In this deep dive into Sex and the City, I explore why Carrie Bradshaw remains one of the most fascinating and misunderstood female characters in TV history. Part 1 of this three-part video essay series analyzes Carrie’s Season 1 and 2 journey through the lens of psychology and pop culture. From her obsession with Mr. Big to her confusion between love and limerence, we will unpack attachment theory, the biology of infatuation, and how 1990s New York’s hedonistic dating scene shaped her understanding of romance.
