As ‘Sex and the City’ streams on Netflix, Gen Z critiques Carrie Bradshaw’s choices, calling her cringe and toxic.

They’re calling her out on social media for being cringe. One college student pointed out how Carrie cheats on Aidan and then expects him to forgive her. It’s like, really?
Another viewer mentioned how Carrie has an affair with Mr. Big while he’s married, yet she plays the victim. It’s no wonder TikTok is flooded with searches like “Carrie Bradshaw cringe compilation.”
The relationship between Carrie and Big is a big topic of discussion. Many younger fans think it’s toxic. They see Carrie as someone who puts up with Big’s disrespect, which is a total turn-off.
Even those who loved the show back in the day are starting to see things differently. A podcast host admitted that while Carrie was once an idol, now she realizes the relationship was unhealthy.
Some fans still love Carrie’s style, though. They just wish she’d make better choices. It’s a mixed bag of nostalgia and new perspectives, and it’s clear that Gen Z is not afraid to speak their minds about it.
