It's 1984 and a pre-Manolos-and-Mr.-Big Carrie Bradshaw is just a Connecticut teenager with a rebellious kid sister and a harried father, struggling to deal with her mother's death. She then asks her first questions about love, sex, friendship and family while navigating the worlds of high school and Manhattan.
The CW's The Carrie Diaries is like a real-life video version of that old story The Monkey's Paw, in which a mother's wish for the return of her dead son results in a shambling, mutilated corpse knocking at her door.
Robb is instantly appealing as a 16-year-old Carrie Bradshaw in The Carrie Diaries, a fun and frothy Sex and the City prequel that dares to imagine what its beloved leading lady was like before she started dating Mr. Big and having cosmos with the girls.
Since the creators... are as uncertain about the tone of the show as they are about its audience, viewers are likely to be more puzzled than entertained.
The CW's attempt to capture the magic of Sex and the City in a prequel, set in 1984, could have gone very wrong. But The Carrie Diaries is surprisingly right.
