The Sex and the City reboot series And Just Like That... has been quite an experience for fans and haters. The show seems to offer something to both groups, reuniting viewers with their favorite characters while introducing a number of controversial storylines. The original SATC paired the gals off with the men of their dreams, but this new iteration has blown that up, killing off Mr. Big, and having Miranda Hobbes betray her sweet husband Steve Brady with a torrid affair. (Charlotte and Harry seem to be going strong, though.)Actress...

One could argue And Just Like That’s Nya and Andre exist on a different plane of reality than the other couples in HBO Max’s Sex and the City reboot. The blissful wife and husband, as played by Karen Pittman and LeRoy McClain, seem to be the only pair not engaging in absurd behavior every available moment—whether blowing up a marriage in favor of “comedy concerts,” hiding BJs from their daughter, or signing off on a date by puking, in perfect unison, into a gutter. Nya and Andre, by comparison, have...
