Sex and the City is an
American cable television series. The original run of the show was broadcast on
HBO from 1998 until 2004, for a total of six seasons.
Set in
New York City, the show focused on four women, three in their mid-thirties and one in her forties. The quirky drama/comedy had multiple continuing story lines and tackled socially relevant issues such as
sexually transmitted diseases,
safe sex, and
promiscuity. It specifically examined the lives of big-city professional women in the late 1990s and how changing roles and expectations for women affected the characters.
