SEX AND THE CITY

Before Gossip Girl, there was simply Sex and the City (SATC).

Carrie, a freelance sex columnist for Vogue, along with Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda reveal all - and we mean all. Fun, fashion-filled and oh, so fabulous - you won't want to miss a single cocktail.

This long-running show is one juicy drama, boasting a hilarious dark sense of humour and melodramatic antics, almost impossible to not binge.
