Nice effects though.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

I never write reviews on IMDb, but after seeing horrible reviews, I had to do something. I have never watched SATC or the movies, but I wanted to watch this show because it looked like a good break from horror shows. First of all, the series is BASED on the book series of The Carrie Diaries, not the SEX AND THE CITY books/TV show/movies. And when you read the word based, it means that it won't be 100% accurate; that never happens when a book becomes a show/movie. I don't see why that would scare away some hardcore SATC fans, you're here to see how Carrie made it, not if she looks like SJP, or if his dad is present instead of her mom. And all those changes were made by Candace Bushnell, the author of SATC. So make your research before complaining. TCD delivers just the old-fashioned taste of a teen drama; no horror, no blood, just good drama about a group of teens and about their issues while they are on High School. AnnaSophia was the perfect choice to have her own show, I find her charismatic and an actress that can be the lead of a show. The rest of the cast is great too. The plot is awesome; there are not bad episodes, and week by week you want more and more! There's always something going on. Overall, I find this as my current favorite show because it's just a show that you don't take too seriously but you enjoy it because of all the 80's vibe, the cast and the stories. Give it a chance if you like teen shows!

When I saw the commercials for it I thought that it would be terrible, but I decided to give it a chance anyways. While watching the first episode, I fell completely in love with it. It really doesn't have that much to do with Sex and the City besides the location which is what I think makes it a great show. I would recommend everyone to give it a try as long as they have an open mind and don't try to compare it to Sex and the City. Carrie Diaries is a show that makes you think you're watching a John Hughes movie. A show that features 80s fashion, music and NYC is really charming. It definitely doesn't look like a SATC prequel, but its fun to watch a teen show with promising nostalgia.

Let me start by saying that I was very much looking forward to this show. As a sort-of-fan of some of the CW shows, I was very curious how this would turn out to be. Unlike Gossip Girl and 90210, for example, I really wanted this to be a sincere show about a girl living outside the city. To quote one of the other reviewers, 'no drama just for the sake of drama'. I've had enough of all that, so I really wanted this to be a refreshing show. Obviously, I didn't expect it to be anything like SATC, but I was hoping it would give me the same kind of satisfied feeling. To be honest, that is exactly what it is. It's refreshing, it's honest and it's satisfying. I absolutely love it! Unlike others, I don't really care about the facts not being completely accurate, I just really like the look and feel of it. The way AnnaSophia shapes her role of Carrie is amazing; innocent, yet curious for what's out there. I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of the season!

The Carrie Diaries is one of the best TV shows I have EVER watched, it's fun and amazing, it has great plot, one that keeps you interested and it decently deserves a SEASON 2. In my opinion definitely the best CW show, and I was a big fan of Gossip Girl and also liked The Vampire Diaries, but this show is way better. Every time I watch it I just want more and more, I feel emotional after every episode, and I'm completely sure the second season will be lot more popular. I think the only mistake of this show is that, that it is a prequel to SATC and that SATC fans are the ones giving bad reviews because it has a completely different storyline with much more interesting story that everyone should watch and like not just them. It's amazing to see life of teenagers in 1980s and it seems a lot more interesting then ours, the relationship between Carry and Sebastian is so adorable, and I think he should stay the main roll in SEASON 2. Also it would be nicer to have more than just 13 episodes, and the show should start in the beginning of October, right after the Summer when they start school again, when Carry and Sebastian meet and share their feelings! I sincerely hope for Season 2 because it is a great show, that could become even better and it would be disappointing for teens all over the world to cancel it!
