5 ESSENTIAL SEX AND THE CITY EPISODES

And just like that… SATC is now on Netflix. Breeze through the series with our guide to the top can’t-miss installments

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

After her first split from Mr. Big, Carrie rebounds with an athlete who happens to play for her ex’s favorite baseball team. Come for the relatable gut punch of realizing you’re not ready to move on; stay for the sight of Carrie bedecked in fur, smoking in the nosebleeds of Yankee Stadium.

The Real Me

Carrie gets the chance to walk the runway for Dolce & Gabbana… alongside former NYC Mayor Ed Koch. With cameos from Alan Cumming and Heidi Klum, it’s SATC at its best: hilarious, glamorous and grounded in the knowledge that even supermodels among us have crises of confidence.

Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

Season 4 is full of stellar, emotional episodes, but this one stands out for its unflinching discussion of abortion in an era when that was still a rarity on TV. As Miranda weighs her options after getting pregnant, her friends come together to support her while sharing their own stories.

Anchors Away

SATC’s fifth central character, NYC, shines in the season 5 premiere, which finds Carrie and the gals letting loose during Fleet Week. The episode, which originally aired less than a year after 9/11, is a poignant love letter to the Big Apple that still manages to pack in the laughs.

Splat!

While the series saw tons of guest stars come and go over its six seasons, absolutely no one stole the show as much as Kristen Johnston did as aging It Girl Lexi Featherston. New York may be O-V-E-R, but Lexi and her majestic party exit will live forever.
