Look, this is an adult show for adults, full stop. If you're a parent looking at this on Screenwise wondering if your teen can watch it—no. Hard no. The title is not misleading.
For adults? It was a cultural phenomenon that broke ground in the late 90s by showing women talking frankly about sex, dating, and their lives without apology. The friendship between the four women is genuinely strong, and it influenced an entire generation's approach to singlehood and independence.
But here's the thing: it hasn't aged particularly well. The lack of diversity is glaring, the materialism is over-the-top, and some of the attitudes about gender and sexuality feel pretty dated by 2025 standards. It's very much a time capsule of privileged white NYC culture circa 1998-2004.
The WISE score is low because this is emphatically not family content, and even for adults, it's more of a nostalgic rewatch than something that holds up as must-see TV. If you loved it in your twenties, it might be fun to revisit. But if you're discovering it fresh in 2025? There are better, more diverse, more thoughtful shows about female friendship and modern dating out there now.
