Former host of The View Meghan McCain is sick to death of the “super kinky” second season of And Just Like That… calling it “slop” and claiming it’s just trying to tick off a “woke checklist.”
In an essay McCain wrote about the show for The Daily Mail, she rips into the Sex and the City spinoff for not living up to the original.
“The knock-off lacked everything that made the original series great; sharp dialogue, compelling characters and plots broaching taboo topics that mainstream American entertainment had never dared touch,” McCain wrote, claiming that the new show is “all about labels; trans, cis, white, black.”

The famous political nepo baby also blasted the show for “destroying” the Sex and the City brand and seemed disturbed by the “graphic” queer sex scenes between Miranda and nonbinary character Che, writing that the pair are “fully naked, breasts out, writhing in a hot tub, in the middle of the day in Los Angeles.”
In season two of And Just Like That… Miranda and Che are seen experimenting with pegging, something McCain doesn’t seem comfortable with.
“Che lays in bed, hands over head, grasping a wrought iron headboard, while Miranda clumsily tries on a black leather harness for a strap-on and fumbles around with a variety of fake penises,” she said.
McCain, who clearly doesn’t know anything about queer sex, claims Miranda and Che “can't have normal sex. It's got to be super kinky” and that it’s “all leather and studs.”
It seems like the conservative political pundit may have forgotten how much the original series pushed the boundaries of what Americans were used to seeing on their TV screens.
McCain went on to claim the show is “cheap” and “insulting” and said she wished it would focus on the reasons Miranda left her husband and child behind to go to Los Angeles. “Is Che and Miranda’s relationship solely only defined by sex?” she asked. “It’s an ugly stereotype.”
The Republican, however, is excited for the return of Kim Cattrall’s character Samantha, writing that she can’t wait for the “ballsy, offensive, authentic character” to come back because “she won't stand for this progressive nonsense.”
When McCain criticized the “wokeness” of the first season of And Just Like That…Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) told Radio Andy Host Andy Cohen last year that “this is a show that has always pushed every kind of boundary. I think that that’s what’s so magnificent about the new show — about how many different directions we’re going with that and pushing boundaries and shaking people up.”
