girls Carrie, Miranda and Charlotte – Samantha, sadly, said sayonara after fighting off-screen with Sarah Jessica Parker – as they navigate the “complicated reality of life, love, sex and friendship in their 50s in New York City”.

Season three premiered last week.

And despite its over-the-top trite attempts to diversify and represent every single minority after the ’90s cult hit was called out for being all a bit, er, white, I sat down with the man (who pretends he doesn’t watch these shows) to enjoy some hate watching, only for the ick and cringe to start.

No, it wasn’t Rosie O’Donnell’s cameo as a virgin nun for Miranda’s holy hook-up.

Sidenote, they have really done Miranda Hobbs, an intelligent human rights lawyer, a disservice.

Most of my friends who have turned lesbian later in life (it’s a thing) have no problem finding a woman.

What they have trouble with is getting out of a relationship that turns into a mini-marriage after the first date.

It wasn’t even Carrie’s Hindenburg balloon-Strawberry Shortcakes-esque hat while eating ice cream in Washington Square Park that was the worst thing about the season premiere.

No, it was Aidan.

I had big issues last season when Aidan would not step inside her beloved brownstone Upper East Side apartment citing his bad memories there, only to step in once she’d up and moved for him.

And to tell Carrie he could not communicate while he dealt with family issues, asking for a five-year hiatus, was bad enough.

But to then call her a few beer cans in because he was randy and fancied phone sex was a big ol’ red flag.

And then … Just Like That … came the spit on the hand.

You get the picture.

It was all just TOO MUCH.

I couldn’t help but wonder, will I hate watch the rest of the season and dissect and wince over every scene? You bet!
